I'm really worried about my mom who's been diagnosed with pneumonia at St. Luke's E.R. The doctor gave her medication for just 15 days, but she's still struggling with a cough that keeps her up all night and it's affecting her sleep. We're really concerned because she's not allowed to leave the house, and we want to find out if theres a different medication or treatment that might help her. Who can we reach out to for more advice? Would appreciate any guidance!

I'm experiencing a bit of breathing discomfort after taking Ambrolite. I'm also on Ursocol. Could there be a connection between these medications? Should I be concerned about this side effect?
The breathing discomfort after taking Ambrolite (ambroxol) along with Ursocol (ursodeoxycholic acid) may be due to the expectorant properties of Ambrolite, which can temporarily cause throat irritation or coughing

I've had a persistent cough for the past three years along with frequent throat infections and mouth ulcers. I recently had sinus surgery, but the cough hasn't gone away. What could be causing this, and is there anything else I should look into?
Also called upper airway cough syndrome, postnasal drip is a common cause of a long-lasting cough. Allergies, viruses, dust, chemicals, or inflammation can irritate your nasal membranes and trigger runny mucus that drips out of your nose and down your throat. This makes you cough, especially at night when you lie down
