I'm feeling really worried because I've had a fever for the past two days, and now I'm okay, but I'm having a lot of trouble breathing, and my cough is pretty bad. I was taking zentocol and paracetamol as my doctor suggested, but just a while ago, I started getting really dizzy and my chest is making a Gur Gur sound. Plus, there's this weird stuff coming out when I cough. What should I do next?

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.

Yes,continue same treatment. As advised by the physician.

I've been dealing with COPD and I'm also having this annoying post-nasal drip with a nonstop runny nose whenever I eat. At night, my throat gets all clogged up with phlegm, which makes it hard to sleep. I'm taking Glevo 500 daily and nebulizing with Duolin and Budecort every morning, plus just Duolin again at night. Montair LC every other day seems to help a bit. Do you think a nose drop like ipratropium bromide could help with these issues, or is there something else you'd recommend? The throat and nasal issues, along with slight wheezing or a rattling sound sometimes, are really bothering me. Any advice?
