I've been dealing with this persistent cough coming from deep in my lungs for 12 minutes straight, around 56 times a day. There's no fever, and it's not a wet cough. I went to a physician who ran a chest X-ray, blood reports, and urine test, but everything came back normal. They suggested I take Pantoprazole and Domperidone, Doxycycline, Diethylcarbamazine (100mg Hetrazan), and Levocetirizine with Montelukast (Montecope) for 5 days. After that, the doctor told me to keep going with Hetrazan and Montecope for another 10 days. Should I be concerned about something underlying that wasn't picked up in the tests? Is there anything else I should consider doing or asking about?

View allI'm really worried about my mom's oxygen levels. It's been a while since she was discharged after having COVID and bilateral pneumonia. She's been on quite a few medications, including the steroids Medrol and dexamethasone, as prescribed, and others like Perfenix and Cardace protect. The thing is, her oxygen saturation stays around 88-92% when she's resting, which I think is okay. But whenever she gets up to walk or just goes to the washroom, it drops to 75% and then slowly comes back up to about 90%. With the recent reports showing her CRP at 21 and ESR at 37, I'm anxious to know when her oxygen levels might stabilize and stay up, even when she's more active. Could you help me understand why this happens and what we might expect moving forward?

I'm dealing with some breathing issues, like shortness of breath, and it's been more than 10 years. I've gone to various doctors, and they said it's allergies. So, I went to see a pulmonologist. They suggested I do FENO and PFT tests. My FENO result came back as 19 ppb, and PFT was normal. They gave me a Foracart 200 inhaler and some meds for allergies, but it's been five days and I haven't noticed a difference. Should I be worried, or could this take more time? What should I do next?
