I've been dealing with this persistent cough and phlegm situation for about 8 days now. I went to see a doctor, and they prescribed me Brozedex syrup, Cefolac AZ tablets, Crocin for pain relief, and Budusal nebulizer at .10mg, but I'm still not feeling any improvement with the phlegm. Should I be worried, or is there something else I could try?

To address your concerns:

Vaginal Discharge and Abdominal Hair

Vaginal discharge can be normal, but if accompanied by itching, burning, or a strong odor, it may indicate a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis.

The black line of hair on your abdomen (linea nigra) can be caused by hormonal fluctuations, which may be related to pregnancy, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or other hormonal imbalances.

Lip Kissing and Pregnancy

Lip kissing does not cause pregnancy. Pregnancy occurs when a sperm fertilizes an egg, typically through vaginal intercourse.

Recommended Actions

Schedule a gynecological exam to assess the vaginal discharge and abdominal hair growth.

Practice safe sex to prevent unintended pregnancy and STIs.

Consider taking a pregnancy test if you suspect you might be pregnant.

Ive been dealing with chronic bronchitis and it's really been affecting my sleepI can barely get a good night's rest with the insomnia. Plus, I've been having chest congestion, indigestion, and even some internal bleeding. It's getting to the point where I need more and more oxygen, and I'm finding myself having to take big breaths through my mouth. Do you have any suggestions or info on how to manage these symptoms better? I'm getting pretty worried about my health.

I've been dealing with a pretty bad indigestion issue. So, on June 1st, 2020, I just up and quit smoking. I was smoking about 45 cigarettes a day for the past 10 years, but I started cutting down in 2018 and finally stopped after two years. The first few months, I had headaches and an upset stomach, but recently I've had a bit of trouble breathing. When I do things like running or cardio workouts, I feel okay, but if I miss a day, I notice some shortness of breath and my throat feels tight. This has been going on for a month, and I've been feeling kinda weak, too. Is this normal, or could it be something else? I don't have any other symptoms.

Salbutamol inhaler and budesonide 200 sos is advised for breathing difficulty.
