I'm really concerned because for the past 15 days, it feels like I'm not getting enough oxygen when I'm breathing deeply. I've also been experiencing nausea. What could be causing this?

I tested positive for COVID last year and now for the past two weeks, I've been dealing with a cough and trouble breathing, though there's nothing else going on. I've been using an oximeter, and my SPo2 levels are hovering between 92 to 94. I've been doing steam inhalations and gargling regularly which has helped a bit over the last few days. However, the cough is still bothering me, especially at night when I'm trying to sleep. Sitting up feels a bit better, but as soon as I lie down, the coughing starts and I just can't sleep. What could be causing this and is there anything else I can try to reduce the coughing and get some rest?

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.
