My mom's been dealing with asthma for the last 35 years and used to rely on rotacaps inhalers, but lately, she hasn't been feeling well and is experiencing frequent asthma attacks. Shes needing to use nebulization every couple of hours now. Could you offer any suggestions or advice on what we might do?

I've been dealing with frequent cough, sputum production, body aches, sore throat, and nasal congestion for a while now and I'm really confused about which specialist to see. I've already visited ENT and internal medicine doctors, but everyone has a different opinion some say it's an upper respiratory infection while others think it's sinusitis. One ENT even recommended FESS surgery, but I'm not sure what to do since antibiotics haven't helped so far. I'm also a type 2 diabetic, though I'm not consistent with my meds. Should I try seeing a pulmonologist or stick with ENT/internal medicine?
Given your symptoms of cough, sputum production, body aches, sore throat, and nasal congestion, you should first consult with your primary care physician or an urgent care center. They can assess your overall condition, rule out any serious issues, and determine if you need to be referred to a specialist. If your cough persists for more than a few weeks, or if you develop more severe symptoms like difficulty breathing or a high fever, you should see a pulmonologist or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist.
