I'm a 20-year-old student and I've been dealing with bronchitis for the past 10 years. Every April, I struggle with breathlessness and a lot of mucus in my chest, it gets pretty congested. I don't eat anything that would increase mucus, just stick to simple homemade foods, but it keeps happening. I use a nebulizer to help out, but I'm worried if this is something I'm going to have to deal with for life. Do you know if there's any way to cure this or make it better?

I'm having some trouble with my breathing and was wondering if it's okay to use a Duolin inhaler. Are there any home remedies you could suggest for a slight breathing issue?

Duolin inhaler is typically prescribed for conditions like asthma or COPD, and should only be used under a doctor's guidance. For mild breathing problems, you can try inhaling steam, staying hydrated, and using a humidifier. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, it's best to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.

I'm really worried about my mom's oxygen levels. It's been a while since she was discharged after having COVID and bilateral pneumonia. She's been on quite a few medications, including the steroids Medrol and dexamethasone, as prescribed, and others like Perfenix and Cardace protect. The thing is, her oxygen saturation stays around 88-92% when she's resting, which I think is okay. But whenever she gets up to walk or just goes to the washroom, it drops to 75% and then slowly comes back up to about 90%. With the recent reports showing her CRP at 21 and ESR at 37, I'm anxious to know when her oxygen levels might stabilize and stay up, even when she's more active. Could you help me understand why this happens and what we might expect moving forward?
