Is it okay to drink milk if I have a cough or asthma? I've heard mixed things about it possibly making things worse, like increased mucus production. Is that true? Just trying to figure out if I'm better off avoiding it when my symptoms are acting up.

I've been experiencing some breathing problems and chest pain, and sometimes I have a blocked nose too which makes it hard to breathe. Also, I've started having some back pain. I'm a bit worried about these symptoms and wondering if they could be connected. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

I'm Jack, 28 years old, and I've been taking Seroflo 250mg every day for the last 15 years. I'm really concerned about whether this could lead to any issues like impotency or other serious side effects. Could you please let me know what to watch out for?

Long-term use of Seroflo 250 (Salmeterol and Fluticasone) for 15 years may increase the risk of systemic side effects, including adrenal suppression, osteoporosis, and cataracts, but impotency is not a commonly reported side effect
