I've been dealing with COPD and I'm currently on MontekAB, Esiflo250, and Tiate inhaler. I tested negative for COVID on June 5th, but lately I've had a runny nose and sneezing a lot. After taking Sinarest three times a day, the sneezing stopped, but then I started coughing. It feels like there's something stuck in my chest and my oxygen level has dropped to 90. I'm really worried and could use some advice. What should I do next?
