There is no scientific proof to methods available online to detox your lungs. Fortunately, Lungs are good at cleaning and repairing themselves unless there was any chronic damage done. You may follow some steps to keep the lungs healthy such as Quit smoking, avoid second-hand smoke, steer clear of pollution indoors & outside (Wear mask, use air purifiers), prevent lung infections (Hand washing, maintain distance from sick people, get flu/pneumonia vaccines), include anti oxidants in diet and do breathing exercises or any physical activity on regular basis.

I'm having trouble breathing properly and there's always this wheezing in my chest. When I walk, it's hard to catch my breath, and I'm also coughing a lot. I've tried taking azithromycin 500 once and using Dilosyn syrup. Can you suggest something for this constant wheezing? Are there any home remedies that might help? It's really frustrating.

I've been noticing a weird sound coming from my lungs every time I breathe. It's really thin, and sometimes I have a cough too. Whenever I work hard, I get short of breath. I haven't had any chest pain or noticed any blood, but the sound in my breath and the shortness of breath are concerning. What do you think might be going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing mild respiratory issues, such as wheezing or reactive airways, which can cause shortness of breath and a dry cough, especially with physical exertion. I recommend seeing a doctor to assess your lung function and rule out conditions like asthma or other respiratory concerns.
