Question 1

I'm about seven weeks pregnant and I've been having this on and off wheezing and coughing at night for the past few weeks. Lately, it's been happening more often and it's really messing with my sleep. Sometimes I even struggle to breathe. I saw a physician who prescribed me Reswas, Cetrizine, and Drez gargle, but I've been on them for three days now, and it's not helping. What's going on? Should I be worried?

syrup dextromethorphan

Question 2

I've had this cough for about six months now. I've been taking Sigcet M, Azithromycin, and Ceftriaxone, and also using cough syrup. I even checked my sputum three times, and it was negative each time. I did a CBNAAT test, and that was negative too. What should I do next? I'm really worried and looking for some advice.

Question 3

I'm a 55-year-old woman and my SPO2 level is usually above 95, but I've been having these on-and-off episodes of breathlessness. It's a bit unsettling. I even got a chest X-ray, and it came back normal. Should I be concerned about this?

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.
