I'm having some breathing troubles and I recently got Symbicort online. It came in an ice package. Is it still safe to use like this?

I'm really worried about my mom. She's 64 and had Covid pneumonia back in December 2020. She was on oxygen back then and thankfully recovered. Her breathing seems okay now, but her oxygen levels are always between 94 to 93 when she's awake, and they drop to around 80 to 90 when she's sleeping. We did a chest x-ray two months later, and it showed something called prominent bronchovascular markings of both lung fields. Can you help me understand what that means? Is this something serious or normal? Does she need any treatment for this?

yes she needs treatment. prominent bronchovascular markings means due to infection

I've been prescribed a bunch of medications including Methylprednisolone, Montelukast, Fexofenadine, Acebrophylline, Levofloxacin, a nasal spray with Fluticasone and Azelastine, plus a nebulizer with Duolin and Budecort. My FEV1 is at 42, so I get that it's serious, but this seems like a lot to take in all at once. Is this really normal, or should I be concerned about how heavy this treatment plan feels for me?

no ,it is normal, your body requires this medicine

So I've been able to exercise for quite a while without issues, and my peak flow readings are always solid, like around 550-600, and I'm 17 and about 174 cm tall. But lately, I've got this minor cold, and I've noticed something weird. When I breathe normally, I don't hear anything strange, but when I try to exhale really fast and hard, there's this wheezing sound. Is that normal? Could it just be anxiety causing this wheeze? Just trying to get some clarity on what's happening.

you can exercise for 1 hour. anxiety will not cause wheezing
