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.

I'm in the military and ended up in Germany about a year and a half ago. Running's always been my thing and I've never had issues with it before. But then last August, out of nowhere, I started feeling this sharp chest pain when I was out on a run. At first, it didn't show up until around three miles in, but now I can't even manage a mile without feeling it. I got an inhaler and it worked at the beginning, but now it seems useless. I'm just 22, and I'm not sure what's going on. Any ideas on what this could be or what I should do next?

increase the dose of inhaler and increasethe frequency of using it

I'm really worried and need some advice. My son-in-law is having a really hard time with a chest infection that's turned into the worst case of pneumonia. It's so bad that he's on ICU now and struggling to breathe. The doctor currently handling his case is a general physician and seems good, but I'm wondering if we should consult a chest specialist since this is related to chest infection. Do you think this situation is curable soon? I'm just really worried and would appreciate any suggestions on what steps we should take next.

start antibiotics and consult pulmonologist
