I've been having this wheezing issue since last night and it's never happened to me before. There's a lot of construction near my place, and it's super dusty. Now I've got a wheezing cough with greenish phlegm, and it's really tough to breathe. What could be going on?

I'm feeling kind of worried because I've been experiencing some heavy breathing on and off for a few days now. I have an allergy and I'm already taking montelukast tablets and using my inhaler with 250mg three times a day. The weird thing is, I don't have any trouble when I'm walking or jogging, and my oxygen levels are good at 98%. Could you help me understand what's going on?

continue the inhaler if symptoms exacerbated

I'm curious and a bit worried about something that's been happening. Whenever I cough, I notice a clear liquid, almost like saliva, coming from my mouth. It's got this salty-sweet taste to it. It's not discolored like yellow or green, just clear, but I'm unsure what might be causing this. Can you help me understand what's going on?

it might be due to some infection ,try syrup ascoril
