I'm really concerned about this cold and cough that keeps coming back, especially with breathing problems at night and in the early morning for the past three weeks. I saw a general physician and the medicine worked for a week, but the breathing issue starts up again as soon as I stop taking it. What should I do about this?

It sounds like you may have asthma or an allergic airway condition triggered by cold or night-time air. I recommend consulting a pulmonologist for a proper evaluation, including spirometry. Continuing appropriate long-term treatment, like inhalers, may help prevent recurrence.

View allI'm having trouble with shortness of breath when I'm talking and especially after walking up the stairs. This has been going on for about three days now, and it feels like I'm under a lot of stress just to breathe. It's almost like what Id imagine an asthma attack to feel like. I've never dealt with anything like this before. What could be causing this sudden difficulty in breathing, and should I be worried?
might be due to asthma or reduced blood

I've had an x-ray done today, and it shows that my diaphragm is a bit elevated. I dont have a cough, but I'm feeling some chest pain on the right side when I take a deep breath. I'm a bit worried and am wondering what could be causing this. I don't smoke and I've never had asthma. Do you think this pain will go away on its own? What other issues could this possibly be?
there might be variuos reasons for elevated diaphragm, but seeing your symptoms it might be related to increased liver size, check your bilirubin levels

My dad and husband both tested positive for COVID and they had a fever last week. The fever's gone now, but they're both coughing now and then, especially when talking, laughing, and sometimes even when sleeping. They're not having any chest pain or breathing issues, so I'm wondering if steam inhalation would help? Also, are there any warning signs we should be on the lookout for?
Salbutamol syrup 10 ml thrice daily for 7 days is advised to the patient. The signs include difficulty reathing,fever,loss of taste,chills,cough ,headache ,bluish discolouration of lips and face etc.
