I'm really worried about my sister. She's been coughing for the last three months, and it just keeps coming back. On top of that, she's lost weight compared to what she used to be. When she coughs, she feels pain in her chest, and she's also lost her appetite. She's mentioned having a bitter taste in her mouth too. A general physician advised her to get a chest X-ray. Can you help me understand what might be going on? What could possibly be causing all these symptoms?

View allI'm someone who's been dealing with wheezing for over 20 years now. It's not extremely serious, but I've been using inhalers occasionally. I'm really hoping to stop relying on them. I haven't faced a major attack in a couple of years, just minor discomforts where the inhaler comes in handy. Is there a way I can stop using inhalers for good? I've tried ayurveda before, but it didn't quite work and I ended up stopping it. What else can I do?
avoid allergens. steam inhalation

I've been dealing with this persistent cough for several days now, and it just doesn't seem to be improving. I've tried using bisolvon cough forte, but it hasn't really helped. What else can I do to get some relief? Should I be worried about this?
Try doing salt water gargling twice daily and drink only warm water. If there is no relief then please consult a doctor who can examine you and advise accordingly.
