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 allMy brother has allergic asthma and only 80% of his lungs are working right now. Is there any treatment like therapy, meds, or even surgery that could help his lungs function at 100% again? Really worried and looking for options to improve his condition.
While asthma can't be cured and it's unlikely his lung function will return to 100%, there are effective treatments that can significantly improve his lung function, control his asthma, and help him live a normal life. These treatments include medication, breathing exercises, and avoiding triggers.

I'm really concerned about my sister who's been in treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis for a bit now. Her recent x-ray showed 45% damage on her right lung and 15% on the left one. These numbers worry me, and I'm unsure if this is a serious issue. The doctors mentioned lung cavities. Does this mean shes in a risky situation? Also, shes able to sit and walk but gets tired quickly when walking for too long. Shes only 20 years old. Is there any possibility that her lungs can heal and return to their original state? I'm wondering if the damage can be reversed since she's still young.
yes there are chances it can become normal. it takes sometime after completion of treatment

My dad just got out of the hospital after dealing with Post Covid Pneumonia, but he's still really weak and has a bit of a cough. I'm worried about his energy levels and overall recovery. Can you recommend any diet plans, energy-boosting drinks, or medications that might help him regain his strength? Oh, and he's diabetic and continues to take his usual meds for that. What should we do?
have foods with increased immunity , like papaya juice, coconut water
