My grandfather is in the ICU right now and I'm really worried because the display is showing he has low oxygen supply. Can a doctor explain what's happening and what this might mean for his condition?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Low oxygen supply in a critical condition like ICU can be concerning. It is important to address this issue promptly. One common medication used to increase oxygen supply is Oxygen Therapy. This involves administering oxygen through a mask or nasal prongs at a specific flow rate prescribed by the healthcare provider. The dosage and duration of oxygen therapy will be determined by the medical team based on your grandfather's condition. It is crucial to follow their instructions closely to ensure optimal oxygen delivery to his body tissues.

View allI'm experiencing breathing problems for quite a while now, and I've been taking Montek LC tablets. Could you tell me if that's a good idea or if there's something else I should be doing? I really need some guidance on this.
Taking Montek LC (Montelukast and Levocetirizine) can help manage allergies and breathing issues caused by conditions like allergic rhinitis or mild asthma. However, long-term breathing problems should be evaluated by a doctor to rule out underlying conditions like asthma, COPD, or other respiratory disorders. Please consult a specialist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I'm 35 and I've been having this weird pain between my lungs and rib cage on the right side. There's this indentation under my right rib where the bone kind of sticks out, and now the deepest part on the left is starting to hurt too. It gets really bad when I cough, sneeze, or jump on a trampoline. This all started after I had a really bad lung cold a while ago, and even though it's been almost 10 years, I still get mucus every day and the cold feels like it's never completely gone. What could be going on with these symptoms?

I've had TB and then caught COVID, and now I'm having chest pain and trouble breathing again. I'm wondering if I should get an HRCT or an MRI of my chest to check my lungs. I've had a few HRCTs before, but they have radiation, which worries me. Can you tell me which option might be better?
hrct is best
