Question

I'm really confused about my chest congestion issue I've had for a few years now. It always flares up if I don't take Foracort 200 or Citzen, which were given by my last doctor. One doctor said it's a dust allergy, but another mentioned bronchitis, so I'm not sure which one is right. I just want to find a cure and know what's actually causing this. Can you help me figure this out?

Question

I'm a bit worried about my husband. He had a viral fever, cough, and weakness. Thankfully, his fever's gone, and his weakness has improved, but he still has this cough. When he coughs, he struggles with shortness of breath, and even when he tries to take deep breaths, it triggers his cough. He's currently on Gudcef 200 and Windose tablets, as prescribed by the doctor. Any advice on how we should handle this situation?
