I've been having these asthma attacks more frequently in the past few days. It used to happen only occasionally and would go away with an asthalin inhaler, but now it's like 2 to 3 times a day. I'm feeling breathless and sometimes hear a wheezing sound. Could it be the dust I encounter while traveling that's causing this? Also, right after I wake up, the symptoms seem to get worse, with a lot of sputum and my eyes get irritated and my throat starts itching. What could be going on here?

View allI've had a cough problem since I was a kid, especially in April and June because of dust. I'm 24 now and have tried so many medicines, but nothing seems to work. My doctor told me to use levolin and budecort, but I'm still struggling. Is there anything else you think might help me get rid of this issue? Any advice would be great.
whenever you go out wear mask . continue the inhalers given. if you have too much cough take one course of antibiotic

My wife's been dealing with a persistent cough for about 15 days, and she had a fever at the beginning, but it went away after 3 days. The same thing happened around this time last year, but back then, it was just a cough that stuck around for a month without the fever. We saw a doctor, and he ran some testsCT Chest showed consolidation in the right upper chest, and last years X-ray showed the same thing while the cough was there, but it went back to normal after a month. Her lab results came back with HB10, ESR99, TLC 3800, Platelets 1.1 lakh. Sputum AFB is negative from 3 samples, but the QuantiFeron Gold test is positive. There are no signs of weight loss or appetite changes. The doctor suspects it might be TB and started her on a regimen with Rifampicin, INH, Pyrazinamide, Ethambutol, and Pyridoxine. I'm just wondering because this issue occurred last year and now again but not in between. Should we stick with the treatment plan? Any insights would be appreciated.
yes it is better to take tuberculosis medicine, rather than complicating the condition

I've got a bit of a concern and would love some insight. So, around 15 years ago, I dealt with pleural effusion, but everything got sorted out with the treatment, and I haven't really had any lung issues since. Now, I've been told to take Montair for about 4 months because my IGE levels are up and I've got this moderate cough. I'm just wondering if taking Montair might cause any side effects related to the lungs? Is it genuinely safe to keep taking it for about 5 months? Just want to make sure I'm not overlooking anything.
Montair LC (montelukast and levocetirizine) is generally safe for long-term use in managing allergic conditions and cough. Given your history of pleural effusion, it's important to monitor your lung health, but the medication typically does not have direct harmful effects on the lungs. Always follow your doctor's advice and report any unusual symptoms.
