I've been taking the pill Septilin once a day for the past year since I got diagnosed with a respiratory allergy. I usually experience coughing, chest pressure, and a whistling sound when breathing at night. I'm also on an anxiety pill, Vetodep 20, once a day. Can I get the COVID-19 vaccine, and if so, what precautions should I be aware of?

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been having this thick, yellow, milky mucus with a little bit of blood in it from his nose in the mornings. The rest of the day, there's no blood, just yellow-green mucus, even though it's been two weeks since he started antibiotics. He was prescribed Azithromycin for five days and Doxycycline twice daily. Twice he coughed up some blood, but it stopped on the same day. Now, he's mostly coughing up white, thick phlegm. This started after his fever went away. What do you think might be going on? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

My mom's been having these fits of coughing, and it seems like nothing we're doing is helping. I can actually hear her chest wheezing when she breathes, and it's really worrying. She's not on any medication right now, but we have no idea what might be causing these fits or what's triggering them. Can you give us some advice on what to do or what might be the issue?

I'm really worried about my dad's asthma. He's been using Serollo 250 for the past 5 years because his asthma specialist recommended it. However, lately, every time we get a new one, it seems defective and isn't helping much. His asthma symptoms are actually getting worse, and Im really concerned. Is there an alternative to Serollo 250 that we might be able to find at local stores? I've attached a pic of the product if that helps.
