I'm wondering if it's safe to use a nebulizer at home, especially with the ongoing COVID situation making hospital visits risky. Could you recommend a good brand and let me know what medication should be used with it?

I've had this dry cough for a couple of weeks now, and it just seems to hang around. I don't have a cold or anything, but there's this constant feeling of something in my throat, almost like there's phlegm I can't clear. It's like my nose is dripping into my throat, which is super annoying. I had a Blood Picture test done recently, and I noticed the monocyte level is really low. Could that be causing this cough, or are they unrelated? Just trying to figure out what might be going on here.

I'm really concerned about this shortness of breath I've been having for the past 10 days. My oxygen saturation is between 97 and 98, but I don't feel it when I'm walking quickly and I sleep just fine. I had mild COVID symptoms back in October 2020, and the shortness of breath was there until December, but everything's been alright for the past 3.5 months. I even got a CT scan through my pulmonologist, and everything seemed okay. But what's weird is if my mind is busy, I don't notice it, and if I try to take a deep breath on purpose, I just can't. What might be going on?

it might be due to anxiety

I've been experiencing a dry cough for a couple of weeks now and just recently started noticing thick blood streaks in my sputum when I clear my throat in the morning. I'm a bit worried since I've been smoking for about three years, although I stopped when this started happening. Should I be concerned about this?

U should consult ENT for proper checkup
