I'm really worried about my husbands health. His oxygen levels dropped below 90 a couple of days ago, and now it's been hovering between 93-95 for the past month. A month back, his RT-PCR test came out negative. Hes also pre-diabetic and has borderline cholesterol. Can you give me some advice on what we should do next?

I've been having this nagging cough for a few days now, and it's not really getting better. It feels like I'm trying really hard to bring something up, but nothing's coming out. Plus, there's this chest pain that kicks in every time I cough or even when I move my hands. Its making me a bit worried. What could be going on here, and should I be doing anything specific about it?

I've been dealing with a dry cough for the past two weeks and it's driving me crazy. I've already tried Clavam 625 and taking Budesal 1 mg twice daily, along with doing steam inhalations, but nothing is really helping. I'm feeling really tired and just want to know what else I can do to get better. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
