Why haven't my cough and thick sputum gone away even after 10 years since taking CAT1? Now I've been diagnosed with MDR, and although I don't have major issues apart from the constant coughing, it's really persistent, especially in the morning. I also get tired easily throughout the day. Could this lingering cough be related to MDR, and is it normal to feel this tired all the time? Should I be worried about missing chest pains or aches? What can I do to manage this better?

I'm really worried about my dad who's 73. He was diagnosed with COVID-19 on June 14th and had a mild fever, but that went away after taking paracetamol. Now he's started coughing since yesterday and while we're giving him Reswas syrup, it hasn't completely stopped. His D-dimer is 0.87 and CRP 9.6. Should we be concerned about these numbers? Is there anything else we should be doing or any other meds he might need?

I've been dealing with a cough for a couple of weeks now, and it's starting to worry me. It feels really hard to breathe whenever I start coughing. Do you think there's a specific medication I should try, or is there a test I need to get done to figure out what's going on? Would appreciate any advice.

I'm trying to get a job in Dubai but during the medical exam, they said I was unfit because of bronchi vascular markings in my chest x-rays. I've been on medication for about three weeks but haven't seen any improvement. I did another x-ray and it's still the same. Can you give me advice on what I should do? I really need to clear the medical exam.
