I'm concerned about my 70-year-old mom. She's really sensitive to the cold, and since last week, she's been coughing after showering and sitting under a fast fan. Most of the time, it's a dry cough, but sometimes there's some mucusy spit. She doesn't have a fever, shortness of breath, or feel weak, but I'm worried about whether this needs attention. Should I consider seeing a specialist or doing any tests, especially since she's refusing to visit the doctor? Any advice would really help.

View allI'm really worried about my brother. About twenty days ago, he started having chest congestion and trouble breathing. We took him to a physician who gave him an x-ray, an inhaler, and Montelukast. He seemed okay at first, but then on the third day, the symptoms came back. We rushed him to the hospital and he was admitted for suspected COVID-19 because of his cough and sneezing, but all his tests came back negative, and they discharged him when his x-ray seemed fine. Now, he's feeling that breathlessness again, along with this acid-like feeling in his lungs and stomach causing chest congestion. Could this be because of anxiety? His heart rate shoots up when he feels this way. We're really struggling because there's no specialist around here since we're in a red zone. What could we do to help him? Any advice would be appreciated.
start a inhaler which was suggested to you. take tablet . pantoprazole for 3 days

I'm really worried about my husband. He's been diagnosed with acute bronchitis, but he's still running a fever after four days of taking the prescribed medication. The doctor gave him Acebrophyline, acetylcysteine, Cefixime, montelukast, levocetrizine, and paracetamol. I'm confused though, is acute bronchitis usually caused by a virus or bacteria? Could there be an issue with these medicines not working, or should we be concerned about something else?
medicine which is given is sufficient , give paracetamol 650 mg three times in a day
