Respiratory system:
a) Coughing
-Does the coughing come in bouts, is it a dry cough or a wet cough? Is it painful?
b) Sputum
-People with chronic bronchitis - and smokers of course- they bring up what is called "sputum".
People with tuberculosis would spit in sputum cups: it is disgusting.
Patients can cough blood sometimes because of their desease; they spit mucus with red or black streaks of blood
c) Dyspnea
Those patients are breathless, they run short of breath. Dyspnea is what the doctors coll that symptom. Breathlessness.
People with asthma happen to wheeze; the wheezing is induced by exposure to wind and dust and pollens or after taking a medication or even the wheezing can be provoked by stress.

The doctor decides according to the severity of the desease.
