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?

Some sources like blogs and newspapers say it doesn't help at all, while debates on news channels and YouTube videos also suggest it's not beneficial. I'm really confused and concerned. Could you shed some light on whether steaming is actually useful for someone dealing with corona?

I'm really worried about starting to use a revoliser. My parents keep telling me it's something I'll have to use for the rest of my life, which makes me hesitant to start it even though it's been prescribed to me. They're big believers in Ayurveda, and I wonder if that might be a better option for me. Will I really have to rely on a revoliser forever? Could it become something I get addicted to? Would love some clarity on this.
use it if symptoms exacerbated

I'm a bit concerned because about two weeks ago, I had a cough and cold, but recently, for the last 10 days or so, I've noticed a small amount of blood in my sputum in the mornings when I cough up. It's not a lot, and only happens on and off, but the blood is bright red and looks fresh. The doctor gave me some antibiotics, but the blood is still there sometimes, even though the cough itself has gone away. I sometimes just feel like I need to clear my throat. I have my X-ray report ready too, just wondering if this is something to worry about?
