I'm really worried because I've been dealing with COPD for about 10 years, and I get asthma attacks whenever I physically exert myself. I use the Seroflo 250 inhaler all the time, but I'm wondering if there's any stem cell therapy available as a treatment for COPD. Can you provide any insight or advice on that?

I've been dealing with asthma and using a Foracort inhaler, but recently I've been having a lot of issues with a runny nose and lots of sneezing. I'm not sure if this might be rhinitis or not. What do you think, and could you suggest some medication that might help with the runny nose?

I'm a bit worried about my friend who's been dealing with a cold for nearly a week now. We visited a pulmonologist, and he checked her mouth and ears, then performed this thing called fremitus on her chest. But he didn't ask her to say '99' or 'bluemoon' and there was no request for her to cough either. Is it normal to do the fremitus test like this, without having her say anything? Is the procedure different based on the situation? Just trying to understand if this is the right approach for her condition.
