I recently quit smoking and I'm really concerned about the tar that's built up in my lungs. I'm hoping to clean them out and go through some kind of lung detox. Can you tell me how I can do this effectively?

Question

My mom was admitted to the government hospital a couple of days ago because she had a really bad cough and her oxygen level was super low, like around 80 when we got there. The doctor said its a lung infection and gave her a prescription with some meds and injections. After taking just one dose, her blood pressure and pulse started going all over the place. I attached the prescription here. I'm a bit worried and just want to make sure these meds are okay to continue with. What do you think?

Question

I'm facing a problem with my breathing whenever I'm in cold places like my office, and it seems like that's when my cough really kicks in. I don't have the flu or anything, but I notice I'm breathing really fast. Anyone know what could be going on?

Question

I'm a bit worried about my mom. The doctor gave her Montair LC 001 and Pan D100 for her mild dry cough she mainly gets when she's talking. It's been going on for like 1620 days, but she doesn't have any other cold symptoms, and there are no signs of asthma or acidity issues. I'm concerned that after 15 days of taking these meds, could she be at risk of an asthma attack or acidity problems in the future? I'm also wondering if instead of these medications, would using Strepsils lozenges and the Piriton CS cough suppressant give her some relief? What would you suggest?
