I've managed to quit smoking about a month ago, but now I'm experiencing some minor chest pain and a bit of a cough. Can you help me figure out how to deal with these symptoms?

I'm a bit confused about the Foracort 400 mdi. Once I've started taking it, do I need to keep using it continuously? I'm not really clear on how long I'm supposed to stick with this dosage. Can you help explain how I should be managing it?

Foracort 400 MDI is typically used for managing asthma or COPD symptoms. If your doctor has prescribed it, it's important to follow the prescribed frequency, which could be one or more doses per day depending on the condition. If you're unsure about the timing or dosage, I recommend consulting your doctor to clarify the specific schedule based on your symptoms.

I've got an oximeter at home because my grandma uses oxygen therapy, and I've noticed something about my grandpa's oxygen levels. When he's lying down or asleep, his oxygen level is usually around 92-95, mostly hovering between 93 and 94, but when he's sitting up, it goes up to 97 or 98. Is this something normal, or should I be worried? He's 70, and he doesn't have any breathing problems.

If oxygen saturation drops below 92.. oxygen is advised to the patient.Tab augmentin duo 625mg ,orally ,thrice daily for 5 days advised to the patient.Also syrup salbutamol 10ml thrice daily for 7 days is advised to the patient.Steam inhalation is also advised twice
