I've been dealing with asthma since I was a kid and used to take Aerocort Rotacap. But a bit ago, my doctor switched me to Formoflo 250 and it's been working well. I'm 22 now, but starting from 2016, I just can't seem to stay healthy. I'm always getting sick, and each time I go to the hospital, the docs keep giving me antibiotics. I'm worried and not sure what my next step should be. Any advice?

I'm curious about monitoring my lung capacity weekly with a peak flow meter. It consistently shows 350 to 400 LM, which stays within the green zone, and although I feel okay, I'm wondering if that's sufficient to keep track of my lung health. Since being diagnosed with bronchitis, I've become increasingly concerned about my lungs, especially because of the thick phlegm. Should I be doing more than just the peak flow meter, like maybe a pulmonary function test, to get a clearer picture of my lung function? Id appreciate some advice on this.

do pulmonary function test once ,no need to repeat every week

I'm having this cough that hits every early morning, but then it seems fine for the rest of the day. I had an X-ray and my doctor said my left lung isn't clear. Do you think I should get an HRCT scan done?
