I've been dealing with a dry cough for about a week now but haven't noticed any other cold symptoms. I'm breastfeeding my 3-month-old baby. What kind of medication would be safe for me to take?

I've been feeling a bit under the weather with a sore throat and cold symptoms over the past few days. I noticed my oxygen levels dropped from 99 to 95, which got me worried. So I went ahead and got the rt pcr and chest CT scans done. Thankfully, the Covid test came back negative twice and my HRCT thorax looks normal. One odd thing I've picked up is that I have nasal congestion, but my oxygen levels seem to go back to normal when I breathe through my mouth. Is this something I should be concerned about?

Continue Azeflo nasal spray 7ml sos for nasal allergy for the patient.

I'm really struggling with a bad cold and throat pain for the last week. I tried taking cetirizine but it hasn't helped at all. I really need to get better quickly. Can you suggest anything that might work? Honestly, I'm getting a bit worried.
