I've been having frequent asthma attacks and it seems like my current meds, Foracort rotacaps and Levolin, aren't really doing the trick. There's no fever or sneezing, and my PFT results show moderate obstruction. I'm not a smoker either. I've already talked to a bunch of pulmonologists, but I'm still struggling. What would you recommend for better treatment?

I've been dealing with a cold and cough recently. My nose was stuffy and stayed that way for about three days, plus I had a burning throat for two days. I also had a fever for a day, but now, it's just the cough that's bothering me. It feels like there's mucus getting stuck in my throat. No other symptoms otherwise, but yesterday morning, some blood appeared in my sputum when I woke up. I had to cough pretty hard to clear my throat, but then I noticed a bit of blood again in the evening. Is this something I should be worried about? I took paracetamol and different cough syrups initially and montelukast for four days. I'm not taking any medicine now. Do you think I need to take something else?

That could be bronchitis,take adequate rest and consume balanced diet,visit physician for appropriate management

I'm having some breathing issues at night and it's getting worrisome. My family doc mentioned Montair LC and Fluticone FT which help when I use them, but it seems like this problem is becoming constant. Do you have any advice or ideas on what might be happening?

I developed fibrotic bands after having COVID and I'm wondering if it's safe to use TrueBasics Lungs Detox along with Pulmocare powder. I'm a bit worried about whether TrueBasics Lungs Detox might have any side effects. Can you give me some advice on this?

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.
