I'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?

I've been dealing with a dry and cold cough for the past week, and it's really starting to worry me. My doctor prescribed azikem 500, but I'm not sure if it's the right thing to take. Is this medication typically recommended for these symptoms, or should I be considering something else? Also, are there any side effects I should be aware of while taking this?
