I've been dealing with this breathing issue for a while now. I've seen several doctors and had X-rays and blood tests over the last 4 years, and thankfully, they're saying I don't have asthma. One doctor mentioned I have some symptoms of bronchitis, but still, it's not that. For the past year, I've been trying homeopathic medicines, but in the last 6 months, there's been no real improvement. Actually, since yesterday, breathing has become a struggle again, and it all started after I drank some very cold sugarcane juice the afternoon of the day before yesterday. There's also intense pain right in the middle of my chest. My parents are really worried, and it's stressful for all of us. Can you suggest a specialist in Mumbai who might be able to help?

I've been using duolin respule directly for nebulisation without diluting it for about 15-20 days now. I'm starting to worry if that's okay or if there could be any side effects from not diluting it. Could this be harmful in any way? I'm really unsure about this and could use some guidance.

Taking Duolin respule directly without diluting it for nebulization can lead to potential side effects such as increased heart rate, palpitations, tremors, headache, nervousness, dry mouth, and muscle cramps. It is important to follow the proper instructions for nebulization to ensure the medication is delivered effectively and safely. To dilute Duolin respule for nebulization, you can use normal saline solution.

I've been experiencing this weird, persistent cough once a day or so, and each time it comes with this white, sticky phlegm. It only seems to stop after I somehow manage to clear it all out. Sometimes I even have to force myself to vomit just to get it out of my throat. Also, I've noticed a whistling or wheezing sound when I breathe in while Im coughing. Could you help me figure out what's going on, and suggest who I should reach out to for help?

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.

I've been feeling really out of breath at night and I'm dealing with a chest infection and a constant cough. I'm wondering if taking the tablet Theoasthalin would help with my symptoms. Can you give me some advice on whether it's a good idea to try it?
