I'm really worried about my husband. He's had this dry cough since last September, and it usually happens right after he finishes eating. It's like he keeps needing to clear his throat. Plus, whenever he's in cold weather, it gets worse. We've seen so many general physicians, but no one can seem to figure out what's going on. We did a chest X-ray and an HRCT in October of 2021, and everything came back clear. We also just checked his IGE levels, and they were at 1071. One doctor suggested he take montair fx for a month. Could you help me understand what might be causing this?

I'm really worried about my dad. He was discharged from the hospital about 10 days ago and he's still on 2 liters of oxygen because his left lung got pretty damaged from COVID. I'm wondering how long he might need to stay on oxygen. If we take it off for about 30 minutes, his saturation levels drop to 80-85, should we be concerned? How long do you think it'll take for him to recover?
he might be having chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, there's no particular time for him to quit oxygen. he might need it for years

I'm really worried about someone who's been dealing with COVID since mid-April and was admitted to the hospital because their oxygen levels were low. They spent about 25 days on HFNC support, and now they're stable but still need 2 liters of oxygen. My main concern is about the post-COVID complications, especially the fibrosis they're experiencing. Given that they're also an asthmatic patient, I'm really anxious because whenever the oxygen support is removed, their saturation level drops significantly to around 60 to 70. What could be causing this, and is there something more we should be doing to help with their recovery or improve their oxygen levels?
