What Causes Low Oxygen Levels While Suffering From Cold?
My daughter had got really sick last year she had a cold and needed up in the hospital for a few days because her oxygen would not stay up but she was fine after a few days. She never has spells unless she gets a cold or cough and she is on a steroid inhaler and abulatrol but she is fine up until she gets a cold and then her oxygen will drop is this normal for just a head cold ?
