I'm really worried because ever since I had a viral infection, I've been dealing with this persistent cough and wheezing that just won't go away. It even flares up when I'm talking sometimes. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned about it being something more serious?

I'm curious about something. I've been randomly checking my SpO2 levels in the morning and at night. In the morning, they're usually between 97 to 99, but at night they go from 94 to 98. I'm not running a fever or anything. Do you think this is something I should be concerned about?

no it is not, donot worry it might due to temperature changes also
