My mom got over COVID about a month and a half ago, but her oxygen level is still around 93-95. Should I be worried about this? Do you think I should get her checked by a pulmonologist, or is there a chance she'll just get better on her own in the next couple of months? Before COVID, she had some dust allergies and would often cough, vomit, and sometimes have trouble breathing when going up stairs. What do you suggest I do?

I've had a wet cough for the past five days, and this morning I noticed there was blood when I spat. I quit smoking about 20 days ago, and I'm really concerned about what's going on. Can you help me figure out what might be happening?

I'm having some trouble with congestion in my chest and hearing noises when I breathe, mostly because of dust, I think. A few days ago, I had a fever, and my back's been hurting, probably because of the breathing issues. Plus, the cough is making the pain in my throat and back worse. Can you give me some advice on what I should do?

Syrup salbutamol 10 ml orally thrice daily is advised to the patient.
