I've been having a tough time with wheezing, chest congestion, and breathing issues whenever the weather changes or I'm around dust. I'm allergic to dust and pollution, and it's really becoming a problem. Sometimes, I have to rely on my inhaler, but I'm trying to find a way to live a healthier life without having to use it so much. Any advice on how I can manage this better and reduce my inhaler use?

I've been noticing something unusual when I sleep. I recorded myself and it turns out I breathe really heavily on the exhale, making this strange hissing sound. Do you have any idea what this could be?

Hey, so I've been having this recurring issue with a cough ever since I had a chest infection back in August 2019. The doctors initially gave me some antibiotics, Augmentin, for 5 days but my cough didn't go away completely. After that, I was on monocef and dexona injections for another 5 days, which did help. But ever since then, my cough keeps coming back sometimes. It's weird because it happens in the morning or just randomly without any trigger, and I'm super careful about avoiding chilled stuff. I had some tests done, and while my CBC was fine, my lymphocytes were a bit high, and my IgE levels were elevated too. Based on this, the doctor suggested it might be allergies and prescribed montelukast and levocetirizine. My x-ray and PFT were fine too. Even after the medication, the cough shows up without warning and then disappears on its own. It's really frustrating, and I'm wondering if there's something more I should be doing to deal with this cough and maybe even bring down the IgE levels. Any advice would be really appreciated.

avoid allergens, drink warm water

I've been dealing with a cough for 1214 days, and it's probably due to my dust allergy. I visited a doctor last week, and he prescribed Macpod 200, Montek LC, and Rapitus plus syrup. But over the last couple of days, I've developed a fever and I'm feeling really weak. What should I do? Is this something to be worried about?
