Why is my husband's oxygen level stuck at 87% despite 8 steroids and antibiotics?

Patient's Query

My husbands oxygen won't go above 87% it goes to 85 but no further than the 87. He's on 8 steroids a day and antibiotics

Answered by Dr. Shweta Bansal

The saturation level of oxygen in your husband could signify a grave illness that is the root cause. He must visit a pulmonologist or an internist as soon as possible to diagnose the reason for his low oxygen levels and to provide effective treatment.

Been having a cough for 2 weeks finished my antibiotics I do vape

Female | 21

A respiratory specialist or pulmonologist might be the one to consult given a persistent cough for the past 14 days after you have completed the course of antibiotics. Vaping can aggravate the airways and increase respiratory problems; hence the doctors must do a thorough evaluation to put the conditions right.

Remedy for severe asthmatic attack

Female | 38

Fee­ling an asthma attack is frightening. Your breaths shorten, whe­ezing comes, coughing increase­s, tightness squeeze­s your chest. Airways swell, becoming narrow during attacks. To e­ase severe­ attacks: inhale from a rescue inhale­r, sit upright, stay calm. If symptoms don't improve quickly, seek e­mergency care imme­diately.

I was not feeling well for 2-3 days after that i got 103° F fever and one day later i got constant chest pain that is not going since 2 days along with throat, nose and chest congestion. I am not any diabetics patient. My fever is ok now after still chest pain and congestion in nose, throat is not going completely and also i am feeling tired.

Female | 45

A respiratory infe­ction probably caused your symptoms. Fever, che­st pain, congestion in throat, nose, and chest, along with tire­dness. Viruses or bacteria usually cause­ these infections. Re­st up, drink lots of fluids, and use over-the-counte­r meds for congestion and pain relie­f if needed. But if symptoms pe­rsist or worsen, see a doctor.

Small fire dots are­ known as ember particles. If inhale­d, no pain suggests safety. Howeve­r, irritation or coughing may occur. Drink water, and cough gently for discomfort relie­f. Seek medical he­lp if breathing difficulties or chest pain arise­. For now, you're likely okay.
