Phlegm chest asthmatic weather change

Doctor, I previously had fever and a sore throat, which improved after taking PCM and Zifi. However, I’m now experiencing a chesty cough with yellow-green phlegm, chest congestion, and discomfort while coughing or taking a deep breath. I have no fever currently, and my breathing is normal. I also have a history of asthma and suspect the symptoms may be triggered by weather changes. Could you please advise on appropriate medication to loosen and clear the chest phlegm?

Cough with wheezing since 2months.

Initially I had been to consult cardiologist for routine check-up,I complained about dry cough; They said that using Cardace-5mg & Amlong-5mg for long period;cough will come.Hence they stopped this medicine & prescribed Metosartan-50mg ,Tazloe AM 40mg .for cough Budecort-200mg for 10days. After taking this capsules cough has stopped,again after 20days it repeated;once again I took the same capsules,but this time it has not stopped. For temporary relief I have taken ALKOF-LS syrup; But It has not stopped till to date(2months) Requested to give proper advice.

Throat Dryness entirely Night

For the last 1 month, I have recurrent throat dryness and irritation with an urge to cough or clear my throat. Coughing gives temporary relief, but the irritation returns. During daytime it happens around 10–12 times, but at night after lying down it becomes much worse, sometimes every 5–10 minutes, making it difficult to sleep. I have allergic rhinitis and regularly stay in an AC room (26°C) with a fan. My AC has not been serviced for a long time. I have also used Foracort 200 inhaler. Could this be due to post-nasal drip/allergy, sinusitis, silent acid reflux/LPR, asthma, or dust/mold from the AC? What tests may be needed to identify the root cause, and what treatment/medicine would be appropriate?

Shortness of breath after B12 Injection

My B12 was 118 pg/mL. I received Casinerve Plus (methylcobalamin 1500 mcg IM) in my buttock on Friday evening. From Saturday afternoon, I developed intermittent shortness of breath/air hunger. Last night it became quite severe with chest heaviness. Sometimes when I take repeated deep breaths, I feel dizzy. My SpO₂ and pulse have been normal, and BP has generally been normal, sometimes slightly low. I want to know whether this could be a reaction to the B12 injection or another cause, and whether I should avoid another injection and consider oral B12 or another formulation.
