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'm about seven weeks pregnant and I've been having this on and off wheezing and coughing at night for the past few weeks. Lately, it's been happening more often and it's really messing with my sleep. Sometimes I even struggle to breathe. I saw a physician who prescribed me Reswas, Cetrizine, and Drez gargle, but I've been on them for three days now, and it's not helping. What's going on? Should I be worried?

I'm really concerned about my mom's situation. She's 55 and had fluid buildup in one of her lungs. She's done with the treatment for that, but she's still taking medicine for TB. I have the fluid report attached, and I saw the term "malignant tumor" mentioned in relation to increased serum levels. Should I be worried about that? Is there something seriously wrong that we should know about?

Is there anything I should be worried about with the combination of the vaccine and my asthma treatment?
