A member asked:
For 2 days i have a cough and shortness of breath. doctor said my oxygen levels are normal but he put me on adibiotics.could i have something serious?

Unlikely: Your description suggests a "chest cold" - acute bronchitis. It's possible that you have an element of bronchospasm - asthma. Sounds like your doctor is "on the case" - stay with him/her. Warm wishes to you.
