I'm allergic to dust and use a Foracort 400 inhaler for my allergic asthma when I'm feeling breathless. I recently spent some time in a really dusty area and might have inhaled a lot of dust. Im feeling okay right now, but Im concerned. What should I be doing after being exposed to so much dust, even if Im not having any immediate problems?

Hey, so about two weeks ago I had a fever and then got hit with a cough and cold. Even some sputum was coming up. The fever's gone now and I'm feeling better, but the cough is still sticking around, though it's not as bad as last week. There's still some sputum, but not too much. But what's got me concerned is that when I cough, I hear like this bell sound coming from inside my lungs. Any ideas on what this could be or what I should do?

get a chest xray done
