For the past year or so, my dad just constantly coughs. The longest I've seen him go without coughing (while he was awake) was maybe 15 minutes, and he has even coughed so hard, that he gave himself a small hernia. He's been to the doctor, and all they gave him was acouple inhalers, but they don't seem to be helping. The doctors diagnosed him with chronic pneumonia I think it was and asthma. He does smoke, but has cut down quite a bit....if it even has anything to do with it. It scares me and tears me up that nothing is helping. I can tell he is annoyed and exhausted from all the coughing. It's even gotten to the point where my mom or I just can't be with him for a while without having to get up and go to the other room just so we don't lose our minds. I love my dad so much, but it hurts seeing him like this.
Is there anyone in the same boat as me? or does anyone know a kind of specialist I can look up for him to get checked out or any other way I can help him? If not anything else, could you please say a prayer for him. Thank you so much.
