I've been wondering about something. If a person can hold their breath for 30 to 40 seconds, does that mean their lungs are in good health? Is this actually true, or is it just a myth? I'd really like to know what you think.

I've been dealing with chest congestion and I'm on some medications like the Mox Budamate inhaler and levocetirizine. I'm curious, can I still have things like citrus fruits or lemon tea while I'm using Budamate?

It is generally safe to consume citrus fruits and lemon tea while using Budamate (budesonide inhaler). However, be mindful of acidity, as it could potentially irritate your throat, especially if you're already experiencing congestion. If you notice any discomfort, consider reducing intake or consulting your doctor for personalized advice.

I've been having a dry cough for a few days now, and I'm using Zedex cough syrup as my local doctor suggested. The problem is, the phlegm isn't coming up when I cough; it just stays in my chest, which is why the coughing won't stop. Could you offer any advice on what I can do about this?
