My wife is in her last week of the second trimester and she's been really under the weather with a bad cold and fever over the past couple of days. Initially, she was taking Calpol 650mg twice a day, Augmentin 625 three times a day, Asthakind DX syrup three times a day, and Teczine once a day. Thankfully, the fever's gone now, but the cold has gotten worse, and our physician thinks it might be pneumonia, so he sent us to a pulmonologist. Today, the pulmonologist prescribed Mox 500mg twice a day, Allegra M once a day, Calpol 500mg twice a day, and AB Phylline capsules twice a day. I'm really concerned and wondering if it's safe for her to take AB Phylline and Allegra M during pregnancy. Could you shed some light on this for us?

I'm having trouble sleeping for the past week. When I first try to fall asleep, it suddenly feels like I can't breathe properly. I end up having to open my mouth just to get a good breath in. This has been happening every night for about half an hour right when I'm trying to sleep. I'm not stressed or anything, so I doubt it's anxiety. It's weird because I only notice this issue when I'm lying down to sleep. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

take steam inhalation half an hour before sleep.
