Question 1

I've been dealing with asthma for about 10 years now, and it's really frustrating. I don't smoke or drink, and I eat meat, but I'm always just resorting to my inhaler. My family doc thinks it's just an allergy, but I'm really hoping to find a way to get past this. Do you have any insights on how I might be able to cure or better manage my asthma?

Accepted Answer

there's no permanent cure ,you should avoid the allergic agent

Question 2

I've had this issue with breathing for the past 15 to 20 years, and it's really been bothering me. Sometimes I can take a deep breath through my nose and mouth, but other times it feels like I just can't breathe deeply at all. My nose gets blocked frequently, and even after using Vicks, it opens up but doesn't quite give me that 'free' feeling of breathing. Also, when I sleep on my stomach, food often comes up to my throat, causing me to choke and wake up. My stomach feels bloated for hours as well. I've been told it might be anxiety, but I'm not sure. I can comfortably climb up to three floors, but anything more leaves me breathless. I've done an ECG, ABH test, BP check, and even a chest x-ray which showed some congestion but everything else was normal. Stress tests from six years ago were normal too, and I still struggle to understand what's going on. Could this really be anxiety, or could there be something else affecting my breathing?

Accepted Answer

Azeflo nasal spray is advised to the patient.

Question 3

I've been dealing with a dry cough for the past ten days and it's starting to really worry me. The doctors prescribed medications like Allegra M, Zerodol SP, Hetrazan, Medlor, and Azithromycin, but they don't seem to be working well. Plus, Ive been sweating excessively. Dry cough tends to be a common issue for me. Could you tell me if there's something else I should try or be concerned about?

I've been dealing with a dry and nagging cough for the past couple of weeks, and it's really starting to worry me. I've already tried levocetirizine tablets and several cough syrups geared towards dry coughs, but nothing seems to be helping. What should I do to find some relief?

take tablet mucinac for 5 days, two times daily
