I'm dealing with COPD and my bosses are pretty worried about me using paint. Do you think it's safe for me to use low odor, water-based paints without having any issues? I'm feeling like it should be okay, but I'd love your thoughts.

I've been dealing with a coughing issue over the past week, and it's really getting out of hand, especially at night. It's making it hard to sleep because there's also this white mucus that keeps coming up from my throat. I'm considering taking a cough expectorant, but I'm not sure if that's the best move. What do you think? Should I try medication, or is there something else I should do?

I'm dealing with asthma and recently started on Predement medication, but I'm not seeing any improvements at all. I'm considering getting an injection instead. Do you have any suggestions for what type of injection might be effective?

I'm really worried about this dry cough and breathing trouble I've been having for about a month. It's more noticeable at night or in the morning and worsens when there's smoke, like from an agarbatti. I get some relief with Divya Swasari cough syrup, but it doesn't seem to completely go away even though I'm on antibiotics from my physician. Could you help me figure out what's going on or suggest what else I might try to finally get better?

you might have bronchitis, take tablet amoxyclav for 5 days,twice a day
