I've been dealing with a persistent cough for almost three months now. Whenever I take Deriphyllin 150mg and Cetrizine, it seems to help for about 20 hours, but then the cough comes back at night. What do you think I should do?

It sounds like your cough may be persistent, possibly due to an underlying issue like allergies or respiratory inflammation. I recommend consulting your doctor for further evaluation and possibly adjusting your treatment plan, as the relief youre experiencing may be temporary.

Question

I've been finding myself taking really deep breaths and yawning quite often, especially when I'm just relaxing. It's weird because it doesnt bother me at all during sleep. Ive gone through all the tests and everything checks out fine. My family doctor mentioned it might be stress or overthinking, but Im not really convinced. I can't help but keep thinking about these long breaths. I also deal with acidity issues. Could these things be related? Any advice on what's going on would be really helpful.

Question

I'm really worried about ILD and whether it's curable or not. I've read online that people with ILD only live for about 3 to 5 years. Is that true? Is there anything specific I can do to help manage this disease? Id really appreciate any advice or remedies you can suggest.

Question

I'm really worried about my allergic asthma that's been going on for 20 years now. Every March, it seems to get worse, and I've been using the Seretide Accuhaler 50050mcg for the past 15 years. Recently, I've been experiencing difficulty in breathing and a tight feeling in my chest. I just got my chest X-ray done, and it showed haziness in the left lower lung zone with prominent vascular markings. Could you help me understand what this means? I'm really concerned.
