I'm a 20-year-old student currently living in a college hostel in Kota, Rajasthan, and I've been dealing with asthma for a while now. Lately, I've been experiencing chest congestion, coughing, cold symptoms, and wheezing, with a tightness in my chest when I breathe. Being at college, I'm looking for some home remedies that are easy to do in a hostel setting. Could you suggest some ways to help manage these asthma symptoms?

I'm getting this wheezing sound when I breathe in, and my pulmonologist had me do a PFT and FENO test. The FENO test results show 58, which is apparently severe, but I'm not an asthma patient. The PFT shows 72. Should I be worried about how serious this is? Do I need to take any specific precautions? I'm currently using Symbicort 320 twice a day.

I'm really worried and need some advice. For the past three months, I've been waking up every morning with brown phlegm, but the rest of the day it's clear. It's coming from my throat, and I dont have a cough. I don't smoke, and I live in a calm area with low pollution and a humid climate. It's really freaking me out, and I can't shake the feeling that something might be seriously wrong. Should I be worried? Are there any home remedies that might help?
Spitting brown phlegm in the morning can be alarming, but it's often treatable. Given your symptoms and environment, here are possible causes: *Possible Causes* 1. *Postnasal drip*: Mucus from your nose can drip down the back of your throat, causing brown phlegm. 2. *Acid reflux*: Stomach acid can flow up into your throat, causing inflammation and brown phlegm. 3. *Allergies*: Seasonal or environmental allergies can trigger excess mucus production. 4. *Sinusitis*: Inflammation of the sinuses can cause thick, discolored mucus. *Home Remedies* 1. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water to thin out mucus. 2. *Saline gargle*: Mix 14 teaspoon of salt with 8 ounces of warm water and gargle several times a day. 3. *Honey and lemon*: Mix equal parts honey and lemon juice in warm water to soothe your throat. 4. *Elevate your head*: Sleep with your head slightly elevated to reduce postnasal drip. *Medical Consultation* If your symptoms persist or worsen, consult an *ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) specialist* or a *primary care physician*. They may recommend: 1. *Nasal endoscopy*: To examine your nasal passages and sinuses. 2. *Throat swab*: To check for infections. 3. *Acid reflux testing*: To diagnose acid reflux. 4. *Allergy testing*: To identify potential allergens.
