My dad has been struggling with breathing and coughing a lot lately. We just got his test results, and it says there are prominent bronchovascular markings in his bilateral lung fields. I'm worried and not sure what this means. Could this explain why he's having these symptoms? What steps should we take next?

It's been 8 days since I tested positive for COVID, and I'm struggling with breathing issues sometimes. I've tried using a nebulizer with Asthalin, which helps a bit. Yesterday, my oxygen levels dropped to 93, so I had to use an oxygen pump. Can you suggest any medicines or other options that might help me deal with this?

I'm having trouble with breathing and have been using Seroflo but recently switched to Foromonide Rotocap. Can you help me understand how these two differ? I'm curious if there are specific advantages or anything important I should know about using Formonide compared to Seroflo.

Seroflo (Salmeterol + Fluticasone) and Formonide (Formoterol + Budesonide) are both combination inhalers that help manage asthma and COPD symptoms. They both contain a long-acting beta-agonist (LABA) and a corticosteroid. Formonide might act faster due to the Formoterol but both medications provide long-term relief when used regularly

I'm worried about my mom. She's been unwell since April 15th. Initially, she had fever, vomiting, and headache for two days. Now she's really weak and has a dry cough, mostly at night, making it hard for her to sleep. Even after taking antibiotics, the cough isn't going away, and medicines are making her feel nauseous. Her oxygen levels are fine, but I'm still concerned about the ongoing cough and sleepless nights. What could be causing this, and what should we do next?
