I'm really struggling with a persistent dry cough since I had COVID about a year ago. I've tried all sorts of syrups and tablets, but nothing seems to fully get rid of it. What do you think I should do next? Any specific medicines you could recommend?

I've been feeling breathless for the past couple of weeks, but my X-ray and pulmonary function test came back normal. The doctor mentioned something about Telecast L. Can you help me understand what this is and how it might help with my breathlessness? I'm starting to worry since everything looks normal on the tests.

I'm experiencing some chest congestion and it's making it hard for me to breathe properly. I don't have a cold, cough, or any fever, but I find myself having to take deep breaths and sometimes even need to open my mouth to get a good breath in. What could be going on here? Any ideas or suggestions?

I'm really struggling with shortness of breath and breathing problems whenever the weather changes. It can get really bad, and I end up needing to use rotacap, foracort, levolin, and sometimes deriphyllin. On top of that, I'm also taking medications like fluconazole 200 and Allegra, plus Thyronorm 50 and Tryptomer 25 mg. I had my gall bladder removed two years ago. Can you help me figure out what's going on or suggest what I should do?
