I've been dealing with COPD and I'm also having this annoying post-nasal drip with a nonstop runny nose whenever I eat. At night, my throat gets all clogged up with phlegm, which makes it hard to sleep. I'm taking Glevo 500 daily and nebulizing with Duolin and Budecort every morning, plus just Duolin again at night. Montair LC every other day seems to help a bit. Do you think a nose drop like ipratropium bromide could help with these issues, or is there something else you'd recommend? The throat and nasal issues, along with slight wheezing or a rattling sound sometimes, are really bothering me. Any advice?

I've had this persistent cough for about two weeks now and I've been trying different cough syrups. I started with Benadryl, but it didn't really seem to help. Then, my doctor suggested I try BroZedex, which gave me some relief, but it wasn't perfect. I also used Gokof by Fizikem, which made it a bit better, but the cough is still hanging on. What else can I try to get rid of this cough?

I'm a bit worried about my mom. The doctor gave her Montair LC 001 and Pan D100 for her mild dry cough she mainly gets when she's talking. It's been going on for like 1620 days, but she doesn't have any other cold symptoms, and there are no signs of asthma or acidity issues. I'm concerned that after 15 days of taking these meds, could she be at risk of an asthma attack or acidity problems in the future? I'm also wondering if instead of these medications, would using Strepsils lozenges and the Piriton CS cough suppressant give her some relief? What would you suggest?
