I'm really worried about my father's CO2 level, which is at 85 in his blood. He's currently in the ICU at IGIMS Patna. Can anyone advise on how we might be able to lower it? Is it possible to reduce his CO2 level while he's there?

Question

I'm a bit worried because I've been dealing with a dry cough for about six months now. I did take a full course of an antibiotic syrup after consulting with my doctor, but the cough just keeps coming back. Interestingly, I noticed that when I traveled to Varanasi for a week, I didnt cough at all, but as soon as I got back to Panvel, the coughing started up again. Could this be related to something environmental or do you think theres another issue at play?
