I'm really worried about my Bronco pneumonia. I've had it since I was a kid, and I've heard different things from different doctors. Some say it's due to allergies and might get better with time, while others feel the weather where I live isnt right for me. I even moved to see if that would help, but I'm still having asthma problems. Anytime I get a little cold, the coughing starts and my asthma flares up. I've been using Asthalin to manage it. Do I have to live with this for the rest of my life? Is there anything else I could try or look into?

I'm really worried about my son. He caught a cold back in January 2014 and then started coughing a lot, having trouble breathing too. A doctor prescribed budate 200 rotacap, which he used for two years. After that, everything seemed fine for about eight months, but then the symptoms returned in December. So we saw another doctor who gave him a Levolin inhaler. We've now consulted a pulmonologist who has prescribed formonide 100, deriphyllin od 300, and montair lc kid. How long do you think he should keep taking these medicines?

Continue formonide inhaler sos for breathing difficulty.
