I'm wondering if it's really important to carry an inhaler in my pocket when I leave the house, especially if I sometimes get asthma attacks. Can I just keep it with me for emergencies when I'm out?

I've been dealing with wheezing and a cough for the last couple of days, and tonight I took an azithromycin 500 tablet along with a pill that has serratiopeptidase and diclofenac sodium. Now I feel like the wheezing has gotten worse. Should I be worried or change the medication? What should I do next?

My mom's been having this persistent cough, and even though she saw a doctor who prescribed grillentus cough syrup, it hasn't really helped. I'm getting worried since it's not getting better. Do you have any suggestions for another cough syrup or something else we could try?

I've been dealing with asthma since I was 3, and for a while, around when I was 18 or 19, I was doing really well. I was playing football and doing all sorts of activities that aren't typically recommended for asthmatics. But in the last couple of years, I quit playing football, and since then, I've gained weight and my breathing issues have worsened. Now I'm back to relying on my regular medications like Alegra M, the inhaler Salbair, and Formoflow. Lately, I find myself struggling to hold my breath for even half a minute, and I'm going through an inhaler every couple of days. Could you suggest any tips to help me manage my current situation better?
