I've been having this wheezing sound when I breathe for about a week now. I went to the doctor and got some medicine, but the problem hasn't gone away. Do you think I should be worried? Could there be something the doctor missed, or might there be another treatment I should try?

I'm really worried about him. He recently got over COVID but now has this lung infection. His HCRT was at 1525 back in May, but when he got out of the hospital at the end of the month, it was down to 1125. His other tests like CRP and D-dimer seem normal, but he's been having some issues. He gets constipated, and in the mornings, he starts coughing a lot which gets better after he freshens up and burps. Similar thing happens after dinner; he coughs until he belches and then it's like back to normal. He keeps feeling like there's something stuck in his neck. Plus, he's type 2 diabetic, which concerns me. Can you suggest some medication or treatment that might help him?

I'm covid positive and my SPO2 is around 93-94. When I do lung exercises, it goes up to 96-97, but then it drops back to 93-94. It's my 8th day in quarantine. Do you think it's okay for my SPO2 to be at this level, or should I consider going to the hospital?
It is generally recommended to seek medical attention if your SPO2 levels drop below 94%. Since your levels are fluctuating between 93-94 and going up to 96-97 with lung exercises, it indicates that your lungs are able to compensate to some extent. However, it is important to monitor your oxygen levels closely. I recommend you to continue with the lung exercises and monitor your SPO2 levels regularly. If your levels consistently drop below 94% without improvement, it would be advisable to seek medical attention for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can consider taking medications like Dexamethasone (6mg once daily) and Remdesivir (200mg on day 1, followed by 100mg once daily for 4-9 days) under medical supervision to help manage your COVID-19 symptoms.
