Thank you for writing.
What country is he living in? It's hard to recommend something when we don't know what is sold there. What kind of lung disease does he have? We need to know this to help you further - please let us know more about the situation.

It's very important to me.

You can ask your local pharmacist what over-the-counter medication can be used by explaining his symptoms.
October 10, 2017 - 1:36pmHowever, sending any kind of medication to China - even over-the-counter meds - has risks. If the package is opened, your father could be accused of drug smuggling. This is something that you need to bear in mind as you look for something to help him.
Is he near any larger town near him that has a pharmacy?

I be back to see him this end of month . So I can take him some medicine. He just home from the hospital and the doctor said nothing is good for him tell us send him to ICU but we don't want to. Cause his not that bad,so we don't want to take that risk.
