I struggle with breathing every April and October and need to use a Rotahaler in emergencies. I get a tight chest, wheezing, cough, and cold, and this happens with every change of the weather. Some doctors have mentioned it might be due to sinus issues. How can I manage or find relief from asthma or bronchitis?

I've been smoking for about 3 years and decided to quit a few weeks ago, but I'm having these random pains in my chest and back where I used to feel inflammation when I smoked. Is this normal after quitting? Should I be worried about these pains, or is it just part of my body adjusting to not smoking anymore?

Having this dry cough for over a week now and I remember that Dr. Srinath Karthick recommended LUPITUS syrup and BUDATE 200 Lupihaler capsules a year back. I still have some of the syrup and started taking it again, but it seems I really need those BUDATE 200 capsules to fully get better. The problem is they're not available in the market now. Could you suggest any alternative medicine I could try? I'm really hoping to kick this cough soon!

Budesonide 200mcg capsules is advised to the patient whenever episodes of breathing difficulty.
