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'm experiencing some issues with my breathing, especially when I go up the stairs. It feels like I'm getting out of breath really quickly. Can you tell me what test I should get to figure out what's going on?

The test you may need is called Pulmonary Function Test (PFT). This test can help evaluate how well your lungs are working and identify any breathing problems. In the meantime, you can use a bronchodilator inhaler like Ventolin (albuterol) as needed for relief. The usual dosage is 1-2 puffs every 4-6 hours as needed for shortness of breath.

I'm having trouble breathing when I'm lying on my back. It feels like the air gets stuck in my throat. But when I sit up and do some breathing exercises, things seem to get back to normal. This started around 8 to 10 days ago. I've also felt nauseous and had a tendency to vomit and I've been sweating for about 5 to 7 days. I don't have a fever, but I do cough continuously for about an hour or so. It got so bad that I went to the emergency room where they checked my blood pressure, breathing pulse, and body temperature. My BP was 15090. They gave me Razo, Montair, some cough syrup, and Betadine. But even after coming home, I'm still having trouble breathing when lying down and also have chest pain and a feeling of lethargy. Do you think this is serious? Can you suggest any home remedies? And when should I think about visiting the doctor again? The breathing issues are less serious than before, but I still have mild chest pain. Should I wait for about 12 days and see if it gets better before going back to the doctor?

do steam inhalation for 3-5 days atleast 5 times a day. if still symptoms persists visit a doctor

I'm dealing with a really bad cough that's made my tongue red. I've been taking Rapitus three times a day, and while it's cut down the number of times I cough, it hasn't stopped it completely. I can't make it to a doctor right now and it seems to get worse at night. Could you give me some advice on what I should do?

Since Rapitus has not completely stopped the cough, I recommend trying Benadryl Cough Syrup 10ml at night before bed to help suppress the cough and improve your sleep. Additionally, you can take Benadryl Cough Syrup 10ml twice a day to further alleviate the cough during the day. Make sure to stay hydrated and avoid irritants that may worsen your cough. If your symptoms persist, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
