I've been having a really bad cough with lots of white phlegm, and my doctor recommended I take Cepodem XP 325. It's not getting better though, so I'm wondering if it's okay to add Pulmoclear along with Cepodem. What do you think?

It's best to consult your doctor before adding Pulmoclear with Cepodem XP 325, as combining medications may need careful consideration. If your cough persists, a follow-up with your doctor might help to adjust your treatment plan.

I've been noticing these weird gelatin-like balls whenever I cough, and they come in different colors. I'm also experiencing some chest tightness and wheezing. What could be causing this, and is it something serious I should be worried about?

Coughing up clear jelly balls may be caused by a buildup of mucus in the airways. This may occur due to allergies or infections such as common colds or flu, accompanied with dehydration. If symptoms continue for more than a few weeks, it is best to contact a doctor to find out the cause and get treatment. If the color of the mucus resembles yellow or greenish mucus, it may be indicative of a bacterial infection, which may require antibiotic therapy.

I'm really struggling with my breathing the last couple of days. It feels heavy and I'm breathing super fast, plus I'm yawning all the time. My heart's been racing too, and it's making me so anxious. My nose is clear and my hemoglobin's normal, so I'm at a loss about what's going on. I'm constantly worrying about my breathing now and focusing on it just seems to make it worse. Any idea what this could be? It's really stressing me out.

because of anxiety, you are having this difficulty in breathing. reduce stress, anxiety
