I'm having a tough time with a dry cough for about 34 weeks now, and I've tried all sorts of syrups like Cofdex and Honitus, but nothing's helping. It's gotten to the point where I'm having really bad headaches. Could you please provide some advice on what I should do next?

Question

I'm dealing with central sleep apnea and my oxygen levels are pretty low, even with using a CPAP machine every day. It's only around 70. Could you suggest any treatments that might help with this? I'm really concerned about my health.

Question

I'm really worried about my father. About ten days ago, he had a fever, but thankfully, it's been gone for the last five days. However, his SpO2 levels are really concerningthey drop to around 52-55 when he's sleeping and are only 85-92 while he's awake, no matter whether it's day or night. He's been snoring for years now. He weighs about 90 kg. His HRCT done on May 7th showed a score of 1125. He doesn't have any other symptoms like coughing, headache, body pain, or loss of taste or smell. Currently, he's taking Megmacer 1gm, Pdsolon 40, Alcorab 20, and Megclid. What should I do?

Question

I've been having this breathlessness issue for a while now. It's strange because I don't have asthma and my blood pressure is normal. The doctor did some kind of small lung test using this tiny machine on my finger, and that came out normal too. But I keep getting this really frequent cough and have problems with acidity. Could they be related? I'm wondering if this is something serious. What's your take on it?
