I've been experiencing some breathing problems and chest pain, and sometimes I have a blocked nose too which makes it hard to breathe. Also, I've started having some back pain. I'm a bit worried about these symptoms and wondering if they could be connected. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

I've been dealing with winter asthma for about 6 years now, and my doctor previously had me on romilast 10 and theoasthalin tablets for 5 winters straight, but they come with a bunch of side effects. Another doctor suggested inhalers might be better than oral meds, so this year I've switched to using a regular asthalin inhaler. However, it's not really cutting it; even after 4 sprays, the relief only lasts for about 4 to 5 hours. It's still a bit cold here at night in Kolkata, so the asthma is persistent. Could you recommend a better inhaler? Would Seroflo 250 be a good option?

take foracort inhaler twice a day for 5 days

I was diagnosed with TB after they found a left pleural effusion and completed a 6-month treatment, using Acurit4 for 2 months and Acurit3 for the other 4 months. Now everything's good and I don't have any symptoms. I'm wondering, is it safe for me to get the COVID vaccine now? Is there a specific one I should be going for, like Covishield or Covaxin?

My dad just turned 50, and even though he's fully vaccinated, he tested positive for COVID yesterday. His oxygen levels are reading 93-94, and since he has asthma, Im worried. Is it normal for his oxygen levels to be like this? Could it mean there's an infection in his lungs? Would doing some breathing exercises help him get his SpO2 levels back up?
