I'm having a tough time with my breathing; it's been going on for about a year now. I'm pretty sure it's not asthma, but the symptoms feel like itchest congestion and this incomplete feeling when I breathe. I also deal with constant allergies, like my nose is always running and I sneeze a lot. My family doctor recommended Moncel LC and mentioned something about a smaller rotahaler. Does this sound right, or should I try something else?

I'm really worried because I've been having an irritated throat with a lot of coughing. Even scarier, I'm noticing some blood coming up when I cough. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

The presence of blood in your cough could be due to irritation of the throat or respiratory tract. I recommend you take a cough syrup like Benadryl Cough Formula (dosage: 10ml three times a day) to help soothe your throat and reduce the coughing. Additionally, you can use a throat lozenge like Strepsils (dissolve one lozenge slowly in the mouth every 2-3 hours) to help with the irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've recently been diagnosed with bronchitis and had this persistent cough with thick phlegm. The doctor gave me some meds, and I'm feeling better now, but he suggested doing a PFT test if possible. Now, I'm wondering if it makes sense to just do the PFT test on its own, or should I also get a chest X-ray with it? Or maybe a CT scan of the chest would give clearer results? I'd love some guidance on what's best to do next.

Chest x-ray with pft is advised to the patient.
