I've been dealing with this constant cough and breathing issues for a few days now, even though I'm on a daily dose of Symbicort for my bronchitis asthma. I'm starting to get really worried because I'm not sure what else I can do. Can you recommend a good pulmonologist I could see, or suggest any other steps I might take to help manage this? It's been pretty stressful not knowing how to handle it.

I'm a bit worried about using an inhaler. If someone uses it once or occasionally, do they end up needing it regularly? I've never used an inhaler before. Usually, my cough stops after I have some tea or take certain medicines, but recently those aren't working. Would it be a good idea to start using an inhaler, or is there a chance it could make my body depend on it?
