I've been dealing with a persistent cough for the last two months, and its been pretty rough. Every time I spit out mucus, I get this weird dizziness. On top of that, I've been experiencing some chest pain. Its starting to worry me. Could this be whooping cough or something else? What should I do about it?

View allI'm really worried about this dry cough and breathing trouble I've been having for about a month. It's more noticeable at night or in the morning and worsens when there's smoke, like from an agarbatti. I get some relief with Divya Swasari cough syrup, but it doesn't seem to completely go away even though I'm on antibiotics from my physician. Could you help me figure out what's going on or suggest what else I might try to finally get better?
you might have bronchitis, take tablet amoxyclav for 5 days,twice a day

I'm a bit concerned because I've noticed strings of blood clots in my sputum a few times. It first happened twice back in September 2019, then once in October 2019, and now it's happened 45 times recently. I've attached a photo for reference. Can you share your thoughts on this?
That could be capillary bleed due to dryness,no need to worry have plenty of water and consume balanced diet,if its bothering you much visit ENT doctor of appropriate management

I'm really concerned about my dad who's 52 and has been diagnosed with COPD. He's had a bad cough for a while, and the doctor suggested he take Unicontin 400 every night. It's helped his cough a lot, but I'm wondering if it's really COPD since the doctor didn't do a spirometry test and my dad doesn't smoke. Should we go ahead and get the spirometry test done anyway? Also, I've read about side effects of Unicontin 400. Are there any other meds we could consider?
Its possible that your father has COPD even without smoking, as other factors like exposure to pollutants or genetics can contribute. Spirometry is a key test for confirming COPD, so it may be worth discussing with the doctor. If youre concerned about Unicontin 400's side effects, ask about alternative medications like inhaled steroids or bronchodilators, which might be gentler on the body.
