I've been having some health issues lately that I'm getting pretty worried about. Last September, I had ear pain, a throat infection, and a cold. After visiting a doctor, I went through a round of antibiotics - Taxim O, Cheston Cold, Chymoral Forte, and Ciprofloxacin drops. Everything seemed to clear up, but then about a month later, I got a really bad throat infection again. The doctor then prescribed Yofix Az 250 mg Cefixime, Azithromycin, Chymoral Forte three times a day for a week, along with Syrup Gryllinctus for a wet cough and Betadine gargling. The throat thing cleared up after about 15 days, but now I'm dealing with something concerning. I cough up black phlegm, mostly in the mornings, and sometimes theres a tiny hair in it, plus Im having this slight feeling of breathlessness. Drinking hot water with honey and turmeric or apple cider vinegar seems to help a bit, but I'm still really anxious about it. With the whole lockdown and corona situation, I havent been able to make it to a doctor in person. What should I do?

I've been having this nagging cough for a few days now, and it's not really getting better. It feels like I'm trying really hard to bring something up, but nothing's coming out. Plus, there's this chest pain that kicks in every time I cough or even when I move my hands. Its making me a bit worried. What could be going on here, and should I be doing anything specific about it?

I'm having trouble breathing, especially when I exercise or if I'm around strong smells. I don't cough much, but occasionally I feel some chest pain. I've never had any wheezing, so I'm not sure if it could be asthma or something else. What could be causing this?

Salbutamol inhaler and budesonide 200 sos is advised for breathing difficulty.
