I'm really struggling with my bronchial asthma. Lately, I've been coughing non-stop, day and night. I've been using my inhalers, levolin viola and Airtec FB 200, which used to help, but now they dont seem to be doing anything for my wheezing and coughing. I only get this issue during the winter months. What can I do to get some relief?

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?

My dad's been dealing with a fever since February 26th, and even though we started the meds I mentioned before, there's been no improvement. I then went to a pulmonary doctor who mentioned an infection after viewing the X-ray. I'm worried because apart from his hemoglobin level being 11, the blood test came back normal. They ruled out typhoid and malaria, so I'm at a bit of a loss here. Can you offer any advice on what steps to take next?

I sometimes feel a heaviness in my breathing, especially in the evenings. But when I try running or jogging for around 10 minutes, I don't get breathless or experience a shortness of breath. Is it possible that I have asthma? Im wondering if people with asthma can still run like that. Could you help me understand what might be going on?
