I'm a 20-year-old student and I've been dealing with bronchitis for the past 10 years. Every April, I struggle with breathlessness and a lot of mucus in my chest, it gets pretty congested. I don't eat anything that would increase mucus, just stick to simple homemade foods, but it keeps happening. I use a nebulizer to help out, but I'm worried if this is something I'm going to have to deal with for life. Do you know if there's any way to cure this or make it better?

View allMy dad was diagnosed with sarcoidosis after a prostate biopsy, and he had a high ACE level. He's been on 32 mg of prednisolone for about two months now, but we haven't noticed any improvement. He's also taking clarithromycine, forcan, and augmentin because of high neutrophil counts. Im really concerned and just wondering, does it sound like hes on the right treatment plan? Any advice would be really appreciated.

My mom's been having these fits of coughing, and it seems like nothing we're doing is helping. I can actually hear her chest wheezing when she breathes, and it's really worrying. She's not on any medication right now, but we have no idea what might be causing these fits or what's triggering them. Can you give us some advice on what to do or what might be the issue?

I'm really worried because I've been having an irritated throat with a lot of coughing. Even scarier, I'm noticing some blood coming up when I cough. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?
The presence of blood in your cough could be due to irritation of the throat or respiratory tract. I recommend you take a cough syrup like Benadryl Cough Formula (dosage: 10ml three times a day) to help soothe your throat and reduce the coughing. Additionally, you can use a throat lozenge like Strepsils (dissolve one lozenge slowly in the mouth every 2-3 hours) to help with the irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.
