I've been having this sudden trouble with my breathing, like my chest feels tight and it's hard to get a good breath in. I'm not asthmatic, but would using an inhaler be a possible solution to help me breathe easier?

I've been dealing with a breathing and chest problem for the past 10 days and have been taking Deriphylin OD 300, Defcort OD 12, and Montamac L tablets, but I'm not finding any relief. What's going on? Should I be worried, or do you think I need a different treatment?

I'm really worried about my husband. He's had this dry cough since last September, and it usually happens right after he finishes eating. It's like he keeps needing to clear his throat. Plus, whenever he's in cold weather, it gets worse. We've seen so many general physicians, but no one can seem to figure out what's going on. We did a chest X-ray and an HRCT in October of 2021, and everything came back clear. We also just checked his IGE levels, and they were at 1071. One doctor suggested he take montair fx for a month. Could you help me understand what might be causing this?

I'm just getting over the flu, but now I've got this dull pain in my lower left rib area. It's mostly at the front, but I sometimes feel it at the back, and it gets really sharp when I lie down or take deep breaths. I'm also noticing that I'm getting out of breath really quickly and need to take deeper breaths than normal. What could be going on here?
