I've been in the hospital for Covid back in Aug 2020 due to breathing issues. My oxygen levels are now at 93 with a normal pulse rate, but if I climb stairs or do any kind of activity, my oxygen level drops to 79 and my pulse rate shoots up from 128 to 135. I'm regularly doing breathing exercises and using a spirometer, drinking lots of fluids, and sleeping in a prone position. I'm currently on Nintena 100, Doxolin 400, Mucinac 600, Rantac 150, Azithral 250, and Ecospain 75. Can you suggest how I can increase my oxygen levels?

View allI'm having some issues with wheezing here in Bangalore. My doctor suggested I take Mon Deslor at night to help. But I'm wondering, if during the day I start feeling uncomfortable because of the wheezing, can I take another dose of Mon Deslor to help with that? I'm also using a puff, so is it okay to combine all this? Just trying to manage this wheezing better.
Mon Deslor is typically taken as prescribed, usually once daily. If you're experiencing wheezing during the day, its better to rely on your prescribed inhaler (puff) for quick relief rather than taking an extra dose of Mon Deslor. If symptoms persist, consult your doctor to adjust your treatment plan.

I'm trying to figure out if I should be worried about the side effects I'm experiencing. I started using seriflo250 as my pulmonologist prescribed due to some bronchi problems. I had a dry cough before, but now Im coughing more with sputum, and I suddenly got a runny nose, mild headache, and a fever around 100F. I used to smoke for about three years too. Is this normal, or is this something I should be concerned about?
It sounds like the medication is starting to open up your airways, which can sometimes lead to increased coughing and mucus production as your lungs begin to clear. However, the fever, headache, and worsening symptoms might indicate an infection or a reaction. It's important to contact your pulmonologist to discuss these new symptoms, especially considering your smoking history.
