View allI'm really worried about my father. About ten days ago, he had a fever, but thankfully, it's been gone for the last five days. However, his SpO2 levels are really concerningthey drop to around 52-55 when he's sleeping and are only 85-92 while he's awake, no matter whether it's day or night. He's been snoring for years now. He weighs about 90 kg. His HRCT done on May 7th showed a score of 1125. He doesn't have any other symptoms like coughing, headache, body pain, or loss of taste or smell. Currently, he's taking Megmacer 1gm, Pdsolon 40, Alcorab 20, and Megclid. What should I do?
I recommend continuing with these medications. Additionally, to help improve his breathing and oxygen levels, I suggest adding a bronchodilator like Seroflo inhaler twice a day and a CPAP machine for his snoring and sleep apnea. It would also be beneficial for him to consult with a pulmonologist for further evaluation and management of his respiratory issues. Regular monitoring of his Spo2 levels and follow-up with healthcare provider is essential to ensure his condition improves.

I'm dealing with a sore throat and a lot of coughing. Can you tell me what medicine would be best to use for nebulization in this situation? I'm a bit worried and want to make sure I'm using the right treatment.
For throat pain and severe coughing, nebulization with **levosalbutamol or budesonide** (as advised by a doctor) can help reduce inflammation and ease breathing. Use warm salt water gargles for throat relief and stay hydrated. Consult a doctor for proper dosage.

I've been dealing with bronchitis for a few months now, and before that, I was coughing up some thick phlegm. My doctor gave me some meds, but I'm kind of worried and thinking about getting a lung function test just to be safe. Can you suggest any tests that would check lung capacity and function? What are the main tests I should consider for this? Would really appreciate your guidance.
