I've been dealing with a pretty bad indigestion issue. So, on June 1st, 2020, I just up and quit smoking. I was smoking about 45 cigarettes a day for the past 10 years, but I started cutting down in 2018 and finally stopped after two years. The first few months, I had headaches and an upset stomach, but recently I've had a bit of trouble breathing. When I do things like running or cardio workouts, I feel okay, but if I miss a day, I notice some shortness of breath and my throat feels tight. This has been going on for a month, and I've been feeling kinda weak, too. Is this normal, or could it be something else? I don't have any other symptoms.

View allI'm dealing with a cough that's been lingering for about four days now, and I've been taking azithromycin and asthakind cough syrup. It's been pretty bothersome and sometimes even gives me a headache. Just wondering if there's something else I should try or be worried about? Any suggestions would really help.
Considering you've already taken azithromycin (an antibiotic) and Asthakind cough syrup, here are some next steps: *Next Steps* 1. *Consult your doctor*: Schedule a follow-up appointment to reassess your condition. 2. *Cough syrup adjustment*: Ask your doctor if you can switch to a different cough syrup or adjust the dosage. 3. *Pain relief*: For headaches, you can try over-the-counter pain relievers like paracetamol (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil). 4. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of fluids to help thin out mucus and soothe your throat. 5. *Rest*: Get plenty of rest to help your body recover. *When to Seek Immediate Medical Attention* 1. *Difficulty breathing*: If you experience shortness of breath or difficulty breathing. 2. *Chest pain*: If you have severe chest pain or pressure. 3. *Fever*: If your fever exceeds 102F (39C) or lasts for an extended period. 4. *Severe headache*: If your headache is severe, persistent, or accompanied by confusion, disorientation, or stiff neck.

I've been using duolin respule directly for nebulisation without diluting it for about 15-20 days now. I'm starting to worry if that's okay or if there could be any side effects from not diluting it. Could this be harmful in any way? I'm really unsure about this and could use some guidance.
Taking Duolin respule directly without diluting it for nebulization can lead to potential side effects such as increased heart rate, palpitations, tremors, headache, nervousness, dry mouth, and muscle cramps. It is important to follow the proper instructions for nebulization to ensure the medication is delivered effectively and safely. To dilute Duolin respule for nebulization, you can use normal saline solution.
