I'm dealing with this dry cough that just won't go away. It's been ages, and nothing seems to come up when I cough. I've already gone to the hospital and got tested. The docs gave me some tablets and did an X-ray too. But even after all of this, the cough hasnt stopped. One of the doctors mentioned it's not TB and said my chest looks clear. So what else could be causing this? I'm 26, don't smoke, and only drink alcohol on rare occasions and in small amounts. Just trying to figure out what's going on here.

View allI'm a bit confused and worried about my oxygen levels. A few months ago, I recovered from COVID and currently, I'm on medication for anxiety, as my doctor prescribed. I've noticed that when I'm at rest or walking, my SPO2 hovers around 94-96%. But when I take deep breaths, it jumps to 98-99%. I get that deep breathing brings in more oxygen, but why doesn't this happen when I'm breathing normally? Is there something more I should know?

I recently went to a pulmonologist and was diagnosed with pneumonia. I was put on coamoxiclav antibiotics for a week and duavent for nebulizing. But it's been two weeks since my follow-up visit, and I'm still coughing up phlegm. The doctor has now prescribed me levofloxacin and zykast. I'm a bit worried since I'm breastfeeding. Should I be concerned about these medications? Also, why hasn't my cough improved?

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been dealing with Asthma for a long time, and on top of that, now he's got this Marbu Sali thing going on for the last three days. He's been using Asthalin rotocaps a lot, like 78 times a day, which sounds like way too much, right? And now he's got a headache too. He doesn't have any bad habits but he just won't go see a doctor. I'm not sure what to do, can you suggest any other options or treatments that might help him?
