I'm having trouble with my breathing and hear a hissing sound when I breathe, especially when I start running. I also feel a tightness in my chest, and I end up coughing a lot. Should I be worried about this, and is there something specific I should be doing or looking into?

So, my younger sister has been dealing with allergies for about 10 years now. Her doctor recommended Budecort 100 mg, and she's been taking one puff a day. Normally, she's fine for months, but then suddenly, she starts to get a cold, dry throat, and sometimes a cough, and breathing becomes really hard for her. We end up needing to use a nebulizer in the hospital to get things under control. Do you think there's any permanent solution to stop this from happening?

you have to take inhaler whenever symptoms exacerbated no alternative
