I'm 55 and I've been having more and more of a cough lately, especially when I'm on the phone or talking to others. I've tried using cough syrup with dextromethorphan hydrobromide and gargling with salt water, but I'm not seeing much improvement. What should I do next?

View allI've been experiencing some late-night wheezing that lasts for a bit. It usually gets better after I use ginger honey, but I'm curious about what's causing it. I don't have a history of asthma, although my sister does. Could there be a connection? Should I be worried about this?

I'm dealing with a cold and cough that just won't go away. Every time I come into contact with dust, my nose gets all irritated, and the cold seems to flare up again. It's particularly tough during the winter; sometimes it feels hard to breathe because of the heavy cold. Should I be worried about this recurring issue, and is there something specific I can do to feel better?
you might be allergic to dust and cold

I've had this persistent cough for a few weeks now and my GP sent me for a chest x-ray. It's been over two weeks since the x-ray on Tuesday, but I haven't heard any results yet. I'm really anxious and wondering if this delay is normal. Should I be worried about this?
wait for chest xray report
