I've been noticing that my SPO2 level is above 95, which I thought was supposed to be okay, but I'm still experiencing some breathlessness today. Should I be worried about this or is it normal to feel this way sometimes?

I'm dealing with a cough that's just not going away after celebrating Holi. It's been a while now and I'm getting worried. Is there something I should be doing differently or could there be an underlying issue that's causing this?

It sounds like the dust and colors from Holi may have irritated your airways, leading to a persistent cough. I recommend seeing a doctor to rule out any underlying infection or allergies and to get appropriate treatment, as this kind of cough can sometimes last longer if not addressed properly.

I've been dealing with this morning cold that lasts for 12 hours every day for about a year now. Initially, I thought it was just a dust allergy, but it's been getting worse. Could it be something else? What should I do?

You may be experiencing allergic rhinitis. I recommend trying an antihistamine such as Cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) 10mg once daily in the morning to help alleviate your symptoms. Additionally, using a nasal corticosteroid spray like Fluticasone (brand name Flonase) 1-2 sprays in each nostril daily can also be beneficial in reducing nasal congestion and inflammation. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it would be advisable to consult with an allergist for further evaluation and management.
