Question

I'm just curious about something and a bit worried. Is it possible for a condition like asthma, which has been pretty much under control, to start acting up after getting a COVID vaccine? I've heard some stories and just want to know if there's anything to that.

Question

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been coughing for a week, and after we went to see a physician, she was given pulmoclear tablets. But now, after taking them for two days, she's having trouble breathing and feels tightness in her chest. Could this be a side effect of the tablet? Theres no family history of asthma or any breathing issues, and she was perfectly fine before starting the medication. I read somewhere that breathing problems are a rare but serious side effect of pulmoclear. Could this be true?
