Am sorry to hear about the suffering your wife and you are going through. Palliative care can help both of you. Strong painkillers may be needed for her and we cannot prescribe those online. Please visit a palliative care center near you and they will make your lives easier.
If you wish, I can recommend some in sri lanka. You can call me for the same. No charge.

Recent x-ray shows worsening of lung condition all lobe impacted. Following this website I am giving him beryllium and silicea alongside the hospital’s alopathic treatment. I only go to hospital once in the evening, giving him 5 pallets of beryllium 30c and 3 pallets of silicea 30c one hour apart in the evening. I am not sure if I am giving him right amount. Requesting direction on the appropriate doses (also if any other meds and doses are suggested) for the acute stage of ild, again I am only able to go to the hospital once in the evening so only can give homeopathy medicine once a day.

A chronic cough is when a cough lasts longer than 8 weeks in adults or 4 weeks in children. Common causes include asthma, allergies, gastroesophageal reflux disease (gerd), or bronchitis. Less commonly, it can be a sign of a more severe condition, such as a heart cough or lung disease.

Dear lybrate user,
as you had detailed----you had an urti few months ago and had a swollen lymph node --which continues after urti is gone---i recommend you to have a check-up with a pulmonologist soon --they will examine your respiratory system in detail and will do local examination and give appropriate treatment ,if needed //or let you go with out any anxiety by explaining to you the details ------ok.
