Respiratory Diseases

My cousin's doctor is away on vacation. Her earache happened as a by product of a cold which developed into bronchitis. She told me that she went to the emergency room and that they gave her some antibiotic eardrops but the pain is ten times worse since she started the drops. She has an appointment with her regular doctor next Wednesday. Is there anything she can do in the meantime to help alleviate her earache? Any medical advice would be greatly appreciated. I am also open to suggestions of valid alternative medicine including homeopathy and herbs although my cousin is more comfortable with allopathic medicine.

Sometimes I lose my voice for a while.

For many years now, I have had trouble breathing. Although I've been to the hospital and done countless tests, the doctors figured that there is nothing wrong with me. One doctor ruled out asthma, another one prescribed me ventolin. It doesn't seem to work.

Here's what my experience everyday.

I find it very hard to breathe and it seems that air won't go in my lungs as I want it to go in. I often have to take very deep breaths in order to feel comfortable. Often, it doesn't work so I have to try to yawn to be able to get those deep breaths in. If I am unable to get a deep breath, I have to get up and walk perhaps near something that will give me air (fan or window). It's been years and nobody has a clue of what it could be. They all tell me that it could be stress. I don't understand though. It happens all the time no matter what I do. Sometimes it's not as bad as other days. Sometimes, it's just hard to breathe 3-6 times a day, but other times,

I have really bad asthma and when I get an asthma attack it's pretty bad. I use my inhaler but it doesn't always help so much. What do I do to help me breathe better?
