I'm a bit stressed out because I've been managing my bronchial asthma for 20 years using a regular puff of Forair 250 mg from Novacart, and it's worked really well for me. But I just found out they've stopped making it, and I'm starting to feel the symptoms coming back. Do you know of any alternatives I can try?

I'm really struggling with a persistent dry cough since I had COVID about a year ago. I've tried all sorts of syrups and tablets, but nothing seems to fully get rid of it. What do you think I should do next? Any specific medicines you could recommend?

take one course of antibiotics

I'm having some trouble understanding what's going on with my current meds. I've had breathing issues for the past couple of days even while just sitting or lying down. My pulmonologist gave me some medications: Budamate 200 transhaler, monteclc zostum o ab flo, and I've been on them for 2 days and do feel a bit better. But the inhaler makes me dizzy and my hands and legs feel weird. It's my first time using an inhaler, so I'm not sure if I should keep using it. The meds are for 5 days, so can I just stop the inhaler after that?

u can stop inhaler, use when ever symptoms are exacerbated and continue the medication
