I'm noticing some blood when I cough in the morning while brushing my teeth and washing my mouth. I also experience a dry cough during that time. Is this something to worry about? What could be causing it?

I'm a 20-year-old girl dealing with asthma, and every time I use my Asthalin inhaler, it gives me tremors and a headache. I'm really concerned about these side effects. Could switching to a Ventolin inhaler help prevent them?

Yes, you can consider switching to Ventolin (salbutamol) inhaler, as it is similar to Asthalin, but some people may tolerate it better, however, since you're experiencing tremors and headaches, consult your doctor before making the switch to discuss potential alternatives, adjusting dosages, or adding medications to minimize side effects.
