I'm a 25-year-old female and have been dealing with asthma since 2005. I've been using Budamate 200 mg and then switched to Formonide Novacart 200 mg since 2012. Now, I'm facing an issue because Formonide Novacart isn't available in the market anymore. I'm wondering what alternative medicine I could use or is it best to see a pulmonologist to discuss other options?

View allI'm really worried about my mom, she's 63 and has had asthma for a long while. Lately, she's been having trouble with her breathing and she's also been getting headaches. We went to the hospital and got an X-ray, ECG, and COVID test done, and thankfully, everything came back normal. But I'm still concerned and thinking of keeping her on oxygen at home for a bit because I'm afraid of the risks at the hospital. Can you tell me how to get an oxygen cylinder for home use and what precautions I should take?
give asthma medications instead of oxygen

Is it dangerous if my dad's oxygen saturation is swinging between 81 and 93? He's suspected to be COVID positive, but he doesn't have any breathing problem. He's normal otherwise while we're waiting for his PCR test results. Should he be on certain medication or something?
Low oxygen saturation between 81-93% can be concerning, even if he's not feeling breathless. It's important to monitor him closely while awaiting the PCR results. If his oxygen levels continue to stay low or worsen, he may need supplemental oxygen or further medical care, so it's best to consult with his doctor for advice.
