I've been having trouble breathing for the past two weeks, even though my chest X-ray and CT scan came back normal. I don't have a cough, but I occasionally find it really hard to breathe. I also have a mild fever and feel very tired. Can you help me understand what might be going on?

I've been dealing with a persistent dry cough for about three months now. There's no cold or fever with it, but the coughing isn't constantjust enough that it's causing some pain in my throat. I'm not sure what's going on, and I'm a bit worried since it's been so long. Any advice on what might be causing this or steps I could take to feel better?

Persistent dry cough for more than 3 months can be due to various reasons such as postnasal drip, asthma, or acid reflux. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter cough suppressants like Dextromethorphan. You can also consider using throat lozenges containing Benzocaine to help with the throat pain. Additionally, staying hydrated and using a humidifier can also provide relief. If your symptoms persist, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm a 27-year-old female and I've been frequently checking my SpO2 levels because of shortness of breath, which I've had since August. Most times, it reads between 96-98, but sometimes it dips to 93 for a second and then goes back to 95 or 97. Is this something normal? I'm also getting sweaty and don't have a fever or anything, but I am kind of worried. Can you help me understand if these are typical readings and if I should be concerned about these symptoms?

Normal,nothing to worry ok.
