I'm having a really hard time breathing comfortably. I can't seem to take a full breath through my nose, and it's really frustrating. I find myself breathing through my mouth a lot, and that's causing issues. I can't figure out what's going on. Could this be something serious, and what should I do about it?

I've been having this problem lately where I'm really short of breath, sort of like when I had asthma a few years ago. But it's weird because I don't have a cough or anything else with it. It's starting to worry me a bit. Do you think it could be the asthma coming back, or could it be something else? What should I do about it?

I've been dealing with a cough for over two weeks now. I had a similar issue with a chronic cough that lasted about two months before but improved until almost two years went by. This time, I don't have any other problems like headaches, body aches, or weaknessjust the coughing. I just got my sputum test results and they show gram-positive bacilli and gram-positive cocci in pairs and chains, with occasional pus cells. What's the best way to handle this? How worried should I be?

you need to take antibiotic course for the above sputum report

I've been dealing with this nasty dry cough that started when I had viral fever about two weeks ago. The fever and cold symptoms have cleared up, but the cough has stuck around and now it's less frequent but still there. The mucus has got this dark greenish-blackish tinge, which is worrying me a bit. It's been three weeks now, and I'm not sure what to do to get rid of it. Any advice on how to tackle this?
