I'm really worried because I've had this cough for the past three months, and now, for the last two weeks, I've also been struggling with breathing. It's a dry cough, and even though I've been drinking a warm glass of water every morning and gargling with salt water for the past couple of weeks, nothing's helping. Could you please tell me what's going on or what I should do?
