I'm dealing with a cold that's been giving me the occasional sneeze and a sore throat, plus sometimes I notice some mucus, which is generally transparent. I'm also experiencing shortness of breath, a heavy feeling in my chest, and generally feeling pretty fatigued. Can you advise me on what might be going on or suggest any steps I should take?

View allI've been dealing with a persistent dry cough for about three months now. There's no cold or fever with it, but the coughing isn't constantjust enough that it's causing some pain in my throat. I'm not sure what's going on, and I'm a bit worried since it's been so long. Any advice on what might be causing this or steps I could take to feel better?
Persistent dry cough for more than 3 months can be due to various reasons such as postnasal drip, asthma, or acid reflux. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter cough suppressants like Dextromethorphan. You can also consider using throat lozenges containing Benzocaine to help with the throat pain. Additionally, staying hydrated and using a humidifier can also provide relief. If your symptoms persist, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about my brother. About twenty days ago, he started having chest congestion and trouble breathing. We took him to a physician who gave him an x-ray, an inhaler, and Montelukast. He seemed okay at first, but then on the third day, the symptoms came back. We rushed him to the hospital and he was admitted for suspected COVID-19 because of his cough and sneezing, but all his tests came back negative, and they discharged him when his x-ray seemed fine. Now, he's feeling that breathlessness again, along with this acid-like feeling in his lungs and stomach causing chest congestion. Could this be because of anxiety? His heart rate shoots up when he feels this way. We're really struggling because there's no specialist around here since we're in a red zone. What could we do to help him? Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm concerned about my dad; he had fever and chills yesterday, and his oxygen level was at 94. He's 58 years old. Is a 94 oxygen level considered normal for him?
An oxygen level of 94% is slightly below normal but not immediately concerning. Since your dad has fever and chills, it's important to monitor his oxygen levels and consult a doctor if they drop further or if his symptoms worsen. Prompt evaluation is key, especially given his age.
