I'm really concerned because I've been dealing with a persistent cough for the past two months. I've tried different treatments allopathic, ayurvedic, and homeopathic, but nothing seems to provide relief. It gets particularly bad whenever I'm near an air conditioner. Could you help me understand what's going on or suggest anything else I should try?

I'm checking my oxymeter, and it's showing a reading of 97. I'm a bit worried though because I read somewhere that oxymeters also pick up carboxyhemoglobin, so the real oxygen level might actually be below 90, maybe even 80. I've been feeling restless and anxious about this. I have some breathing issues, like I get tired when just eating or talking. Plus, when I wake up, I can really feel the air passing through my nose and throat, but my throat feels swollen. I'm on an Ayurvedic treatment for acidity for the past two months since I tried allopathy for one and a half months before, but it didn't work, and the issue keeps coming back. I also experience body pain and weakness. I had a chest X-ray, CBC, sugar test, abdomen sonography, and kidney function test about 15-20 days ago, and everything was normal. So, is it alright to rely on the oxymeter reading in my situation?
yes if its working properly

I've been dealing with this issue where every morning I cough up thick, dark phlegm and it's such a struggle. I've noticed it seems to be coming from behind my uvula. This has been going on for about eight months now and I'm not taking any medication. Should I be worried or is there something I can do?
I dont think you have any issue or you need any treatment.relax.. you can gargle with saline water at the most. If you dont have persistent cough which stays whole day or any fever sneezingcold.. nothing to be done
