I'm really concerned about my mom. She's 69 and her oxygen levels are between 92 and 94. She had some mild chest congestion before, and the doctor gave her Azee 500 to take for five days. Is her low oxygen something we should be worried about?

I've been dealing with this leftover issue in my lungs after having the flu for a few days. It's day 5 now, and I feel okay overall, but I have this annoying frog in my throat. It used to be a sore throat, but now it only hurts when I cough. The big concern is when I try to inhale, I can't fully expand my lungs, and I'm wheezing when I breathe out. Could this be acute bronchitis? Do you think I need to see a doctor about it?

Seroflo inhaler sos is advised to the pt for wheezing.

I'm really concerned about my dad. He's 77 and has had this persistent cough for a few weeks now. He smoked for 40 years but quit back in 2017. However, he still chews tobacco. Could his history with smoking or his current use of tobacco be causing the cough, or is it something else we should be worried about? What should we do next?

I'm experiencing some shortness of breath, especially when I'm trying to go to sleep at night. It wakes me up and I find myself needing to wait to catch my breath before I can settle down again. It's been going on for about 3 years now and sometimes it's accompanied by bloating, burping, and farting. I notice the shortness of breath can also happen with panic or loud noises around me. I've tried different medicines over time but they only seem to help temporarily. I'm really curious to know what could be causing this and what might actually help. What do you think I should do?

take tablet pantop and start steam inhalation
