Is it true that 90% of our lungs can get damaged just from carbon molecules without them even doing anything? I'm kind of worried about what this means for overall lung health and how we can protect ourselves from this damage. Any advice on how we can prevent this or keep our lungs in better shape?

Yes ,Carbon monoxide can cause lung damage by preventing oxygen from reaching the blood-stream.

I've been non-stop coughing for three days now and the longest I can go without coughing is just a minute or two. There's a lot of phlegm and it's painful when I take deep breaths. I've already tried using my rescue inhaler and the nebulizer, but I'm still coughing a lot and wheezing. What could be going on, and what else can I do?

continue nebulization and take cough syrup ascoril twice a day
