I'm hearing a whistling sound when I breathe out, especially in the mornings. Coughing happens too, but it's pretty rare. I've been taking monticope and using an aerocort inhaler for relief when the issues kick in. Can you help me understand why this is happening and if there's anything else I should be doing about it?

View allI'm just wondering if the Budamate 200 mcg inhaler could be harmful because I know it's a steroid. Is it as risky as other steroids? I'm also concerned about whether using it could lead to something like black fungus. I used it for about five days when I was recovering from COVID. Can you help me understand the possible side effects?
Seroflo rotahaler sos for breathing difficulty is advised to the patient.

I'm curious if having normal oxygen levels in the blood automatically means that the oxygen levels in the lungs are also okay. Like, if the blood's oxygen rate is good, should I assume everything's fine with the lungs too, or is that not always the case?
Yes.
