I'm really worried about my younger brother. He's been dealing with a cough and back pain for a few weeks now. He's also having trouble breathing, and it's like it gets better for a while but then comes back. This has been going on for almost 34 weeks. What should I do?

Question

I'm a civil engineer and often travel to places where the air isn't too clean. Every time I do this, I end up with difficulty breathing through my nose the next day, although I can breathe fine through my mouth. My local doctor gave me this tab called Ebasil, and it works great, but the symptoms come back as soon as I stop taking it. Could you help me figure out what's going on and how to deal with this?

Question

I'm a bit concerned about my mom. She's been having trouble with her breathing, and the nearby doctor prescribed her Spenzo 0.5. I'm a little puzzled because I thought Spenzo was more for mental health issues. Is it common to use it for breathing difficulties? What could be the reason behind this prescription?
