I'm really worried about my mom. She's 64 and had Covid pneumonia back in December 2020. She was on oxygen back then and thankfully recovered. Her breathing seems okay now, but her oxygen levels are always between 94 to 93 when she's awake, and they drop to around 80 to 90 when she's sleeping. We did a chest x-ray two months later, and it showed something called prominent bronchovascular markings of both lung fields. Can you help me understand what that means? Is this something serious or normal? Does she need any treatment for this?

I'm experiencing something a little odd with my breathing. Most of the time, I can breathe normally, but whenever I try to take a really deep breath, it feels a bit difficult to fully inhale. It's not constant, only happens sometimes, but it's got me a bit worried. Is this something I should be concerned about? Any ideas on what might be causing it?

it might be due to anxiety, reduce stress

My wife is in her last week of the second trimester and she's been really under the weather with a bad cold and fever over the past couple of days. Initially, she was taking Calpol 650mg twice a day, Augmentin 625 three times a day, Asthakind DX syrup three times a day, and Teczine once a day. Thankfully, the fever's gone now, but the cold has gotten worse, and our physician thinks it might be pneumonia, so he sent us to a pulmonologist. Today, the pulmonologist prescribed Mox 500mg twice a day, Allegra M once a day, Calpol 500mg twice a day, and AB Phylline capsules twice a day. I'm really concerned and wondering if it's safe for her to take AB Phylline and Allegra M during pregnancy. Could you shed some light on this for us?

ab phylline is not safe during pregnancy, but allegra is safe
