Question

I've been struggling with getting a cough and cold over and over again. It's strange because I don't really cough during the day, but at night it gets so bad that I can't sleep properly. What could be causing this, and what can I do to get a good night's sleep?

Question

I'm trying to figure out which oral bronchodilators are safe for long-term use for asthma. I get that using an inhaler is usually better, but I'm curious if there are newer oral options that don't affect the heart as much. Can you help clarify?

Question

I've been noticing that I'm getting white and clear sputum, and I'm a bit concerned. Is this something normal, or should I be worried? I don't have any other symptoms, but I'm not sure if this is something I should get checked out. Can you help?

Question

I'm really worried about him. He recently got over COVID but now has this lung infection. His HCRT was at 1525 back in May, but when he got out of the hospital at the end of the month, it was down to 1125. His other tests like CRP and D-dimer seem normal, but he's been having some issues. He gets constipated, and in the mornings, he starts coughing a lot which gets better after he freshens up and burps. Similar thing happens after dinner; he coughs until he belches and then it's like back to normal. He keeps feeling like there's something stuck in his neck. Plus, he's type 2 diabetic, which concerns me. Can you suggest some medication or treatment that might help him?
