I'm really worried because she's been dealing with asthma for about 10 years now, and she's been using medicine and an inhaler, but there hasn't been any improvement. Her breathing problems seem to be getting worse, especially with this constant cough. Could you please guide me on what we can do?

I'm having a really hard time breathing normally. I used to smoke regularly, but I've quit that habit recently. Now, when I breathe, it feels like the muscles on the left side of my chest are stretching, and I can't seem to breathe properly. I've also stopped drinking alcohol, which I did before. One side of my nose seems to work okay, but the other side doesn't. Could this be related to quitting smoking or something else?

My husband finished 6 months of medication for mediastinal lymph node TB, and I've attached his reports. Originally, his node was 7cm by 3cm. During this period, he gained 9kg, and while he used to have a fever, thats gone now and his cough is a bit better. But he still coughs around 30 times a day, and I'm counting each one. Could it be something serious like cancer since his cough hasn't completely cleared up yet?

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.
