I'm experiencing frequent shortness of breath for several months now. I've always had a habit of taking deep breaths since I was a kid, but it's been feeling more uncomfortable lately. I mostly have a sedentary lifestyle because I'm working from home. What could be causing this and what should I do about it?

View allI've been spitting up white mucus throughout the day, and I'm a bit concerned. I'm a smoker, and I used to smoke 5 cigarettes a day, but I've cut it down to 2 now. Lately, I've noticed this white mucus, especially in the morning, and one morning it even looked black. Could this be related to my smoking, or is it something else I should be worried about?

I've been having a dry cough for a few days now, and I'm using Zedex cough syrup as my local doctor suggested. The problem is, the phlegm isn't coming up when I cough; it just stays in my chest, which is why the coughing won't stop. Could you offer any advice on what I can do about this?
Tab acetylcysteine for 3 days

I've been dealing with a pretty rough cough for about a week now, and it's been really productive. On top of that, I've had this severe cold for about five days. I took Azithromycin and Monteleukast, but I'm not sure if they're helping. Should I be worried, or do I just need to give it more time? What should I do next?
If Azithromycin didn't work you have to get Sputum for Culture sensitivity done and use appropriate antibiotic done.
