Is it possible for someone to just stop breathing all of a sudden without any warning? Would that lead to death, and is there any way to prevent this from happening?

I'm really worried about my wife. She's 35 and has been dealing with this heavy dry cough for over two weeks now. It's like she's coughing 247, and it's been tough on her. We went to see an MD and he said she might be dealing with asthma and an allergic cough. The doctor gave her some meds: Cefakind CV 500 twice a day, Doxomax XP twice a day, Grilinctus BM syrup three times a day, and she's also using a nebulizer twice daily. Her blood and urine tests came back normal but shes still not feeling any better. Could you help us understand what might be the best treatment for this kind of heavy allergic dry cough? We're feeling pretty stuck and don't know what to do next.

I'm a bit confused about my mom's diagnosis. Her CT scan showed something like patchy airspace acinarization and some nodular radio opacities, and she has prominent bronchovascular markings. The doctor said she's got tuberculosis and put her on this Rizorine kit. But what's really bugging me is the doctor mentioned it's not contagious. Is it common for TB to be non-contagious, or could there be some misunderstanding here?

Yes it is not contagious,as we all are vaccinated for it,but if you are weak it might infect you,be safe and follow hygiene practices

I've noticed a little blood in my sputum when I clear my throat in the morning. I don't have any breathing problems, but I've had a cold for about three days. Should I be worried about this?

That could be normal capillary bleed no need to worry as there is history of cold also,it's negligible.
