I'm a 63-year-old woman and I've been dealing with breathing problems for the past ten years. I'm currently using medications like deriphyllin 150, essiflo puff, combimist puff, asthalin inhaler, and otrivin on a daily basis. I've also got a dust mite allergy. Is it alright for me to take all of these every day?

I'm a bit worried because it's been a month since I had COVID, and now I'm experiencing breathing issues. Its strange because when I tested positive, I didn't have any breathing problems at all. Do you know why this might be happening now?

there might be chest congestion, if it is too much difficulty of breathing do chest xray

My dad just turned 50, and even though he's fully vaccinated, he tested positive for COVID yesterday. His oxygen levels are reading 93-94, and since he has asthma, Im worried. Is it normal for his oxygen levels to be like this? Could it mean there's an infection in his lungs? Would doing some breathing exercises help him get his SpO2 levels back up?
