So, my younger sister has been dealing with allergies for about 10 years now. Her doctor recommended Budecort 100 mg, and she's been taking one puff a day. Normally, she's fine for months, but then suddenly, she starts to get a cold, dry throat, and sometimes a cough, and breathing becomes really hard for her. We end up needing to use a nebulizer in the hospital to get things under control. Do you think there's any permanent solution to stop this from happening?

I'm hearing a whistling sound when I breathe out, especially in the mornings. Coughing happens too, but it's pretty rare. I've been taking monticope and using an aerocort inhaler for relief when the issues kick in. Can you help me understand why this is happening and if there's anything else I should be doing about it?

I've had this cough for about 20 days now. Went to the doctor last week and got prescribed Pulmoclear and Telekast-F. But after taking them for just a couple of days, my cough has actually gotten worse. Can someone advise on what I should do? It's really concerning me.

I've been dealing with asthma for the past 10 years and started using a medicine called Salbair I about a year ago. I've been taking it regularly and I'm worried if that's harmful. Should I stop using it, or what should I do instead? How risky is this medicine for me?
