Question

I'm dealing with chest congestion that's been around for quite a while now. I've got this annoying cough and it feels like something's just lodged in my throat. Any ideas on how I can get rid of it?

Question

Hey, my dad is 65 and he had COVID pneumonia back in April with a pretty high HRCT score of 1225. He was discharged at the end of April and was keeping his SPO2 levels up at 98 without any extra oxygen. But since mid-July, his SPO2 has been hanging around 95 to 96, and it only hits 98 in the morning. Should I be worried that the infection might be coming back? Hes doing pranayama and using that 3-ball lung exercise tool every morning for 40 minutes.

Question

I'm trying to figure out if occasional wheezing from allergies could mean I have asthma. I've noticed that using an asthalin puff helps when this happens, but I'm not sure if it's just wheezing or if it actually indicates asthma. Could you help clarify this for me?

Question

My mom's been on atorva for the past couple of years, but she's recently started having this weird dry cough that we can't really explain. Could this be a side effect of atorva? I've read that it might lead to interstitial lung disease or something like that. She's 53, by the way. Could that be related?
