I'm really worried about my boyfriendhe's been experiencing shortness of breath almost every day, and now his sleep is getting disrupted by this choking cough and cold. He even catches a cold easily in the summer. It's been really rough for the past 23 days, and on top of that, he has indigestion. What can I do to help him or any advice on how we should handle this situation?

My wife has been dealing with asthma for the past six months, and we're really worried about whether she can completely recover from it. Is there a chance that asthma can be fully eliminated from her body?

Asthma is a chronic condition that can be managed but not completely cured. With proper treatment and management, your wife can control her symptoms and lead a normal life. Medications such as inhalers like Ventolin (albuterol) for acute attacks and maintenance inhalers like Flovent (fluticasone) can help control asthma symptoms. It is important for her to follow her doctor's advice, avoid triggers, and lead a healthy lifestyle to manage her asthma effectively.

My dad's really struggling with his COPD. He can barely walk 20 meters without having trouble breathing. He's taking Trinose, Montelukast, Acebrophylline, and Finofixodine tablets, plus an inhaler, but it doesnt seem to be helping much. Is there anything else we can try or do for better relief? Its really worrying me.
