I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
Coughing up phlegm is a good thing. But if your cough lasts longer than two weeks or if the phlegm is yellow, green, brown, black, white or red, you should schedule an appointment with a healthcare provider as soon as possible.

Asked for female, 26 years old from Kolkata

Is it normal for the spo2 level to drop before 95 and even 90 when the oximeter is placed on the toe and the leg is elevated, There does not seem to be any study on this, but I could be wrong.

If you are worried best would be to do an abg for pao2 which is most accurate.
And do cbc for hb
spo2 is not accurate representation of oxygen levels
if you are suffering from copd then 88-92 is ok level
do contact me for further diagnosis and treatment or if you still have some doubts you want to clear.

Pulmonologist•Gurgaon

Chronic respiratory diseases like bronchial asthma, bronchiectasis, copd, sarcoidosis and interstitial lung disease are vulnerable to repeated infections and multiple hospital visits or admission.

The main reasons for the increased susceptibility is altered lung defence, use of steroids in various respiratory conditions and multiple comorbidities like diabetes and coronary disease.

Patients should ideally be vaccinated for pneumococcal and influenza disease routinely.
