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 smoking since 2015, going through about 30-35 packs a week, but I quit around 9-10 months ago. Lately, I've been having these chest pains and it's kind of hard to breathe sometimes. What should I do about that?

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with asthma and is on ipravent and foracort nebulizers every day. Plus, she's got allergies to some meds like the mox group and managing her BP with telma40 and cilacar 10 mg. Her creatine level is at 1.2, so she's on nefrosave. I'm wondering if it's safe for her to get the COVID vaccine. Should she go for Covishield or Covaxin, or is there something else we need to consider given her health situation?

I'm dealing with a really heavy dry cough at night and it's gotten so bad that I can't sleep well. It's even causing stomach pain because I'm coughing so hard. This seems to happen a lot, like once a month, and then it sticks around for about two weeks. I've seen general physicians and they mention things like throat infections or seasonal changes, but it keeps coming back every month or two. I'm really trying to figure out what's causing this so I can find a permanent solution. What kind of specialist should I see to get to the bottom of this?
