My dad's been dealing with a lung infection from COVID for the past three months. We just got his latest X-ray, and I'm curious to know how much the infection has progressed this time. Can you help explain what the report shows about his current lung infection?

I've been experiencing breathing problems ever since the first wave of COVID. My hemoglobin levels are normal, my oxygen level is at 98, and an X-ray indicates I have chronic bronchitis. Is there any way to cure this permanently? I've never smoked or even tried it, so I'm really confused about what's causing this. Can you help me understand what's going on and if there's a long-term solution?

Salbutamol inhaler and budesonide 200 sos is advised for breathing difficulty.
