I'm really concerned because I've been dealing with a persistent cough for the past two months. I've tried different treatments allopathic, ayurvedic, and homeopathic, but nothing seems to provide relief. It gets particularly bad whenever I'm near an air conditioner. Could you help me understand what's going on or suggest anything else I should try?

I'm having some trouble with my breathing latelyit feels like deep breaths are kinda stressing me out. And it gets worse when I'm in an air-conditioned space; it feels like I'm suffocating after just a few minutes. Do you have any idea what might be going on or any suggestions for what I should do?

That could be due to allergy,try to identify the allergen and avoid it, visit Physician for evaluation and appropriate management

I've been dealing with frequent cough, sputum production, body aches, sore throat, and nasal congestion for a while now and I'm really confused about which specialist to see. I've already visited ENT and internal medicine doctors, but everyone has a different opinion some say it's an upper respiratory infection while others think it's sinusitis. One ENT even recommended FESS surgery, but I'm not sure what to do since antibiotics haven't helped so far. I'm also a type 2 diabetic, though I'm not consistent with my meds. Should I try seeing a pulmonologist or stick with ENT/internal medicine?

Given your symptoms of cough, sputum production, body aches, sore throat, and nasal congestion, you should first consult with your primary care physician or an urgent care center. They can assess your overall condition, rule out any serious issues, and determine if you need to be referred to a specialist. If your cough persists for more than a few weeks, or if you develop more severe symptoms like difficulty breathing or a high fever, you should see a pulmonologist or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist.
