I'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.

I've been smoking 23 cigarettes a day for a year, and I quit about a month ago. I'm really concerned about how long it will take for my lungs to start healing. Could you give me any idea about the recovery process and what to expect?

It takes around 2 weeks to three months to improve lung function.

I'm really worried about my mom's cough situation. We've been to the doctor, but nothing seems to be helping her. Whenever she starts coughing, it goes on for a long time and only stops when we nebulize her. It tends to happen around 8 to 8:30 pm and sometimes when she's eating. It feels like no medication is working for her. What could be causing this, and is there anything else we can try to help her?

take duolin syrup

My mom was admitted to the government hospital a couple of days ago because she had a really bad cough and her oxygen level was super low, like around 80 when we got there. The doctor said its a lung infection and gave her a prescription with some meds and injections. After taking just one dose, her blood pressure and pulse started going all over the place. I attached the prescription here. I'm a bit worried and just want to make sure these meds are okay to continue with. What do you think?

Continue same treatment as advised by the physician.
