I've been having some trouble lately and really need some advice. I'm 32 and have asthma, so I regularly use an inhaler. For the past few days, I've had a bad cough and cold. It feels like there's phlegm stuck in my chest, but no matter how much I cough, it won't come out. I tried taking Azithromycin, but it didn't help. Can you suggest any medicines that might work better? Also, I've been getting these sudden pains in my neck. I'm currently on pregabalin, nortriptyline, and myospas for it. Any ideas on what's going on or how I can feel better?

View allI've smoked 43 cigarettes over the last 8 months and I've stopped now, but I'm really worried. How much harm could that have done to my health? Am I safe, or should I be concerned about any potential diseases? I'd really appreciate some advice on this.

I'm really concerned about something and I was hoping to get some advice. I've been inhaling steam directly from the stove for the last 45 days, about three times a day. Initially, doctors said steam wouldn't cause harm, but now my health is declining. I've even damaged my lungs, and it's been really painful. Could the steam be the reason? I feel like it's affecting me a lot and I'm worried. What should I do?

I'm covid positive and my SPO2 is around 93-94. When I do lung exercises, it goes up to 96-97, but then it drops back to 93-94. It's my 8th day in quarantine. Do you think it's okay for my SPO2 to be at this level, or should I consider going to the hospital?
It is generally recommended to seek medical attention if your SPO2 levels drop below 94%. Since your levels are fluctuating between 93-94 and going up to 96-97 with lung exercises, it indicates that your lungs are able to compensate to some extent. However, it is important to monitor your oxygen levels closely. I recommend you to continue with the lung exercises and monitor your SPO2 levels regularly. If your levels consistently drop below 94% without improvement, it would be advisable to seek medical attention for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can consider taking medications like Dexamethasone (6mg once daily) and Remdesivir (200mg on day 1, followed by 100mg once daily for 4-9 days) under medical supervision to help manage your COVID-19 symptoms.
