I'm having a hard time breathing and feel like I need to open my mouth every now and then just to catch a breath. It's weird because my breathing seems normal when I'm sleeping, but it's like something's blocking my throat. I don't have a fever or body aches, but my chest feels heavy and I've got this gassy feeling too. I tried holding my breath for 30 seconds and it was fine, but I still need to take deep breaths through my mouth, and even then, it doesn't feel quite right. What could be going on?

I'm dealing with chest congestion and a wet cough that's been going on for over three months now. An X-ray showed I have left hilar lymphadenopathy. I tried taking Cefpodoxime, 200 mg twice a day, but it didn't help. Now I'm on Montelukast and Doxofylline tablets along with Foracort Rotacaps inhalation therapy, but I'm still not seeing any clear improvement. Any ideas on what I should do next?

I'm really curious about eosinophilic bronchitis. Can you explain what exactly it is and what symptoms I should be looking out for? Is this something I should be worried about health-wise, like, could it cause any serious problems if left untreated?

I'm dealing with some really frustrating wheezing and breathing issues that started back in January. It seems like something specific is triggering it, but I can't figure out what. I've had severe wheezing four times and had to get Deriphyllin injections, but they don't seem to be helping much. I did notice that it might be related to eating non-veg food, as my asthma flares up afterwards, and this time, even Deriphyllin isn't fixing it. Can you recommend the right kind of inhaler I should use for a lasting solution to this allergic asthma?

Seroflo inhaler sos is advised to the pt for wheezing.
