I'm dealing with this dry cough that just won't go away. It's been ages, and nothing seems to come up when I cough. I've already gone to the hospital and got tested. The docs gave me some tablets and did an X-ray too. But even after all of this, the cough hasnt stopped. One of the doctors mentioned it's not TB and said my chest looks clear. So what else could be causing this? I'm 26, don't smoke, and only drink alcohol on rare occasions and in small amounts. Just trying to figure out what's going on here.

That could be either allergic bronchitis or pharyngitis, visit Physician for appropriate management and consume warm liquids and fruits for better healing.

I'm really worried about my brother. He's a regular smoker and has been having a morning cough, occasional breathing issues, and sometimes even chest pain. He recently got some test results back, and it seems like his hemoglobin is high, his PCV is at the upper limit, and his vitamin D is low. I'm not sure what these mean or what steps he should take next?
do chest x ray

I'm currently using a Seroflo 250 inhaler and I've read that it contains steroids. I'm a bit concerned about having to use this medication for the rest of my life. Could you please explain if there are any potential side effects or complications I should be aware of? I'm really looking for some clarity on this.
Long-term use of Seroflo 250 inhaler, containing Salmeterol and Fluticasone (a steroid), may lead to potential side effects, including oral thrush, hoarseness, coughing, headaches, and increased risk of pneumonia, osteoporosis, and cataracts; however, the benefits of controlling asthma symptoms often outweigh the risks
