I'm from Delhi and I've been experiencing some issues with my breathing. My SpO2 level sometimes drops to 93 and then slowly returns to 97 after several hours. I also have a little cough. My doctor asked me to get an x-ray, and I've attached it here. Can you look at my x-ray and tell me if there's anything concerning about my lungs?

I'm a bit worried because I had a viral and throat infection two weeks ago, and while most symptoms have gone, I still have a cough with brown and yellow phlegm for about 1.5 weeks now. Should I get a chest X-ray to check if everything's normal, or should I be looking into a TB test?

I've been dealing with breathlessness and had a fever back in 2016. The doctor put me on seroflo 250 capsules for whenever I get breathless. Luckily, it's only happened once a year in the winters, and I found out its because of cold air or dust. I've been doing okay for about 2 years now without any problems. Do you think I should be worried about this happening again in the future? Should I still keep any medications handy just in case?

carry medication and take when symptoms exacerbated

My dad and husband both tested positive for COVID and they had a fever last week. The fever's gone now, but they're both coughing now and then, especially when talking, laughing, and sometimes even when sleeping. They're not having any chest pain or breathing issues, so I'm wondering if steam inhalation would help? Also, are there any warning signs we should be on the lookout for?

Salbutamol syrup 10 ml thrice daily for 7 days is advised to the patient. The signs include difficulty reathing,fever,loss of taste,chills,cough ,headache ,bluish discolouration of lips and face etc.
