I'm experiencing a runny nose and occasionally a cough since yesterday, and now there's this wheezing sound coming from my chest. Could this be asthma? Should I consider using an inhaler, even though I'm not having trouble breathing?

View allI've been experiencing this bizarre sensation latelywhenever I try to lift something heavy, my lungs start to hurt and my breathing gets all rapid. It feels like my lungs are almost trying to escape out my mouth, and it's honestly pretty scary. Could you recommend any effective medication to help with this? I'm looking for some relief and would appreciate your advice.
Experiencing pain and rapid breathing when lifting heavy objects could be related to several factors, including musculoskeletal strain, improper lifting techniques, or underlying respiratory issues. While medication can help manage symptoms, its important to identify and address the root cause. I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation to determine the exact cause of your symptoms. In the meantime, consider avoiding heavy lifting, using proper lifting techniques, and practicing deep breathing exercises to help manage your symptoms. Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen may provide temporary relief, but please consult your doctor before taking any medication.

I've been dealing with a really annoying cold, cough, and itchy throat for about a week now. I've tried home remedies and even saw a doctor, but nothing seems to be working. The cough is so much worse at night than in the morning, and my throat always starts itching right before I cough. I'm currently taking Asthakind DX syrup and Cefpodoxime and Levocetirizine tablets, but it's still not getting better. Can you suggest any other medicine or treatment that might help?

I'm worried about my right cp lungs being blunted. I've had a cough for the last 30 days. Can you recommend a good medication for this?
A blunted right CP lung could indicate some underlying condition, like pleural effusion or lung inflammation. Given your persistent cough for 30 days, it's important to consult a doctor for a thorough evaluation. Medications like antibiotics or inhalers may be prescribed based on the diagnosis, but a proper assessment is needed to determine the right treatment.
