I'm trying to figure out if occasional wheezing from allergies could mean I have asthma. I've noticed that using an asthalin puff helps when this happens, but I'm not sure if it's just wheezing or if it actually indicates asthma. Could you help clarify this for me?

I've been dealing with this stubborn dry cough for nearly two months now. It's not the first time either I usually get it once a year. In the past, my doctor recommended this medication called Benocide fort, and it seemed to work. I know there's something about eosinophils being off balance with me, but I haven't done a blood test or taken Benocide fort yet this time. Nothing else is helping, and the cough is so bad that I'm getting chest cramps, especially at night and in the morning. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

You may need to take anti Histamine tablets and steroid bronchodialator inhalers for long term benefits you might be suffering from allergic airway disorder

I'm a 35-year-old guy, and my whole family has tested positive for COVID-19, but I tested negative on June 29. Lately, I've noticed I have a minor cough, and sometimes my oxygen level drops to 88, although it usually bounces back to 97 or 98 after about a minute. I only feel a little drowsy when it happens. Everything else seems okay. What should I do now?

Kindly consult a pulmonologist at the earliest for further evaluation

I'm a bit worried about my breathing issues. The doctor prescribed me Predmet 4mg tablets for 15 days, and it really helped control it. But now that I've finished the course, the breathing problem has come back. How long can I safely continue taking this medicine if it helps with my breathing? Could you please advise?

Patient is advised predmet 4 mg for 14 days, then predmet 2 mg for 14 days, and lastly tab predmet 1mg for 14 days and then stoped.
