So my mom and Dad are my guardians. My dad has had a cough for quite sometime. At first it was like a feather stuck in his throat. He would clear his throat and be fine. Well it got worse and my Dad never gets sick. He went to the doctor and the meds didn't work. They said it could be acid reflex. He threw up. They gave him new meds, but his cough is worse and he is weak. Well, his cough doesn't sound right. I remember years ago my dig started coughing and it got so bad I just new He needed help immediately. I can tell these things. My parents came home took him o he vet and he passed away and died. My dad doesn't even want to talk with us it makes him cough. He can't sleep and he has to give a meeting tour tomorrow at work. Please pray. He is so weak. I have never seen him like this. Years ago he had found lumps on his head, but never got them checked. He doesn't think it is a big deal so much I forgot about it. I think he forgot too. I hope he is going to be OK. I can not make him go to the doctor. He just came from there. He sets my pills up for me through out the day and night. It is very tedious and my mom and I can't do it on our own. He does the taxes and everything paper work, On anything he knows it. My mom love her, but she is pacified and doesn't know how to do much. She doesn't use careful thought or wisdom about things. She is very impulsive. She also, God don't hate me, vindictive. Very very much so. My dad keeps us surviving. I need him. A lot of my friends fathers have passed away. I can't live without him. Who is going to take care of me and hangout with me. We share common interests. I'm just really sad. I can't loose him. I just know that noise the dog made and it is the same. It isike he has asthma or something. Please keep me in your prayers thanks.

A chest X ray?
 
You know how doctors are. They don't even have time to see you they just write off a prescription
 
Ok so his doctor said he has a upper respiratory virus and gurd. They said he would be fine, but it is starting up all again. It is kind of like an asthmatic cough and having the flu. I don't know what is happening to him. He sounds so much worse. 😢

There are things you can do to prevent the gerd . Taking Apple cider vinegar is one . Modifying his diet also , fried food is a trigger .

Apple Cider Vinegar Dosage: How Much Should You Drink per Day?

GERD Diet: Foods That Help with Acid Reflux (Heartburn)
From the link above .

Foods commonly known to be heartburn triggers cause the esophageal sphincter to relax and delay the digestive process, letting food sit in the stomach longer, says Gupta. The worst culprits? Foods that are high in fat, salt or spice such as:

  • Fried food
  • Fast food
  • Pizza
  • Potato chips and other processed snacks
  • Chili powder and pepper (white, black, cayenne)
  • Fatty meats such as bacon and sausage
  • Cheese
Other foods that can cause the same problem include:

  • Tomato-based sauces
  • Citrus fruits
  • Chocolate
  • Peppermint
  • Carbonated beverages
 
Hi citrus praying God's healing hands will come against whatever is causing this and that healing is already happening and your dad needs to receive it. All of you are in my prayers.

On a side note, you and your mother need to make some kind of plans in advance care for the both of you as your dad, like many men usually pass before their wives. You need to set up some kind of care directive for both of you.
 
I don’t have a guardian but my parents are my earthly support system. I know the feeling of dread when they get sick 😷 and then feeling guilty because I’m thinking about my own vulnerability not their illness. And so…

Both of my parents had protracted illnesses recently. They received proper medical care and they weren’t severely ill it’s just that the symptoms lingered. Disconcerting…

God hears our prayers and He knows where we are. Please do talk to your parents about legal arrangements…

Praying 🙏
