I've been dealing with a dry cough for the past couple of weeks and it's really starting to worry me. Initially, I had a viral fever about three weeks ago and took some medication which seemed to work, but this cough just won't go away. I tried using Tasq DX syrup for a week but it didn't help, so I switched to Green linctus BM syrup for another week and it hasn't gotten better in fact, it seems to be getting worse. Could you please help me figure out what's going on and what I should do next?

View allI'm really worried about my dad's oximeter readings. It first shows SpO2 levels at 96, then drops to 95, 94, and even goes further down to 93 and 92. This fluctuation between increasing and decreasing is concerning. Given that normal SpO2 levels are usually between 95-100, I'm not sure what to make of it. Should I be worried about those dips to 92 and 93? What should I do?
No need to worry,keep a close observation,if it becomes less than 89 ,visit Physician for evaluation for appropriate management

I'm really worried because I tested positive for COVID-19 on May 4th, but luckily I had no symptoms and stayed in home isolation without needing steroids or oxygen. I've been experiencing some mild fatigue and sometimes a bit of a cough, but nothing serious, and I had congestion for just a couple of days. I've been taking Montekulsta for 10 days now. My breathing seems fine, but whenever I do steam inhalation, I notice white phlegm with black streaks in it. There's no phlegm if I skip the steam. Ive been like this for two days and my sugar levels after meals are around 158. Should I be concerned about black fungus infection and go for any specific tests to rule it out?
Tab augmentin duo 625mg ,orally ,thrice daily for 5 days advised to the patient.Also syrup salbutamol 10ml thrice daily for 7 days is advised to the patient.Steam inhalation is also advised twice

I've been dealing with a persistent dry cough for about three months now. There's no cold or fever with it, but the coughing isn't constantjust enough that it's causing some pain in my throat. I'm not sure what's going on, and I'm a bit worried since it's been so long. Any advice on what might be causing this or steps I could take to feel better?
Persistent dry cough for more than 3 months can be due to various reasons such as postnasal drip, asthma, or acid reflux. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter cough suppressants like Dextromethorphan. You can also consider using throat lozenges containing Benzocaine to help with the throat pain. Additionally, staying hydrated and using a humidifier can also provide relief. If your symptoms persist, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
