instruction: hi doctor I am sharing my bedroom with my father he is years old he is in generally good health and has ulcerative colitis I am just having an issue nowadays where he keeps sneezing and coughing without covering his face all over the room I assume that it is due to an allergy he does not like to wear mask and thinks it is funny when he coughs or sneezes around me nothing to do with coronavirus I just wanted to know your expert opinion if I could get something from him because I feel disgusted when I see him coughing and sneezing around me is this cough and sneeze harmless easily taken care of by our immune system or would I possibly get some illness from him and start coughing and sneezing myself
output: hello in times of coronavirus that is the first thing that comes to my mind cough and nasal congestion are some of the symptoms of coronavirus sadly if that is the case there is a very high likelihood you can get it from him however if you have got him tested and it is negative it is more likely to be allergic if so it is not possible to transfer the disease to you just by being in your proximity if possible start him on antihistamines and nasal spray as soon as possible to relieve him of his symptoms I will give you a prescription for the same tablet levocetirizine every night 2 hour before sleeping florist nasal spray twice daily in both nostrils diluted povidone iodine gargles times daily syearup macbery cough syearup my twice a day all these for days days
