I've been having this cough with sputum mostly at night and not so much during the day. There's no fever, weight loss, vomiting, or anything else like that. Should I be concerned, or is this something that might just go away on its own?

I'm a 26-year-old from Srinagar dealing with obstructive sleep apnea for the past five years. I was negligent at first and didn't take the condition seriously, but when things worsened, I started using a CPAP machine, which has helped. The issue is that I often feel embarrassed when traveling because I have to bring the machine with me. I'm wondering, is CPAP the only treatment option available? Can sleep apnea be reversed? I'd appreciate any guidance you can provide.

I'm having wheezing for the past couple of days, mostly at night and not so much during the day. My doctor told me to use one puff at night an hour before I go to sleep. I'm wondering if I should gargle my throat right after using the inhaler, or if there's anything else I should be doing. Also, if I stop using the inhaler after 15 days, could the wheezing come back?

Yes ,gargling is advised to the patient inorder to prevent fungal infection.
