My dad has been dealing with COPD and asthma for the past decade, and now hes got to use oxygen at home around the clock. Were using a cylinder with the supply kept at point 1, but Im wondering if switching to an oxygen concentrator would be a good idea. Would an oxygen concentrator be enough for his needs, or should we stick with the cylinder?

View allI'm really worried because this morning, while I was brushing my teeth, I coughed really hard and noticed blood in my spit. It looked like clotted blood, thick and red. And the more I coughed, the more blood came up, which wasnt happening yesterday. I had my last meal at midnight because of work. Could you help me figure out why Im seeing blood when I cough in the morning?
That could be due to trauma while brushing.check if its happening the next day also,if it happens so,visit ENT doctor for appropriate management

I've been dealing with this cough for almost two weeks now. Initially, it was dry, but in the last three days, it's turned into a wet cough, and I'm able to spit it out. I'm feeling constantly tired and really don't have the energy to get things done. Mornings are especially tough because I can't seem to get up. On top of that, I've been having severe headaches all day long. I'm kind of worried about what's going on. Could you give me some advice on what's happening and what I should do?
take syrup ascoril twice a day for 5 days

I'm having some trouble breathing, and I got my blood test results back showing my eosinophils are at 7.3. I had a chest X-ray done too, but it came back normal. Could the eosinophil levels be related to my breathing issues even though the X-ray didn't show anything? What does this mean for my health?
Your eosinophil count of 7.3% indicates a high level, which could be related to allergies, asthma, or parasitic infections. Since your chest X-ray is normal, it is less likely to be a serious lung issue. I recommend taking a short course of an antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily to help with any allergic reactions causing your breathing trouble. Additionally, you can use an inhaler like Salbutamol 100mcg for quick relief if needed. If symptoms persist, follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
