I'm really struggling with cold and cough that's been going on for quite some time now, and I found out it's actually allergic asthma. I'm thinking about getting a PFT test done. What do you think? Would that help in understanding my condition better?

Question

I've had pulmonary bronchitis in the past and got treated for it recently. It's been about two weeks since I also caught COVID, and while mostly everything's fine, I've noticed that some foods are making my phlegm worse. I'm wondering if this is something I should be concerned about or if I need to check in with a doctor. What do you think?

Question

I've been dealing with this leftover issue in my lungs after having the flu for a few days. It's day 5 now, and I feel okay overall, but I have this annoying frog in my throat. It used to be a sore throat, but now it only hurts when I cough. The big concern is when I try to inhale, I can't fully expand my lungs, and I'm wheezing when I breathe out. Could this be acute bronchitis? Do you think I need to see a doctor about it?

I'm really worried because my dad has fluids in his lungs. He just got out of the hospital but he doesn't want to get any more treatment and just wants to stay home. What could happen to him if he doesn't get treated?
