My mom was admitted to the government hospital a couple of days ago because she had a really bad cough and her oxygen level was super low, like around 80 when we got there. The doctor said its a lung infection and gave her a prescription with some meds and injections. After taking just one dose, her blood pressure and pulse started going all over the place. I attached the prescription here. I'm a bit worried and just want to make sure these meds are okay to continue with. What do you think?

View allI've been dealing with these dry coughs for a while now, and they just won't go away. They're not super intense, but they're definitely annoying. I don't have any other issues, just this pesky cough. I kinda hoped it would disappear on its own, but it doesn't seem to be happening. What do you think might be going on?

I'm really at a loss here. I've been hit with two chest infections recently and gone through three rounds of antibioticsamoxicillin, azithromycin, and doxycyclineand yet my cough just wont go away. Every time I wrap up an antibiotic treatment, I feel a bit better for a couple of days, but then the fevers and cough come roaring back. The cough is awful, brings up phlegm, and even sets off my asthma, making me feel lightheaded and out of breath. It's just so frustrating. I've ruled out whooping cough with a test, so I'm really wondering what could be going on and what I should do next. Any ideas?
