I've been experiencing this weird, persistent cough once a day or so, and each time it comes with this white, sticky phlegm. It only seems to stop after I somehow manage to clear it all out. Sometimes I even have to force myself to vomit just to get it out of my throat. Also, I've noticed a whistling or wheezing sound when I breathe in while Im coughing. Could you help me figure out what's going on, and suggest who I should reach out to for help?

View allI've been dealing with asthma since I was 3, and for a while, around when I was 18 or 19, I was doing really well. I was playing football and doing all sorts of activities that aren't typically recommended for asthmatics. But in the last couple of years, I quit playing football, and since then, I've gained weight and my breathing issues have worsened. Now I'm back to relying on my regular medications like Alegra M, the inhaler Salbair, and Formoflow. Lately, I find myself struggling to hold my breath for even half a minute, and I'm going through an inhaler every couple of days. Could you suggest any tips to help me manage my current situation better?

I've been having some trouble lately and really need some advice. I'm 32 and have asthma, so I regularly use an inhaler. For the past few days, I've had a bad cough and cold. It feels like there's phlegm stuck in my chest, but no matter how much I cough, it won't come out. I tried taking Azithromycin, but it didn't help. Can you suggest any medicines that might work better? Also, I've been getting these sudden pains in my neck. I'm currently on pregabalin, nortriptyline, and myospas for it. Any ideas on what's going on or how I can feel better?
take tab mucinac for 3 days
