I've been having frequent asthma attacks and it seems like my current meds, Foracort rotacaps and Levolin, aren't really doing the trick. There's no fever or sneezing, and my PFT results show moderate obstruction. I'm not a smoker either. I've already talked to a bunch of pulmonologists, but I'm still struggling. What would you recommend for better treatment?

I've been dealing with this annoying issue for quite a while now. Whenever I go to bed and try to fall asleep, my throat starts itching and I begin coughing. It's definitely a dry cough. What's weird is that as soon as I stop trying to sleep, the coughing just goes away. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

Expectations After Medication Insertion* 1. *Bleeding*: You can expect bleeding to start within 2-7 days after the medication insertion. However, this timeframe may vary. 2. *Expulsion of Retained Products*: The retained products (measuring 9cc) may be expelled during the first menstrual cycle, but it's not guaranteed. *Factors Influencing Expulsion* 1. *Size of Retained Products*: The size of the retained products (9cc) is relatively small, which increases the likelihood of natural expulsion. 2. *Effectiveness of Medication*: The medication inserted by your doctor is designed to help expel the retained products. Its effectiveness may influence the timing and success of expulsion. *Monitoring and Follow-up* 1. *Track Your Symptoms*: Keep a record of your bleeding, cramping, and any other symptoms. 2. *Follow-up Appointment*: Schedule a follow-up appointment with your doctor to assess the progress and determine if further intervention is needed.

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?
