Cough and cold problem

For the past 21 days iam having cough there is no fever and body pains but little bit itchy feeling in throat.I have consulted a physician in a charitable hospital and he prescribed x ray and tb medical tests.The reports are normal and he prescribed me one antibiotic tablet and gocof syrup, but still the cough is not cured.Again he prescribed me pulmonary function test.What's this problem and how can I clear this?Iam a teacher and also a fitness guy. But iam not doing any workouts now iam just doing walking. I don't know how it was spread to me, i remember that I touched so many little students on their cheeks and mouths because of their cute words, and at that time so many students got sick with fever. Is it spreaded from my students, When iam teaching iam getting cough but it's neither worse cough nor normal cough it's like moderate to above average level. How can I clear all these problems.

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.

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.

Recurring Early Morning Breathing Issues

Dear Doctor, I need advice for a chronic breathing issue ongoing for 2-3 years. Every morning, I experience heavy pain, severe difficulty breathing, heavy chest congestion, and a blocked nose. I pass slippery, transparent-to-whitish, sometimes stringy mucus that feels impossible to clear completely. This used to last 1-2 hours, but over the past few days, it has worsened and now lasts 3-4 hours before returning to normal for the rest of the day. I also have long-standing sneezing fits (at least 3 sneezes in a row), triggered by dust/blankets and occasionally occurring randomly. I do not have sinus pain or headaches. I live in a high-pollution, heavy-traffic area and tend to feel cold easily, preferring to keep my torso covered. Could this be allergic asthma, severe allergic rhinitis, or pollution-related airway inflammation? Please advise on diagnostic tests, appropriate prescription treatments, and management strategies.

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.
