I've been dealing with a dry cough for the past two weeks and it's driving me crazy. I've already tried Clavam 625 and taking Budesal 1 mg twice daily, along with doing steam inhalations, but nothing is really helping. I'm feeling really tired and just want to know what else I can do to get better. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I've had a really bad cough for the last couple of days, and there's a wheezing sound when I breathe sometimes. I've been taking Rex cof syrup, but it hasn't helped at all. I did a COVID test, and thankfully, it's negative. I'm just wondering if there's any other medicine or treatment youd recommend for this cough?

I'm curious if there's a blood test that can help understand how severe my ILD is and whether the disease is stable or getting worse since I can't have an HRCT all the time. Also, if I'm taking the right medications after being diagnosed with ILD, how many years could I potentially expect to live?

ILD is a curable disease, need not worry

I'm really worried about my mom. She has this severe dry cough that gets worse whenever the weather changes, and we've been trying to manage it with monocortil 6 mg for a couple of months. Its been helpful, but Im concerned because it seems like her diabetes is getting worse. Could this be related to the medication? I'm not sure what to doshould we continue with the monocortil or try something else? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
