I've been feeling really out of breath at night and I'm dealing with a chest infection and a constant cough. I'm wondering if taking the tablet Theoasthalin would help with my symptoms. Can you give me some advice on whether it's a good idea to try it?

I'm really worried about my dad. Even though he tested negative for COVID three weeks after testing positive, he's not feeling better. He's having a lot of trouble breathing, can't get enough oxygen, has a fever, and has chest pain. Could this still be related to COVID, and what can we do to help him?
