I'm really anxious because I've had breathing issues, a cough, and a sore throat for 90 days now. I got tested for Covid three times, and all came back negative, which just adds to my worries. It started suddenly on March 18, and it's not getting any better. Even after testing negative in May, I'm still struggling with breathing problems. This is making me really scared. Can you recommend any medications or advice on what I should do?

I'm a 53-year-old male and have been dealing with allergic asthma for quite some time now. I've been relying on Montac LC, which works well for me, but it's become quite expensive, nearly twice the price over the past year. Plus, nasal sprays and inhalers don't seem to help much, especially with the constant skin itching and sneezing. Is there an alternative tablet or medicine you could suggest?
