I'm hearing a whistling sound when I breathe out, especially in the mornings. Coughing happens too, but it's pretty rare. I've been taking monticope and using an aerocort inhaler for relief when the issues kick in. Can you help me understand why this is happening and if there's anything else I should be doing about it?

  1. Possible Causes
    a. The whistling sound, known as wheezing, may indicate airway constriction, often seen in asthma or COPD.
    b. Morning symptoms suggest possible nocturnal asthma or environmental triggers.

  2. Current Treatment
    a. Monticope (montelukast and levocetirizine) helps with allergic symptoms.
    b. Aerocort inhaler (beclomethasone and formoterol) provides relief by reducing inflammation and opening airways.

  3. Recommendations
    a. Continue prescribed medications as directed.
    b. Monitor symptoms and note any triggers or patterns.
    c. Consult a healthcare provider for a review of your treatment plan and consider spirometry for lung function assessment.
    d. Avoid known allergens and irritants, and maintain a clean environment to reduce symptoms.

I've had this cough for about six months now. I've been taking Sigcet M, Azithromycin, and Ceftriaxone, and also using cough syrup. I even checked my sputum three times, and it was negative each time. I did a CBNAAT test, and that was negative too. What should I do next? I'm really worried and looking for some advice.

I'm having some trouble with my breathing, and my nose feels really blocked. It's also making me feel kind of nauseous. Plus, there's this sharp pain when I touch the upper right part of my chest. I went to the doctor, and he gave me antibiotics and something for asthma, and that helped a lot. But I'm wondering, could my smoking, about five cigarettes a day, be making this worse? Should I be worried about any long-term effects?

Yes,continue same treatment as advised by the physician.

I've been doing diaphragmatic breathing regularly and I'm wondering if it's actually beneficial. What should be considered a normal breathing pattern? Is it more common to do chest breathing, diaphragmatic breathing, or is there another method I should know about? I'm a bit confused and would love some guidance.

Normal
