I've been dealing with bronchitis and it's really getting to me. Every time I see a doctor, it seems to help a little but then in just a week, I'm back to having a cough and feeling breathless again. It's really taking a toll on me. What could be causing these recurring symptoms? Is there something else I should be doing or asking my doctor about?

I'm currently using a Foracort 200 inhaler and Nasonex nasal spray daily for asthma, which I got diagnosed with in 2018. I'm also taking Yasmin tablets due to PCOD. I'm wondering if it's safe for me to receive the COVID vaccine considering these medications. Could you please provide some guidance?
