I've been dealing with pretty severe Khasi and cough for the last two weeks, and even though I've been taking medicine prescribed by my family doctor, it hasn't improved at all. I'm wondering if there could be another reason for this, or if there's something else I should be doing?

I recently quit smoking after more than 8 years, but now I'm having issues with some right lung pain and it feels uneasy to breathe sometimes. I've also been dealing with frequent colds. Are there any home remedies or tips that could help with these symptoms? I'm really looking for some advice on what to do.

I'm 22 and whenever I walk up and down the stairs, I get quite breathless. Can you suggest what I can do to help improve my airflow? Also, what kind of tests should I consider to pinpoint the issue? I've heard about the ABD testwould that be relevant for these symptoms? Plus, even a short 5-minute dance leaves me out of breath. Any advice would be really helpful.
