I was told to get Benadryl cough medicine for my 78-year-old mother with COVID. I can’t find any. Is there another cough medicine that I can give her?

I have had a bad cough and runny nose for three days, tested negative for COVID twice. My cough is wet with some chest tightness, and my sputum is mostly dark yellow. I am a 47-year-old female, currently taking Life brand complete daytime liquid capsules, Tylenol Cold and Flu, and Benylin cough syrup. Should I get antibiotics, and what should I do about my symptoms?

I am a 24-year-old female with COVID, vaccinated and taking Paxlovid. I was told to take it 'about 12 hours apart.' Is 11 hours okay, or should I wait the extra hour? Also, should I test negative after 5 days of the prescription, or does it take longer? Additionally, I have mild allergy-induced asthma and health anxiety. Since I'm getting better, will it not get worse again? Is it okay to use my albuterol inhaler occasionally for mild asthma symptoms?

I have a plugged sinus, a cough, waxy ears, dizziness, and slightly elevated blood pressure. I am 69 years old, diabetic, and have a history of minor cardiac issues, ear wax buildup, and being allergic to sulfa. I was born prematurely. How long have you had the cough? Is it constant throughout the day or does it come and go? Is it a dry cough or a wet cough? Any tightness in your chest? What are all the medications you're currently using, either for the cough or anything else? What's your gender? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?
