I've been dealing with asthma for the past 10 years and started using a medicine called Salbair I about a year ago. I've been taking it regularly and I'm worried if that's harmful. Should I stop using it, or what should I do instead? How risky is this medicine for me?

I'm really concerned about my dad's cough. He's had it for about six months now, and it's mostly when he's lying down, but there's no fever. Besides that, he's dealing with high blood pressure, diabetes, and some heart issues. He's been on c furo cv 625 antibiotics for a couple of days, which seems to help a bit, maybe 40 percent better. But what else can we do? Any advice or other medicines you think would help?

Continue the same medicine, that would resolve and visit physician for follow up

I've been dealing with a really bad cold and cough for a week now, and my nose is constantly running. It's making it hard to breathe, and the chest pain is pretty severe. I saw a general physician, but there's been no relief. The coughing and cold are making so much mucus build up, and the pain in my chest is unbearable. I'm feeling really weak and just can't shake this cold. What should I do?
