I've been dealing with wheezing and a cough for the last couple of days, and tonight I took an azithromycin 500 tablet along with a pill that has serratiopeptidase and diclofenac sodium. Now I feel like the wheezing has gotten worse. Should I be worried or change the medication? What should I do next?

My brother has allergic asthma and only 80% of his lungs are working right now. Is there any treatment like therapy, meds, or even surgery that could help his lungs function at 100% again? Really worried and looking for options to improve his condition.

While asthma can't be cured and it's unlikely his lung function will return to 100%, there are effective treatments that can significantly improve his lung function, control his asthma, and help him live a normal life. These treatments include medication, breathing exercises, and avoiding triggers.
