My mom caught COVID back on April 17, 2021, and even though its been a couple of months, her oxygen levels are still fluctuating between 92 and 95. Plus, shes been coughing when she eats. I took her to see a pulmonologist on June 1, and she was under treatment until June 25, but the doctor said we didn't need to go back. Is this normal for her recovery?

Question

I'm a 53-year-old male and have been dealing with allergic asthma for quite some time now. I've been relying on Montac LC, which works well for me, but it's become quite expensive, nearly twice the price over the past year. Plus, nasal sprays and inhalers don't seem to help much, especially with the constant skin itching and sneezing. Is there an alternative tablet or medicine you could suggest?

Question

I'm a bit worried about the Budamate 200 mcg inhaler I've been using for the past five days as prescribed by my pulmonologist. Could it potentially lead to secondary infections, like black fungus? Just trying to understand the risks better.

Question

I'm experiencing some shortness of breath, and even though my ECG, blood pressure, and lung tests all came back normal, I'm still worried. Could there be an issue that's not showing up in these reports? What could be causing this problem?
