I've been experiencing some breathing problems and chest pain, and sometimes I have a blocked nose too which makes it hard to breathe. Also, I've started having some back pain. I'm a bit worried about these symptoms and wondering if they could be connected. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

I'm a bit worried because I've had a cough for the past 23 days. I do a lot of data entry work on my computer and sometimes scratch cards too, so I'm concerned that maybe I've inhaled some silver dust. I've seen some dust on my clothes, bed, and even my rajai. Could this be causing my cough? What should I do about it?

I've been dealing with winter asthma for about 6 years now, and my doctor previously had me on romilast 10 and theoasthalin tablets for 5 winters straight, but they come with a bunch of side effects. Another doctor suggested inhalers might be better than oral meds, so this year I've switched to using a regular asthalin inhaler. However, it's not really cutting it; even after 4 sprays, the relief only lasts for about 4 to 5 hours. It's still a bit cold here at night in Kolkata, so the asthma is persistent. Could you recommend a better inhaler? Would Seroflo 250 be a good option?

take foracort inhaler twice a day for 5 days
