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?

View allI'm a 29-year-old guy dealing with allergic rhinitis, and now it's progressed to allergic asthma. I had a chest X-ray, which was normal, but my AEC count came back high. A few days ago, I had a really severe breathing problem, and my doctor put me on Airtec SF 250, ABphylline SR 200 mg, and Montair FX. These have helped a little, but I'm still feeling some breathing issues. I'm wondering if it'll take some time for the symptoms to fully settle down, or if there's anything else I could be taking to feel better. Could you give me some advice?
Continue all the medications .ab augmentin duo 625mg ,orally ,thrice daily for 5 days advised to the patient.Also syrup salbutamol 10ml thrice daily for 7 days is advised to the patient.Steam inhalation is also advised twice .Salbutomol inhaler sos for breathing difficulty is advised to the patient.

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with shortness of breath, chest pain, sinus infections, and fatigue for the last four months. I've seen three doctors, but nothing seems to be working for me. I've tried medications like doxycycline, azithromycin, montelukast, deflazacort, trystep D, gudacef antibiotics, bronchodilators, and fluticasone nasal spray, but the allergy is just getting worse. My IgE levels have jumped from 250 in June to 1100 in September, and one of my nostrils is always blocked due to the sinus issue. I'm constantly tired and at random times my chest hurts. My X-ray, blood test, and ferritin levels are all normal, but nobody has done a PFT because of COVID. Why is this happening and what should I do next?
avoid allergens , drink warm water, steam inhale 5 times a day, stop junk , control eating habits and consult nearby pulmonologist
