I'm really worried because I've been told I might have a blood clot in my chest and lungs. Is this something that can be treated? And if so, could you recommend a good hospital that specializes in this type of condition?

I'm dealing with some bothersome allergies from dust and smoke, and it's making it tough to breathe. I'm getting the feeling these might be signs of asthma. Could you help me out with this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing asthma symptoms due to your allergies. To help with your breathing difficulties, I recommend using an inhaler such as Ventolin (albuterol) to provide immediate relief. The usual dosage for adults is 1-2 puffs every 4-6 hours as needed. Additionally, you may benefit from a maintenance inhaler like Flovent (fluticasone) to help control your asthma symptoms in the long term. The typical dosage for adults is 2 puffs twice a day. It's important to use these medications as prescribed by your healthcare provider for optimal management of your asthma symptoms.

I'm dealing with some annoying allergies that started yesterday, and now whenever I'm in cold air, I can't stop sneezing. I took Allegra last night, and thankfully, the sneezing has lessened today. However, when I cough, I feel a pain in my rib cage. Is this something I should be worried about? For some context, I had a moderate case of COVID about six months ago and my lungs were affected back then.
