I've been struggling to breathe for a couple of months now. I've tried a bunch of medicines for my chest congestion and even saw an ENT specialist who got me on this nebulization thing. But now, I can't sleep or eat, and it feels like I can't do without the nebulization. Can you guide me on what to do next or where to go? I'm really worried.

I've been dealing with bronchitis and asthma for around 4 years now. It tends to flare up seasonally, especially around September to October and February to March, and unfortunately, I usually end up in the hospital during those times. I'm also allergic to dust, and I'm not sure if these issues are due to my allergies, the change of seasons, or maybe both. I just had a chest X-ray done, and it shows a lung infection, plus my chest and lungs get clogged with a lot of cough during these periods. Could you give me some advice on how to manage or even cure these problems?

avoid exposure to morning cold. start taking steam inhalation atleast 4 -5 times per day

I've been dealing with breathlessness and had a fever back in 2016. The doctor put me on seroflo 250 capsules for whenever I get breathless. Luckily, it's only happened once a year in the winters, and I found out its because of cold air or dust. I've been doing okay for about 2 years now without any problems. Do you think I should be worried about this happening again in the future? Should I still keep any medications handy just in case?

carry medication and take when symptoms exacerbated

I've been a bit worried because about 10 days ago, I had a fever for a couple of days right after my dad tested positive for COVID. I just assumed I might be positive too, so I quarantined myself. Now, I'm dealing with sinus issues, but most of the mucus has gone away and I've barely got any cough left. I got a chest X-ray yesterday, and I'm really concerned about whether I should be worried about pneumonia, especially since I had that brief fever and no real cough. What do you think?

Take amoxclav 625 mg BD for 5 day to prevent secondary infection and pneumonia
