I took the Pfizer vaccine a week ago and started experiencing a tight feeling in my throat, which comes and goes, mostly at night.

My father, who is 84 years old, has congestive heart disease, gout, and recently tested positive for a bacterial infection in his urine. He has a history of fluid in his lung and high blood pressure. He is currently coughing regularly throughout the day, which is dry, and uses Ventolin when he has difficulty breathing. He takes Lasix but not always regularly. What is the best next step to take, and should he be hospitalized?

I've had a cold for a week now and am coughing badly. It feels similar to when I was diagnosed with bronchitis several years ago. The cough is not dry but phlegmy and felt deep in my chest. I'm currently using DayQuil for congestion and Benylin for mucus/phlegm. I'm a 75-year-old female. What should I do to manage this condition?
