I'm coughing a lot and my chest feels like it's aching when I do. Should I be worried about this? Is it something serious, or maybe just a normal cold? What do you think could be causing this, and is there anything I should be doing to feel better?

I'm really worried about my dad's asthma. He's been using Serollo 250 for the past 5 years because his asthma specialist recommended it. However, lately, every time we get a new one, it seems defective and isn't helping much. His asthma symptoms are actually getting worse, and Im really concerned. Is there an alternative to Serollo 250 that we might be able to find at local stores? I've attached a pic of the product if that helps.

I'm a 53-year-old male and have been dealing with allergic asthma for quite some time now. I've been relying on Montac LC, which works well for me, but it's become quite expensive, nearly twice the price over the past year. Plus, nasal sprays and inhalers don't seem to help much, especially with the constant skin itching and sneezing. Is there an alternative tablet or medicine you could suggest?

I've come across some information online suggesting that being able to hold your breath for over a minute means you have healthy lungs. I'm curious if this is a valid test for lung health. I personally can hold my breath for a minute and a half. Does that mean my lungs are in good shape, or should I be looking at other signs?
