I'm having some issues with wheezing here in Bangalore. My doctor suggested I take Mon Deslor at night to help. But I'm wondering, if during the day I start feeling uncomfortable because of the wheezing, can I take another dose of Mon Deslor to help with that? I'm also using a puff, so is it okay to combine all this? Just trying to manage this wheezing better.

Mon Deslor is typically taken as prescribed, usually once daily. If you're experiencing wheezing during the day, its better to rely on your prescribed inhaler (puff) for quick relief rather than taking an extra dose of Mon Deslor. If symptoms persist, consult your doctor to adjust your treatment plan.

I'm really worried about my dad. He's 73 and just got over COVID about nine days ago. For the first five days, his oxygen levels were stable at 95, but then his blood sugar went up, and the doctors said it's from the steroids, even though he's not diabetic. He was treated for around four days, and now the sugar and blood pressure are under control. But his oxygen levels are fluctuating between 86 to 93. Should I be thinking about taking him back to the hospital, or is there something else I could do at home?

I noticed I've been breathing about 25 times a minute when I checked my respiration rate. Is that normal or is it a bit fast? If it's not typical, what might be causing this?

Is it safe to use an inhaler for a cold? I've heard that Vicks inhalers have been banned in some countries. Could using an inhaler start sinus issues?

Inhaler usage typically does not initiate sinus issues. In fact, inhalers are commonly used to treat conditions like asthma and COPD. If you have concerns about sinus issues, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and treatment.
