I'm a bit worried because I did an RTPCR test for COVID and it came back negative, but I'm still having trouble with wheezing in my chest and some coughing for about 45 days now. I don't have a fever or other symptoms, and the breathing difficulty isn't too bad, but the wheezing is definitely there. I have asthma and normally use my Serflo 250 inhaler only around 10-15 times a year. Just recently, about 5 days ago, I had a really bad allergy attack. I'm not sure what to make of all this. What should I do?

What can we do to help my dad feel better? He's 57, retired, and usually manages his asthma well without meds, but recently he had a flare-up after cleaning the house. He's been using an Asthalin inhaler a bit more, but now on the fourth day, he still wheezes when breathing in and out and seems a bit uncomfortable. Any advice on what could help his symptoms?

kindly continue the treatment,it takes time to relive symptoms

My dad was diagnosed with sarcoidosis after a prostate biopsy, and he had a high ACE level. He's been on 32 mg of prednisolone for about two months now, but we haven't noticed any improvement. He's also taking clarithromycine, forcan, and augmentin because of high neutrophil counts. Im really concerned and just wondering, does it sound like hes on the right treatment plan? Any advice would be really appreciated.

yes the treatment is correct
