I'm really worried because my oxygen level has been fluctuating between 88 and 90 for the past three days. I'm 52 years old and weigh 95 kg, and my blood test came back normal. However, my CRP level was 35 mgL on April 13 and then went down to 8.60 mgL by April 27. What should I do about this situation?

My dad's 72 and already has some heart issues. Recently, he's been dealing with fluid retention in his lungs, and even though he's on all the necessary medications and seeing a cardiologist, we're not seeing much improvement. He can't sleep well, isn't eating much, and seems to be getting weaker. We're really worried. Do you think we should consult a pulmonologist to help with his breathing, or is there something else we should be looking into to help him feel better?

I've been diagnosed with bronchitis, and I'm really struggling with my breathing and I have this persistent tightness in my chest. I've already tested negative for COVID, which is a relief, but I'm worried because none of the medicines or inhalers I've tried seem to be making any difference. What else can I do to ease these symptoms and breathe more comfortably?

take steam inhalation and tablet amoxyclav
