I'm feeling really worried because I've had a fever for the past two days, and now I'm okay, but I'm having a lot of trouble breathing, and my cough is pretty bad. I was taking zentocol and paracetamol as my doctor suggested, but just a while ago, I started getting really dizzy and my chest is making a Gur Gur sound. Plus, there's this weird stuff coming out when I cough. What should I do next?

I'm having a hard time figuring out the best way to use my rescue inhalers. I usually use Ventolin when my asthma acts up, but switch to Bricanyl when it's really bad since it has a higher dose. But then I get these side effects like a sore, irritated throat and coughing. I've tried using fewer puffs, but that doesn't seem to help with the asthma symptoms. Any advice on how to manage this better?
