Close Anonymous Unfriend Friend Requested Friend Load More Close Destination Page Area Group Destination Content Title Title Article Type Copy comments My Dad has had COPD for several years but it has always seemed mild. Just recently he caught a cold and now has been sick for weeks. He has laryngitis and constant phlegm. Unfortunately, he lives alone and is also in a different country to me so I am very worried about him. He has a doctor and had a pneumonia shot. I talk to him most days but I keep hoping he will sound better but he doesn't seem to be getting better at all? Is it possible that he could improve? I'm very worried :( Thank you
