I've been diagnosed with bronchiectasis and my doctor wants me to get some tests done, including Liver Function Test, D-DIMER Quantitative, and Prolactin. I'm a bit confused, are these tests directly connected to the bronchiectasis, or is there another reason for these specific tests?

I've got asthma and just bought a new tablet called Monticope Montelukast with levocetirizine dihydrochloride, but I've been using Levozing Lm Montelukast with levocetirizine hydrochloride for a while now. I'm a bit confused about the difference between dihydrochloride and hydrochloride. Does it make a difference, and is it safe to switch to this new tablet?

I'm really worried about my dad. Even though he tested negative for COVID three weeks after testing positive, he's not feeling better. He's having a lot of trouble breathing, can't get enough oxygen, has a fever, and has chest pain. Could this still be related to COVID, and what can we do to help him?

take antibiotics doxycycline ,tab mucinac ,tab paracetamol
