I'm having some breathing issues at night and it's getting worrisome. My family doc mentioned Montair LC and Fluticone FT which help when I use them, but it seems like this problem is becoming constant. Do you have any advice or ideas on what might be happening?

View allI'm concerned about my 70-year-old mom. She's really sensitive to the cold, and since last week, she's been coughing after showering and sitting under a fast fan. Most of the time, it's a dry cough, but sometimes there's some mucusy spit. She doesn't have a fever, shortness of breath, or feel weak, but I'm worried about whether this needs attention. Should I consider seeing a specialist or doing any tests, especially since she's refusing to visit the doctor? Any advice would really help.
take cough syrup , and avoid cold as much as she can

I've been dealing with a cough for about two weeks now. I took a three-day course of azithromycin and some cough syrup, but nothing seems to be helping. Should I be worried or consider trying something else?
Persistent Cough After Antibiotics and Cough Syrup _Concerns and Next Steps_ 1. _Incomplete treatment_: Azithromycin is typically prescribed for 5-7 days. A 3-day course might not have fully cleared the infection. 2. _Underlying conditions_: Persistent cough can be a symptom of various conditions, such as bronchitis, pneumonia, allergies, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). 3. _Further evaluation needed_: Consult your doctor to reassess your symptoms and determine the best course of action. _Recommended Actions_ 1. _Schedule a follow-up appointment_: Visit your doctor to discuss your persistent cough and determine if additional testing or treatment is necessary. 2. _Get a chest X-ray or other tests_: Your doctor may order a chest X-ray, spirometry, or other tests to rule out underlying conditions. 3. _Consider alternative treatments_: Depending on the underlying cause, your doctor may prescribe additional medications, such as bronchodilators, antihistamines, or acid reflux medications.

I'm in a bit of a situation and could use your advice. My dad's been dealing with this interstitial-looking disease and he's currently on medication for it. The doctor said we should consider getting an oxygen concentrator for him. I want to make sure I choose the right equipment and find a reliable dealer. Could you suggest any specific models or places where I could purchase one?
kindly take help of pharmacist
