Question 1

I'm dealing with a really bad cough that's made my tongue red. I've been taking Rapitus three times a day, and while it's cut down the number of times I cough, it hasn't stopped it completely. I can't make it to a doctor right now and it seems to get worse at night. Could you give me some advice on what I should do?

Accepted Answer

Since Rapitus has not completely stopped the cough, I recommend trying Benadryl Cough Syrup 10ml at night before bed to help suppress the cough and improve your sleep. Additionally, you can take Benadryl Cough Syrup 10ml twice a day to further alleviate the cough during the day. Make sure to stay hydrated and avoid irritants that may worsen your cough. If your symptoms persist, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

Question 2

I've had asthma since I was a kid and used to take homeopathy for it, which seemed to help. It was pretty bad back then, with inhalers and nebulisers being a part of my daily routine. It eventually went away, thankfully. But now, after 15 years, Im having trouble again. My breathing feels offI have a slight cold and have been wheezing a lot since last night. I really dont want to go back on steroids. I've tried taking steam, but its not doing much. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

avoid allergens, drink warm water , do breathing exercises

Question 3

I've been dealing with a cough for a couple of weeks now, and it's starting to worry me. It feels really hard to breathe whenever I start coughing. Do you think there's a specific medication I should try, or is there a test I need to get done to figure out what's going on? Would appreciate any advice.
