I'm often catching colds and having a cough with the changing weather. I've got allergies to dust and asthma runs in the familymy mom and grandma have it too. I'm thinking of sticking to Ayurvedic medicine because I'm worried about the long-term use of allopathic stuff. But this time, I noticed some blood in the phlegm when I blew my nose. Should I be concerned about this, or is it alright to keep using Ayurveda?

I'm really worried about my dad. He's 62 and was in the hospital for COVID-19 with a CT severity score of 2125. He needed oxygen support for about 25 days and was on a lot of medications like steroids and anticoagulants. Now, he's been home for a month doing physiotherapy and breathing exercises, but mostly bed rest. His oxygen saturation is fine when he's resting, around 97-98, but it drops to 90-91 when he walks or does any little exercise. Plus, he still has a bit of a dry cough. Can you help me understand when we might see his oxygen levels stabilize and what more we can do?

I'm wondering about a change in my inhaler meds recently. I've always had these bronchial issues right from when I was a kid. My doc swapped out my Levosalbutamol inhaler for a Budesonide corticosteroid inhaler. But I'm a bit nervous about using steroids because Ive heard once you start, you can't just stop. Does anyone have any advice on if this is really safe? Would really love to hear some opinions on this.
