My mom, who's 56, tested positive for COVID two weeks ago. Luckily, she's not showing most symptoms anymore, but we're worried because her dry cough just won't go away. It's been bothering her for two weeks now. Could you recommend a good cough syrup or any advice on what might help?

View allI'm really worried about my cousin who's in the 12th grade and was just diagnosed with TB, which he was told is linked to some kind of stomach infection. I'm trying to understand, how is TB different from asthma? And is there a possibility that his TB could turn into asthma?
Tab 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 daily to the patient.

My dad's oxygen levels are fluctuating between 94 and 97. It usually drops a bit after dinner and tends to be higher around noon. He's got asthma, so I'm wondering, would it help if he took steam and did breathing exercises like Anulom Vilom? Any suggestions on how we can improve his oxygen level?
Patient is advised deep breathing exercises,jogging,swimmingquit smoking,eating healthy diet,drinking plenty of water, can improve oxygen saturation.

I'm really worried about my mom. She's 61 and a BP patient who just tested positive for COVID. At first, she only had a headache and body pain with no fever, but then on the fourth day, her fever shot up to 102.6 degrees. It's been a week now, and her fever hasn't gone away, so we got a CT scan and some blood work done. The results showed a CT score of 1025, GGO, and consolidation. Her LDH is at 376, CRP at 23.94, and D-dimer is 506. Her oxygen saturation is around 96-97. I'm not sure what the next steps should be. Do you think steroids, blood thinners, and Remdesivir would be the right treatment? And should we consider admitting her to the hospital? I'm really concerned and could use some advice.
its better we start a course of steroid
