I'm really worried about my grandfather who's dealing with bullous emphysema. He's been on medication for about 3 years, but he's developed a cough over the past week. In the past, the doctor prescribed cepodem xp 325. With the ongoing COVID situation, we're hesitant to visit any doctor in person, so I'm wondering if he could safely take that medication now, or perhaps something called cepox cv. He's currently taking Lmontus, Abflo, and Ambrolite Levo syrup. I've heard cepodem xp 325 isnt always effective against certain bacteria, and Im just not sure what the best course of action is right now. Can you provide some guidance?

I've been having some serious problems lately with throwing up right after I eat, and I keep getting these bouts of dry cough and cold. My recent X-ray showed something about 'moderate prominent broncho vascular markings'. What does that mean? Should I be worried about it? And could all of these symptoms be connected somehow? I'm really worried and would love your insight.
Could be indicative of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and possible respiratory infection. For the vomiting, you can take Omeprazole (brand name Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast. For the dry cough and cold symptoms, you can take Levocetirizine (brand name Xyzal) 5mg once daily at bedtime. It is also important to stay hydrated and avoid triggers that worsen your symptoms.
