I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
Stuffed-up sinuses or a sinus infection may cause postnasal drip, especially when lying down. Postnasal drip tickles the back of your throat and leads to coughing. If nighttime coughing is caused by a medical condition such as a sinus infection, it's important to get treatment.

For most people, pneumonia can be treated at home. It often clears up in 2 to 3 weeks with treatment. But older adults, babies, and people with other diseases can become very ill. They may need to be in the hospital.

Dear lybrate-user ji
for pneumonia, pl do not panic. Just follow antibiotic therapy, oxygen therapy, watch out for over hydration, take diabetes medicine regularly. If he is at home, pl see to it that the o2 level should not fall. Check the saturation and maintain at 95% saturation. If it falls below, rush to the nearest hospital if you get a chance.
My best wishes to you and your family. May your dad get well.

Hello Ms. lybrate-user
good morning!
a normal x ray would suffice to know about the condition of lungs.
If you develop breathing difficulty then a ct or mri would be required.
You may take all necessary precautions for covid and keep your hydration and nutrition proper.
Take vitc and zinc tablet and remain stress free.
You would be just fine.

Your bronchial tubes deliver air from your trachea (windpipe) into your lungs. When these tubes become inflamed, mucus can build up. This condition is called bronchitis, and it causes symptoms that can include coughing, shortness of breath, and low fever.
