I'm dealing with a persistent cough and cold that just seems to keep coming back. I've been using Grilinctus syrup, but it doesn't seem to be doing the trick. Do you have any suggestions on what I should do? I'm really looking for some advice on how to get over this quickly.

I'm just a bit worried about my dad. He was positive for covid19 on December 3rd but thankfully tested negative by the 20th. Even though he's active and not complaining much, we decided to do a HRCT chest scan to be cautious. The results showed subpleural ground glass opacities in his bilateral lower lung lobes with a CT Severity Score of 0625 and Corads 4. He's been taking B complex, Vitamin C, and Vit D 60k for the next 20 days. Should we consider any other medications for him? Just trying to ensure we're not overlooking anything important.

the above medicines are sufficient just to boost his immunity

I've been dealing with a lingering cough thats been sticking around for a while. Lately, I've noticed I'm coughing up blood, which has me pretty worried. I did a sputum test for AFB and it came back negative, and I was prescribed some antibiotics. While the coughing up blood has decreased, it hasn't disappeared completely. What are some steps I can take to completely get rid of this blood in my sputum and the cough?

Patient is advised complete blood count,esr,C-reactive protein and chest x-ray pa view.
