I've been dealing with a persistent cough for about six months now. Initially, it was just a cough, but recently I've noticed some blood when I cough, though it's only happened once or twice. I went to NIMS and they did an X-ray and endoscopy, but didn't find anything and they prescribed me Reswas and Trenxa syrup. Unfortunately, the cough hasn't improved and it tends to get worse at night. I'm feeling okay otherwise, but this nighttime cough is really starting to bother me. Could you suggest where I should go next or what kind of specialist I should consult?

I'm struggling with my asthma and my doctor's advice isn't quite working for me. At first, it was mild so I was using the Duolin 2.5 and Budecort 0.5mg, but things have gotten worse lately. Now, I'm finding myself relying on the nebulizer nearly every day, and it's just so time-consuming. I'm really hoping you can suggest some rotahaler capsule options to try instead. Plus, I'm worried about how severe my asthma has becomeare there any remedies or treatments that might help improve my situation?

I've recently gotten over a bout of typhoid and had to take a lot of medication during that time. Lately, I've been experiencing a sensation I can only describe as "air hunger" or a sense of shortness of breath, as if I need to take long breaths. Can you tell me what this might be?

I'm 33 years old and really struggling with asthma and some gastro issues. Plus, I'm quite overweight at 91 kg, and I think dropping about 20 kg might help with the asthma. Do you have any advice or can you recommend any medicine or tablets that would be suitable for me?
