I've been dealing with a wheezing cough and shortness of breath for two months. I was on continuous treatment during the first month, but then I stopped. Because the cough got really bad again, I started taking wheezing medicines for the past five days, including Budamate 400 and Airz FF inhalers, along with Levot M and Nayapred just for five days. Initially, the cough and wheezing eased up on the first day of the medication. But now, after 4 to 5 days, even though I'm still taking the meds, the cough sometimes returns and lasts for a while. Can you help me figure out why this might be happening? Should I consider visiting the doctor again?

I'm really worried because I noticed something odd with the SpO2 levels after running. Normally, it's between 93 and 99, but right after running, it dropped to 80 before quickly going back to 88, and then 90. This person isnt very active normally. Should I be concerned about this sudden change?

yes it is , consult your nearby pulmonologist

I'm concerned about my dad; he had fever and chills yesterday, and his oxygen level was at 94. He's 58 years old. Is a 94 oxygen level considered normal for him?

An oxygen level of 94% is slightly below normal but not immediately concerning. Since your dad has fever and chills, it's important to monitor his oxygen levels and consult a doctor if they drop further or if his symptoms worsen. Prompt evaluation is key, especially given his age.
