I'm dealing with a cough that's just not going away after celebrating Holi. It's been a while now and I'm getting worried. Is there something I should be doing differently or could there be an underlying issue that's causing this?

It sounds like the dust and colors from Holi may have irritated your airways, leading to a persistent cough. I recommend seeing a doctor to rule out any underlying infection or allergies and to get appropriate treatment, as this kind of cough can sometimes last longer if not addressed properly.

View allMy dad's been on continuous medication, but he's still having a tough time breathing. He's got COPD, and he was diagnosed with it at the hospital about three months ago. We have oxygen support at home, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. I'm really worried about his condition. Is there something more we can do, or any advice you could give on managing this better?
kindly take one more puff of inhaler he is taking if he have these above symptoms

I've been checking my oxygen levels, and they always seem to hover around 94. That seems low compared to what I've read is normal, but I don't have any breathing issues. Just to give you a bit of background, I had a primary complex when I was 10, and a couple of years ago my pulmonary function test showed mild restriction. I don't feel asthmatic or anything, and I do breathing exercises like anulom vilom every day. My pulse rate is around 60, and I'm physically active, playing all kinds of sports without any problems. I'm a 22-year-old male and am just curious if I should be worried about the oxygen levels or if they might be connected to my past medical history. What do you think?
Salbutamol inhaler and budesonide 200 sos is advised for breathing difficulty.

I'm really concerned because about a month ago, I had exudate pleural effusion, and I'm still experiencing pain. Today, I had another chest X-ray, and it shows that the pleural effusion is still there. What could be causing this to persist, and what steps should I take next?
you should actually consult a physician and rule out the causes for pleural effusion. you should start specific treatment for it
