I've been hearing mixed things about steaming and its effectiveness for people affected by corona. Some sources like blogs and newspapers say it doesn't help at all, while debates on news channels and YouTube videos also suggest it's not beneficial. I'm really confused and concerned. Could you shed some light on whether steaming is actually useful for someone dealing with corona?

Whats the best way to measure SpO2 for someone with COVID? I'm getting different readings on the oximeter. Sometimes it's 95 or 96, but then a minute later it can be 98. When I wake up, it drops to 95 or 97, but if I'm sitting properly, it goes up to 98 or 99. I'm really confused about how to accurately measure SpO2. I also tried doing a 6-minute walk test and within 10 seconds I saw readings from 95 up to 98. Is this normal?

all values are normal , don't overthink

I'm a bit worried about my mom. The doctor gave her Montair LC 001 and Pan D100 for her mild dry cough she mainly gets when she's talking. It's been going on for like 1620 days, but she doesn't have any other cold symptoms, and there are no signs of asthma or acidity issues. I'm concerned that after 15 days of taking these meds, could she be at risk of an asthma attack or acidity problems in the future? I'm also wondering if instead of these medications, would using Strepsils lozenges and the Piriton CS cough suppressant give her some relief? What would you suggest?

try using allegra m
