I'm having a tough time with allergic rhinitis and bronchitis and it's been going on for a while. Lately, I've noticed shallow breathing and that wheezing sound is a real concern. The cough is driving me crazy, it's been three weeks now. Could you tell me which specialist I should see for this?

Is it safe to use an inhaler for a cold? I've heard that Vicks inhalers have been banned in some countries. Could using an inhaler start sinus issues?

Inhaler usage typically does not initiate sinus issues. In fact, inhalers are commonly used to treat conditions like asthma and COPD. If you have concerns about sinus issues, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and treatment.

I'm really worried because last night my girlfriend was having a lot of trouble breathing. It was like her body just locked up and she was gasping for air. I sat her up and she eventually got her breath back, but I'm concerned that this could be a medical issue. Can you help me understand what might be going on?

I'm 30 and have been dealing with some lung pain for about five months now. I've had an ultrasound, and the doctor mentioned swelling in my lungs. The pain gets worse when I sleep on my sides or stretch. I've had asthma since childhood and use a Foracort inhaler. My X-ray also shows an infection. Could you advise me on what medicine might help with this?
