I'm 30 and have been dealing with some lung pain for about five months now. I've had an ultrasound, and the doctor mentioned swelling in my lungs. The pain gets worse when I sleep on my sides or stretch. I've had asthma since childhood and use a Foracort inhaler. My X-ray also shows an infection. Could you advise me on what medicine might help with this?

I've been smoking for about 5 years, and I stopped almost 2 months ago. But I've noticed I'm still coughing. The cough is white in color, and there's no other kind of cough. What could be going on? Can you suggest something that might help?

I've been dealing with asthma and allergic rhinitis since I was a kid. Lately, I've noticed that every evening I get this wheezing sound, and while using the asthalin or Foracort inhaler helps, it just flares up again after a few hours. I'm also on Montelukast and Fexofenadine, and sometimes Levocetrizine before bed. The rhinitis seems to have gotten worse in the past few weeks, and I've started sweating more than usual. Could you suggest what might be going on or what I should do next?

take proper scheduled treatment for asthma like inhalers and steroids
