I'm really worried because ever since I had a viral infection, I've been dealing with this persistent cough and wheezing that just won't go away. It even flares up when I'm talking sometimes. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned about it being something more serious?

I've been dealing with asthma and using a Foracort inhaler, but recently I've been having a lot of issues with a runny nose and lots of sneezing. I'm not sure if this might be rhinitis or not. What do you think, and could you suggest some medication that might help with the runny nose?

Ive had a cough with mucus for the past 15 days. It's gotten a bit better, but its still there. Should I be worried about this, or get a chest X-ray? And is there a chance my 1.7-year-old baby could catch it from me?
