My friend has this issue where every time she smells something, she starts coughing and it's like her nose gets blocked or something. She's been using a Duolin inhaler and some cough medicine, but it only seems to help temporarily. We're kind of worried and wondering if there's an actual treatment to get rid of this problem for good. Any advice on what might be going on or what we should do?

I'm allergic to a lot of things, and usually, it starts with a stuffed-up nose, then my throat gets sore, and I get chest congestion along with a dry, whooping cough. Sometimes I take steam inhalation, breathing it in through my nose and mouth, but I'm wondering if that could be harmful in any way? Lately, I've also been feeling some chest tightness along with the dry cough and it's starting to worry me. Could you help me understand if the steam is safe or if there's anything else I should be concerned about?
If you are experiencing nose congestion, sore throat, chest congestion, and dry whooping cough, it sounds like you may be suffering from allergic rhinitis and possibly bronchitis. Steam inhalation can actually be helpful in relieving your symptoms. You can try using a steam inhaler with plain water or adding a few drops of eucalyptus oil for added benefit. This can help to clear your nasal passages and soothe your throat. For your chest tightness and dry cough, you can also consider using an over-the-counter cough syrup containing dextromethorphan to help suppress the cough. Additionally, an antihistamine like loratadine can help with your allergies. Remember to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the packaging for these medications. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to consult with a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm curious why I start sneezing whenever I have lemon water in the morning. Could there be a specific reason for this reaction? I'd love some insight into what's going on.
That could be due to allergy, identify the triggering factor and avoid it, maintain healthy lifestyle.
