The reason for the clot development is that the virus attacks the heme in the blood cells, rendering them unable to carry the required oxygen. The lungs become distressed and become inflamed because they think they are falling down on the job and start working harder, but it doesn't help. This will trigger the cough reflex.
Additionally, the vascular system realizes something is wrong because not enough oxygen is being delivered. Its response is to assume the body is wounded and has a bleed. So, it makes more red blood cells and sends out clotting factor (fibrin) to plug the leak, wherever it is. But there is no wound, there is no leak. All these extra red blood cells get attacked by the virus and they, too cannot carry enough oxygen.
So, the combination of too many damaged blood cells packed in the veins along with too much fibrin starts to create these tiny micro clots (microthrombosis). They won't show up on an x-ray or CT scan until they get big. But enough of them will do you in.
Currently, the only thing that will confirm their development is the D-Dimer test. The higher the number, the more clots you have.
Thus, the cough won't go away until the lungs are allowed to relax. The lungs won't relax until the blood starts carrying more oxygen. Some relief can be gained with supplemental oxygen coupled with the steroids.
The solution was to try and stop the virus with Ivermectin + vitamins, and assist the body with oxygen, antibiotics, and anti-coagulants until his body could get a handle on the situation.

Yes thanks, it's helped a lot.
