Question

I'm curious if having normal oxygen levels in the blood automatically means that the oxygen levels in the lungs are also okay. Like, if the blood's oxygen rate is good, should I assume everything's fine with the lungs too, or is that not always the case?

Question

So, my younger sister has been dealing with allergies for about 10 years now. Her doctor recommended Budecort 100 mg, and she's been taking one puff a day. Normally, she's fine for months, but then suddenly, she starts to get a cold, dry throat, and sometimes a cough, and breathing becomes really hard for her. We end up needing to use a nebulizer in the hospital to get things under control. Do you think there's any permanent solution to stop this from happening?
