I'm dealing with allergic rhinitis and I've been using Foracort 200 puff for a couple of months now because of my shortness of breath. I've been doing 1 puff in the morning and another in the evening. I'm starting to feel better and don't have any breathing issues now. Can I cut back to just taking a puff in the morning? I've been checking my peak flow meter at home.

I'm still having some pain on the right side of my chest, in my back, and sometimes in my shoulders even after finishing my antibiotics for a Rightsided pleurisy and Upper Respiratory Tract Infection diagnosed last month. My recent CBC showed an ESR of 37, up from 24, but my TLC dropped from 12500 to 8700. I'm just wondering if I should be worried that the infection is still there or if the pain and inflammation will eventually go away on their own. What should I do next?

I've been dealing with a cold and cough recently. My nose was stuffy and stayed that way for about three days, plus I had a burning throat for two days. I also had a fever for a day, but now, it's just the cough that's bothering me. It feels like there's mucus getting stuck in my throat. No other symptoms otherwise, but yesterday morning, some blood appeared in my sputum when I woke up. I had to cough pretty hard to clear my throat, but then I noticed a bit of blood again in the evening. Is this something I should be worried about? I took paracetamol and different cough syrups initially and montelukast for four days. I'm not taking any medicine now. Do you think I need to take something else?
That could be bronchitis,take adequate rest and consume balanced diet,visit physician for appropriate management
