Question

My mom was on oxygen support for about a week, ranging from 284 to 55. Her HRCT score was 1825, which later dropped to 1525. When she was discharged, her O2 level was at 93, but it hasn't improved since. It even drops when she has other health issues like diarrhea. Any suggestions on a good treatment plan to help get her oxygen level back to normal?

I'm really worried about my dad. He's got asthma, just like his dad did, and Im not sure, but is having a cold related to asthma? Hes had a runny nose for about 15 days now. Could this be because of his asthma, or do you think it might be something else? What should we do?

Question

I've been dealing with a cough for the past five days, and I've also got a sore throat. The cough mostly happens at night and it's super dry. None of the meds seem to be helping so far. I've also had an X-ray done could you tell me if it looks normal?

Question

I'm really worried about some symptoms I've been having. I've had a productive cough and breathing issues for about a month. The doctor told me it was bronchitis and gave me medication like LezineM and Levoflox, which helped a lot, but now that I'm done with the treatment, the breathing issues are creeping back a bit. Also, I've noticed the lower part of my throat moves in and out when I breathe. My chest X-ray and blood work came back normal, and while I'm not coughing really hard, there's still a bit of it. Could these be signs of lung cancer?
