I'm really worried because I've been having trouble breathing and I often feel uneasy when I breathe. Plus, I've got this cough that's been bothering me for a while. I know it's not tuberculosis, but what else could be causing these symptoms? Should I be checking for something else?

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been having these breathing issues for around two weeks now, and he's coughing up some whitish stuff, but he hasn't traveled anywhere recently. We did an X-ray and it seems like his heart might be a bit enlarged. Could this be what's causing his breathing trouble? Our city's in lockdown and I can't get him to see a doctor in person. No doctors seem available in our government hospitals too, so it's a real struggle. He's currently on Levo Mac 500, Dezacor 6, and Montegesic LC. What should we do?

Continue same treatment,Also continue seroflo inhaler sos for breathing difficulty.
