I'm having some troubling symptoms and wanted to see what you think. I've been experiencing a continuous cough for the past two months and occasionally when I sneeze or cough, I notice blood coming out from my mouth. On top of that, sometimes I have difficulty breathing. It's been worrying me, and I'm not sure what's going on. Could there be something serious happening?

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

I'm a bit worried about whether it's safe for my wife to take Asthakind DX syrup now that she's 27 weeks pregnant. Her pulmonologist included it with some other medications. Should we be concerned about any potential effects on the baby?

I'm really worried about my dad. About 70 days ago, he had corona and needed oxygen therapy at home because his saturation levels were low. For the past 13 days, he hasn't needed oxygen support, and his spo2 levels have mostly been between 94-97. But sometimes when we check, it shows below 90, though it usually goes back to normal above 94 within a few minutes. We're thinking about returning the oxygen cylinder, but I'm concerned. Is there a chance his levels could drop again, and should I be worried about it?

Continue oxygen therapy and saturated is monitored regularly.
