I'm curious about something. I've had asthma allergic rhinitis for the past two years, but before all that started, I was able to donate blood. Do you think it's still okay for me to give blood now?

I've been dealing with a cough for about two months now, and it hasn't gone away. I got an X-ray done, and everything looked fine, and my CBC results came back normal too. But this cough just won't go away. What could be causing it and what should I do next?

Syrup corex DX 10ml orally ,thrice daily for 7 days is advised to the patient.

I've suddenly developed a cough with some white mucus, and I've noticed a small drop of blood too, which has never happened to me before. I'm a bit worried since I have young kids, a 4-year-old, and I'm wondering what kind of treatment I should be considering. Can you please advise on what steps to take next?

take syrup ascoril twice a day for 5 days and donot worry its quite normal

Namaste, I'm 28 and have had chronic asthma since birth. I usually rely on the Foracort 200mg inhaler, taking one puff every couple of days, and it mostly keeps things in check. Sometimes, I used to take Levolin 10mg if I felt the need. Now, with the COVID-19 vaccinations available like Covishield, Covaxin, or Sputnik, Im wondering if its safe for me to take any of them given my condition and the medication Im on. Is continuing with my inhaler after vaccination okay? Also, should I be worried about possible allergic reactions like wheezing or chest congestion similar to an asthma attack post-vaccination? Would really appreciate some guidance on this.

Patient is advised covishield vaccination intramuscular, 3 doses as complete immunization to the patient. Side-efects like rash,fever,nausea,headache and allergic reactions are fewer side-effects.
