I'm really struggling with how to boost my immunity during the cold season and I'm also worried about my breathing issues. I want to minimize using my inhaler as much as possible. Could you offer any advice on how to handle this?

Question

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been having this thick, yellow, milky mucus with a little bit of blood in it from his nose in the mornings. The rest of the day, there's no blood, just yellow-green mucus, even though it's been two weeks since he started antibiotics. He was prescribed Azithromycin for five days and Doxycycline twice daily. Twice he coughed up some blood, but it stopped on the same day. Now, he's mostly coughing up white, thick phlegm. This started after his fever went away. What do you think might be going on? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Question

I've been struggling with this severe wet whooping cough for 7 months now and it's really worrying me. I'm 6 months pregnant and don't smoke, but nothing seems to help. Ive been on antibiotics and have gone to the hospital 40 times where they gave me lots of IVs. The doctors say I have tuberculosis, pneumonia, bronchitis, and a really deep wet bronchial infection, plus a severe lung infection. When I breathe and cough, my chest rattles, and after being auscultated, they said theres a croaking sound from my lungs. Sometimes when I cough, its so bad I turn red or even blue because I can't breathe. Honestly, Im scared. What should I do to finally get rid of this cough?

Question

I'm wondering if it's really important to carry an inhaler in my pocket when I leave the house, especially if I sometimes get asthma attacks. Can I just keep it with me for emergencies when I'm out?
