I'm a 50-year-old mom of two and I've been struggling with this unbearable coughing. It's like I can't stop until I cough up the phlegm, which is really painful. My doctor gave me some medicine and suggested using a nebulizer, but honestly, I'm not satisfied and just want to understand what's really wrong. Can you help me figure out what might be causing this?

View allI've been taking asthalin pills and accidentally took 4mg instead of 2mg for 35 days. Now I'm having some weird symptoms like a fast heartbeat and shivering. I've switched to using an inhaler for 34 days but those symptoms haven't gone away. I keep waking up suddenly when I'm about to fall asleep, and it's freaking me out a bit. Any advice on how I can deal with these side effects?

I've been feeling kind of worried since yesterday. I was spray painting my bathroom cabinet for around 5 to 10 minutes, and I didn't use a mask. About 20 minutes later, I started feeling short of breath. Today, I'm still experiencing some shortness of breath, though not as intense as before, and there's a bit of coughing. A friend gave me some cough drops which helped a bit, but I'm concerned if I should just wait it out a few more days or if it's necessary to head to the hospital. What do you think?
Its possible that inhaling the spray paint fumes irritated your airways, causing shortness of breath and coughing. If your symptoms are improving, rest, stay hydrated, and avoid irritants. However, if you feel worsening shortness of breath, chest tightness, or persistent discomfort, its best to visit a hospital for evaluation.

I'm really worried about my father. He has this mass lesion, about 2.7cm wide, on his left upper lobe, and they said it's TB. Once we start the ATT treatment, how long does it usually take for the size to start shrinking? Also, what kind of size reduction can we actually expect?
Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.
