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?

Question

I'm really worried about my wife. She's 35 and has been dealing with this heavy dry cough for over two weeks now. It's like she's coughing 247, and it's been tough on her. We went to see an MD and he said she might be dealing with asthma and an allergic cough. The doctor gave her some meds: Cefakind CV 500 twice a day, Doxomax XP twice a day, Grilinctus BM syrup three times a day, and she's also using a nebulizer twice daily. Her blood and urine tests came back normal but shes still not feeling any better. Could you help us understand what might be the best treatment for this kind of heavy allergic dry cough? We're feeling pretty stuck and don't know what to do next.

Question

I'm trying to understand the details of my recent report. It mentions my heart size is normal, my lungs show prominent broncho vascular markings, and both domes and costophrenic angles are clear. Can you explain what this all means and if theres anything I should be concerned about?

Question

I'm noticing some chest congestion that's been going on for about a week now. It's making it hard to breathe at times, and I've got a bit of a cough. Plus, I hear these heavy sounds when I breathe. Could this possibly be asthma or something else? I really need some advice on what might be happening.
