I've noticed that sometimes my sputum has a really bad smell in the morning, but I don't have a cold or feel sick in any other way. I'm generally healthy otherwise. I'm curious if this could be a sign of something more serious, like lung cancer? It doesn't happen all the time, just occasionally. Should I be worried?

View allI've been dealing with chest congestion and I'm on some medications like the Mox Budamate inhaler and levocetirizine. I'm curious, can I still have things like citrus fruits or lemon tea while I'm using Budamate?
It is generally safe to consume citrus fruits and lemon tea while using Budamate (budesonide inhaler). However, be mindful of acidity, as it could potentially irritate your throat, especially if you're already experiencing congestion. If you notice any discomfort, consider reducing intake or consulting your doctor for personalized advice.

My dad's oxygen levels are fluctuating between 94 and 97. It usually drops a bit after dinner and tends to be higher around noon. He's got asthma, so I'm wondering, would it help if he took steam and did breathing exercises like Anulom Vilom? Any suggestions on how we can improve his oxygen level?
Patient is advised deep breathing exercises,jogging,swimmingquit smoking,eating healthy diet,drinking plenty of water, can improve oxygen saturation.

I'm worried about my mom. She's been unwell since April 15th. Initially, she had fever, vomiting, and headache for two days. Now she's really weak and has a dry cough, mostly at night, making it hard for her to sleep. Even after taking antibiotics, the cough isn't going away, and medicines are making her feel nauseous. Her oxygen levels are fine, but I'm still concerned about the ongoing cough and sleepless nights. What could be causing this, and what should we do next?
