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 wondering how long it usually takes for my IGE levels to go down. I've been on Spirodin 650 and Montemac FX, but I'm still having trouble with my breathing. When should I start feeling like I did before?

Spirodin 650 is a brand name for Montelukast, which is used to treat asthma and allergic rhinitis. Montemac FX is a combination medication containing Montelukast and Fexofenadine, used for allergic conditions. If you are experiencing breathing problems while taking these medications, it is important to consult your doctor immediately. They may need to adjust your dosage or switch to a different medication to alleviate your symptoms. Monitoring your IGE levels is also important, but the time it takes for them to decrease can vary depending on the individual and the underlying condition. Regular follow-up with your doctor is recommended to track your progress.

I'm dealing with a weird issue where I cough up this jelly-like stuff that comes from deep in my chest. In the mornings, my spit has these dark brown-black specks and its a bit thicker than usual. Im 23 and used to smoke a lot but quit about two months ago because of this. I do have acid reflux, but its mostly under control. I'm worried and can't figure out why this is happening, and sometimes it's so thick that it makes me vomit. What could be going on?

Yes that could be due to GERD ,continue using PPIs and consume bland diet and have adequate rest this will help you

I'm having real trouble with breathing, a sharp pain in my chest, and I've lost my appetite. I was told it might be gastritis, but honestly, I don't think that's it because the meds aren't helping at all. Could it be something else? What should I do?
