I'm really worried about some symptoms I've been having. I've had a productive cough and breathing issues for about a month. The doctor told me it was bronchitis and gave me medication like LezineM and Levoflox, which helped a lot, but now that I'm done with the treatment, the breathing issues are creeping back a bit. Also, I've noticed the lower part of my throat moves in and out when I breathe. My chest X-ray and blood work came back normal, and while I'm not coughing really hard, there's still a bit of it. Could these be signs of lung cancer?

What should a person's oxygen saturation level be in the morning right after waking up? My dad's SPO2 is generally above 92 throughout the day, but it seems to dip to around 87 in the morning. Is this something normal, or should I be concerned?
Its not normal,check his pulmonary functions,it might be falling even more during night soo,visit Pulmonologist for evaluation and follow up.

I'm dealing with this persistent dry cough that's just not going away, and it's been happening every couple of months. I've seen a few doctors, and none of the medicines they suggested have relieved it. They've mentioned it might be bronchitis, but I'm not so sure anymore since nothing seems to be helping. I've tried antibiotics, various syrups like Ascoril and Brozodex, inhalers like Seretide 250 and Foracort, and tablets like LCZ Plus and Gramocef 200 mg, but it's like I'm not making any progress. There's no sputum coming out, and it's causing a lot of discomfort in my chest. It's gotten to the point where I'm not even sleeping well at night. I'm really worried and could use some guidance on what else I might try. Any advice?
Considering your persistent dry cough and lack of relief from various medications, it's essential to revisit your diagnosis and treatment plan; consult a pulmonologist or a specialist to rule out underlying conditions like asthma, chronic bronchitis, or even gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and consider further investigations like a chest X-ray, spirometry, or an acid reflux test to determine the underlying cause and develop an effective treatment plan.
