I was covid positive and just got a negative test result on May 22nd. My SR value was 16.44. I didnt really have any big issues, just a little fever and body pain. But now, even after a month, my oxygen levels have dropped from 98 to 94 and they're not going up. Should I be worried? What should I do?

Is it okay for a 17-year-old boy to use an asthalin inhaler? If I start using it, do I need to carry it everywhere I go? Could it actually lead to more breathing issues after using it? I checked online and found info saying the inhaler works for about 4-6 hours after taking two puffs. Does that mean the breathing problems will definitely return after those hours?

consult pulmonologist he will guide you about good inhalers that u have to take for only one or two times according to your requirements

I've been dealing with a persistent cough for what feels like ages, like over a thousand years, and it's been seriously frustrating. I've visited countless doctors, but none of the treatments seem to work for me. I'm constantly dealing with a dry cough and a sore throat, and it just keeps cycling back. Its leaving me feeling really stuck and I'm not sure what to do anymore. Got any ideas on what could help?
