I've been dealing with asthma for the past seven years, and it used to be more of a winter issue with a cough. But for the last two years, its been bothering me year-round, although I dont have the cough now. I'm having trouble breathing and need to use Asthalin 100 twice daily. What can I do to manage this better? Is there something else I should be considering?

I'm having this cough that hits every early morning, but then it seems fine for the rest of the day. I had an X-ray and my doctor said my left lung isn't clear. Do you think I should get an HRCT scan done?

I'm really concerned about my six-year-old daughter's wheezing cough. She's had it for the past year, and we've been using a Sereflo inhaler as advised by our pulmonologist. The dosage has been gradually reduced, and now she's only taking one puff at night. It seemed to be working better, but these last three days have been rough with her experiencing continuous coughing as well as vomiting. We tried giving her a Levolin inhaler like the doctor said, but I'm not sure what's suddenly causing this flare-up. We're still following the six-month treatment plan with the inhaler. What could be the reason for this, and how can we help her get better permanently?

exposure to allergens

I'm a bit worried about my husband. He had a viral fever, cough, and weakness. Thankfully, his fever's gone, and his weakness has improved, but he still has this cough. When he coughs, he struggles with shortness of breath, and even when he tries to take deep breaths, it triggers his cough. He's currently on Gudcef 200 and Windose tablets, as prescribed by the doctor. Any advice on how we should handle this situation?

Continue same treatment for 5 days is advised to the patient.
