My wife has been dealing with Bronchitis, and it's been tough for her, especially with those long, sleepless nights from all the coughing. I'm not quite sure, but I suspect it's the acute type. I really want to get it completely sorted out. Could you help us figure out what the best steps might be?

Question

Patient has been 50 days post-COVID now. About two weeks ago, their X-ray came back normal. Is 50 days enough for lung fibrosis to develop? Also, their sp02 today is fluctuating around 96-98 with the oximeter held for 5 minutes. What should I be concerned about?

Question

I'm really struggling with my breathing lately. I've got this constant congestion in my chest, and it's there all day long. It's so bad that even yawning is tough. When I lie down at night, I feel like I'm choking and can't sleep. I saw a pulmonologist who thought it might be an allergy, and I've been taking the meds he gave me, but nothing's changing. Do you have any advice on what I could try next?

Question

I'm experiencing some concerning symptoms after being prescribed certain medicines for my breathing issues and high IGE levels. I've been taking Omnacortil, starting at 40 mg and tapering down, but after finishing the 30 mg dose yesterday, I decided not to take it today because I've been having blurred vision, confusion, and feeling really weak. I've also stopped taking Histafree M two days ago, and I finished my course of L Cin 500. The only thing I'm still taking is Zincovit. Could these symptoms be caused by the medication, or is there something else going on? I'm really worried and would love some advice.
