I'm finding myself taking really deep breaths more often, and it feels like I'm putting in extra effort just to breathe sometimes. Is this something that's normal, or do you think I should get it checked out with some tests?

I'm dealing with a cough that's just not going away after celebrating Holi. It's been a while now and I'm getting worried. Is there something I should be doing differently or could there be an underlying issue that's causing this?

It sounds like the dust and colors from Holi may have irritated your airways, leading to a persistent cough. I recommend seeing a doctor to rule out any underlying infection or allergies and to get appropriate treatment, as this kind of cough can sometimes last longer if not addressed properly.

I've been having trouble breathing for the last few months, and the mucus is really thick and white. After I eat, it gets a bit worse, almost like my chest feels heavy. I've already done a chest X-ray and a complete blood test, and everything came out normal. With the whole COVID situation, I can't really go to a hospital right now. Do you have any idea what might be going on or what I should do next?

Patient is advised tab augmentin 625 mg ,orally, thrice daily for 7 days, tab levocetrizine 10 mg bedtime for 5 days and syrup salbutamol 10 ml thrice dailly for 7 days .
