I'm really concerned about my dad's cough. He's had it for about six months now, and it's mostly when he's lying down, but there's no fever. Besides that, he's dealing with high blood pressure, diabetes, and some heart issues. He's been on c furo cv 625 antibiotics for a couple of days, which seems to help a bit, maybe 40 percent better. But what else can we do? Any advice or other medicines you think would help?

I'm often catching colds and having a cough with the changing weather. I've got allergies to dust and asthma runs in the familymy mom and grandma have it too. I'm thinking of sticking to Ayurvedic medicine because I'm worried about the long-term use of allopathic stuff. But this time, I noticed some blood in the phlegm when I blew my nose. Should I be concerned about this, or is it alright to keep using Ayurveda?

It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and proper diagnosis. In the meantime, you can consider taking Ayurvedic medicine

I'm really concerned about my health after having TB about a year ago. There was water collected around my lungs which was drained during treatment, around 2500 ml in total. My treatment started on May 31, 2016, and ended on April 10, 2017. Now I've noticed that there's a thin and dry layer around my left lung. My doctor said the treatment is complete, but I'm worried about this layer. Can you please advise me on what I should do next?
