I'm dealing with a cough problem for the past 15 days. I think it started because I've been sleeping in front of a cooler, and now it feels like the cough is stuck in my throat and chest. I've tried drinking turmeric milk, eating chana, having Honitus, and even using ginger and honey, but nothing seems to be helping. The cough just isn't coming out, and now my throat is really starting to hurt. What should I do?

View allI've been dealing with asthma for over 8 years now and my doctor prescribed me a budesonide formoterol inhaler. Things have improved a bit, but I still have to use it, especially in winter. I just got over COVID about two weeks ago, but I've been noticing that if I sleep with the fan on high and no blanket, I get breathing issues because of the cold. This even happens during the summer. I always need a blanket when I sleep. Last night, around 3am, I had a breathing problem and tightness in my chest. My oxygen level was 89, but it went back above 93 after I turned off the fan and used a blanket. During the day, my oxygen is above 95. I'm worried because my oxygen levels drop at night. I've had this issue since I was a child, but back then, I didnt have a way to monitor my SpO2. Is this normal in asthma?
it might be due to nasal congestion, take steam inhalation before you sleep. it is not normal. there might be slight positional variations,but not this much

I'm really worried about my dad. He's 75 and dealing with diabetes and low blood pressure. Recently, he had some intense chest and back pain, and when he was admitted to the hospital, the doctors told us it was pneumonia with a lung infection. He spent six days in the ICU before moving to the IT ward three days ago. Now, the doctors are saying the infection might be back and they think he needs to go back to the ICU. I'm trying to find a specialist who can give us more insight. What could be causing this infection to return, and how can we make sure he's getting the best care?
