Question 1

I've been dealing with a dry cough for the past week and I'm starting to worry it might be because of my smoking habit. Is this kind of cough something I should be concerned about, or is it a common reaction for smokers? What should I do to ease the cough, and should I be thinking about quitting smoking entirely?

Accepted Answer

take tablet tusq for 5 days, twice a day

Question 2

I'm really concerned about my six-year-old daughter's wheezing cough. She's had it for the past year, and we've been using a Sereflo inhaler as advised by our pulmonologist. The dosage has been gradually reduced, and now she's only taking one puff at night. It seemed to be working better, but these last three days have been rough with her experiencing continuous coughing as well as vomiting. We tried giving her a Levolin inhaler like the doctor said, but I'm not sure what's suddenly causing this flare-up. We're still following the six-month treatment plan with the inhaler. What could be the reason for this, and how can we help her get better permanently?

Accepted Answer

exposure to allergens

Question 3

I'm really worried about my dad's oximeter readings. It first shows SpO2 levels at 96, then drops to 95, 94, and even goes further down to 93 and 92. This fluctuation between increasing and decreasing is concerning. Given that normal SpO2 levels are usually between 95-100, I'm not sure what to make of it. Should I be worried about those dips to 92 and 93? What should I do?
