I'm thinking about getting an oximeter to keep track of my blood oxygen levels, but I'm not sure which one to go for. Can you give me some advice on choosing the right oximeter? What should I be looking for to make sure it's accurate and reliable?

I'm worried about my situation. I had bronchitis three years ago and have been using an inhaled corticosteroid and fexofenadine regularly since then. But even with that, my doctor can still hear rhonchi through the stethoscope. Is there any way to completely get rid of the inflammation in my bronchi and stop the rhonchi sounds? Its even worse if I stop using the inhaler. What can I do?

you should not suddenly stop the inhaler, you should reduce its usage gradually. start steam inhalation
