Am I prone to vertigo with allergic bronchitis?
You have been diagnosed with allergic bronchitis, which is causing coughing and dizziness. The dizziness you're feeling, known as vertigo, makes it seem like everything around you is spinning. Allergic bronchitis happens when your bronchial tubes react to allergens like dust and pollen. Your doctor may prescribe medication to help with the cough and dizziness. It's also helpful to avoid triggers like smoking or strong perfumes.

Is mucus blockage causing breathing difficulty for 1-year-old?
Respiratory mucus obstruction may be why your son is experiencing breathing problems, which can sometimes result in throat blockage. Coughing being the common symptom and difficulty breathing are other signs to look for. This blockage can be a result of a cold or allergies. If he is still alive, you can help him through the use of a humidifier in his room to make mucus easier to clear and whoop his back lightly a few times to help him clear his throat. If the issue continues or worsens, then you should consult a pulmonologist.

Should I seek medical help for fever and cough?
It could be a respiratory infection that is giving you a fever and cough. Such infections can be due to viruses and bacteria. Paracetamol can reduce your fever usefully, while coughing is your airways' way of trying to clean themselves. Encourage your body to be healthy by drinking lots of fluids and getting enough sleep. If the last couple of days haven't been the best for you and you feel even worse than before, then it is time to consult a pulmonologist.

Chest discomfort and wheezing, shortness of breath
Asthma makes breathing difficult. Your airways become inflamed and swollen. You feel tightness in your chest. Wheezing sounds happen as air struggles to pass through narrow pipes. Using an inhaler opens the airways. This allows air to flow freely. Breathing becomes easier, and more comfortable. Seeing a pulmonologist can properly diagnose asthma. Proper treatment helps manage symptoms.
