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 noticing that I've been getting this really sticky, gel-like cough from my mouth lately, and I'm kinda worried about what it could mean. Do you think it might have something to do with my lungs? Also, which type of doctor should I see about this?

This can indicate excessive mucus production in your respiratory tract. This problem may be related to your lungs. You can consult a Pulmonologist for further evaluation and management. I recommend using an expectorant like Mucinex (guaifenesin) to help thin and loosen the mucus. Be sure to drink plenty of water to help with mucus clearance.

I've had a really bad cough for the last couple of days, and there's a wheezing sound when I breathe sometimes. I've been taking Rex cof syrup, but it hasn't helped at all. I did a COVID test, and thankfully, it's negative. I'm just wondering if there's any other medicine or treatment youd recommend for this cough?

I'm noticing some black spots in the phlegm that I'm coughing up. Could you help me understand what this might mean? I'm a bit concerned.

The presence of black spots in phlegm from your mouth could be due to various reasons, including fungal infections like oral thrush, poor oral hygiene, or inhalation of pollutants; however, it may also indicate more serious conditions like bronchitis, pneumonia, or lung abscess, so it's essential to consult a doctor or a pulmonologist for a proper evaluation and diagnosis to determine the underlying cause.
