I'm currently dealing with a heavy cough and cold, despite taking mox 250 capsule and levosiz 5mg tablet. These have helped me breathe easier, but I'm still feeling a sore throat, and it feels like the cough is stuck in my chest but comes out when I cough. Can you suggest a more permanent solution to fully recover from this?

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been battling COVID since the start of April, and while she was officially diagnosed on the 7th via an RTPCR test, she's had all sorts of symptoms like fever, loose motion, cold, dry cough, chest pain, and even some trouble breathing. We did a chest CT scan and an echo test before the RTPCR, and those showed moderate pneumonia with a CT score of 925. After getting treatment in the hospital with stuff like multivitamins, vitamin C, doxycycline, ceftriaxone, pantoprazole, and enoxaparin injections for 6-7 days, she seems better and she's been discharged. But now she's still having a bit of a cough and some loose motion, like 2-3 times a day. I'm really keen to know what kind of post-COVID treatment or tests she might need. What should we be careful about while she's recovering? Is there anything specific we should watch out for or any medications she should continue with?

continue multivitamin tablet for 15 days, no need of any tests

I'm having trouble breathing and it's been happening for a while now. Lately though, it feels like I'm not getting enough air, and when I try to take a deep breath, sometimes I just can't. It's making me really uncomfortable. Could this possibly be a sign of asthma?

no its not a symptom of asthma. it might be due to anxiety, reduce your stress

I'm really worried about ILD and whether it's curable or not. I've read online that people with ILD only live for about 3 to 5 years. Is that true? Is there anything specific I can do to help manage this disease? Id really appreciate any advice or remedies you can suggest.

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.
