I'm really struggling with acute bronchitis, and it's been going on for about three years. Nights are the worst because I just can't seem to find any relief and get really restless. Can you recommend a remedy that might actually help me feel better?

I'm really worried about my dad, he's 63 and was found COVID positive about 6 days ago. His CT scan showed 50% lung damage and he's been struggling with swallowing food. He hasn't eaten anything for the past 15 days and he's not on constant oxygen, though sometimes he needs it when his oxygen levels drop. Can any doctor advise on what we should do next?

I'm feeling this deep and incomplete breathing at random times during the day, and then I get shortness of breath when exercising. A few months back, I was even coughing up blood for about 34 days, and had something similar happen a year ago. On top of that, I'm having these gastro issues like thick and sticky mucus in my stool every 10 to 20 days. I've lost a bunch of weight, dropping to 79 kg over the past 3 years, and I feel like my growth has stopped. Do you have any idea what's going on with me?
