I've been dealing with this bronchitis and allergy issue for the past nine months and it's really starting to bother me. On top of that, I've had this annoying chest tightness and back pain for the last six months. Do you think these are all connected somehow, or should I be looking at them separately? What could be causing these symptoms, and how can I get some relief?

I'm having trouble with my breathing and my doctor mentioned it's bronchial asthma caused by allergies. He suggested using a Budecort 200 inhaler to help me breathe better. I'm just not too sure how many puffs I should be taking each day. Can you help me figure it out?

2 puffs each time for 2-3 times per day

Weve been using amoxicillin for the past 56 days, but the recent x-ray still shows no improvement. Should we consider getting a CT scan? How can we tell if its COVID pneumonia or just regular pneumonia? Are there specific tests to differentiate between the two? Is amoxicillin the only medication we should be taking for either type of pneumonia?

many antibiotics medications we can take not only one,* do CT scan
