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 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?

I'm having trouble breathing properly, especially taking deep breaths. I've been using doxophylline 650mg sr, but I feel pain in the right side of my chest when I breathe. Sometimes I even have to hold my chest just to manage it. I've tried anxiety meds and something for a chest infection, but I'm still worried. Do you have any idea what could be going on?
