Chest & Breathing Problems
Cough and wheezing
There is too much cold in delhi and I am having chest congestion from last 3-4 days and dry cough ...1st day I had wheezing problem and very bad back ache with shortness of breath so I taken doctor prescribed medicine Lcin 500 and doxovent 400 Along with this I nebulised my self.. symptoms are better now but still dry cough is there.although, Same thing happened 1.5 years back in winters only . I am worried is this because of cold weather or it is something serious asthma ? Does wheezing and dry cough means asthma ? I got afraid by googling these symptoms.

Dry cough since 7 years
I am having dry cough (it itches on my back of the throat) since since 7 years. The cough intensity varies from day to day but it has always been there every single day since 2015. Cough syrups suprress it for sometime. No treatment has worked for me till date. I have done bronchoscopy and allergy test. Bronchoscopy report was normal. I am allergic to certain allergens which i try to stay away from. Ige always ranges between 200 to 400.
Whenever i go to any doctor they give me inhalers like foracort, aerocort and sereflo. But whenever i use inhalers it increases my chest irritation and cough. Can anyone explain why?

Needle Biopsy
My 67 yr old mother has decided to go for needle biopsy after listening to all the advice from all doctors but she has a regular cough.. I'm worried that what would happen if she coughs during the procedure? Should we do something or will the doctor doing the procedure do something about this? We have ten days left, any precautions we should take before going in?
