Question

I've had this chest congestion for about a week now, and there's some coughing too. Im having trouble taking deep breaths. My temperature's been normal though. Could this possibly be COVID-19, or is it likely something else?

Question

I'm having a hard time figuring out the best way to use my rescue inhalers. I usually use Ventolin when my asthma acts up, but switch to Bricanyl when it's really bad since it has a higher dose. But then I get these side effects like a sore, irritated throat and coughing. I've tried using fewer puffs, but that doesn't seem to help with the asthma symptoms. Any advice on how to manage this better?

Question

I'm really worried about having dust in my lungs because I've started coughing up bloody sputum. It makes me feel a bit scared about the health of my lungs. What should I do to fully diagnose the cause of this? Could this be weakening my lungs? Would really appreciate some advice.

Question

I've had a cough problem since I was a kid, especially in April and June because of dust. I'm 24 now and have tried so many medicines, but nothing seems to work. My doctor told me to use levolin and budecort, but I'm still struggling. Is there anything else you think might help me get rid of this issue? Any advice would be great.
