For a month i've been short of breath/coughing/wheezing. cipro/doxycycyline did not work. what could be wrong?

Asthma: Your symptoms suggest bronchospasm. It may have started with an infection (viral or bacterial), but regardless, antibiotics would not relieve your current symptoms. Bronchodilators and anti-inflammatory medicines are indicated. Please see your doctor for accurate diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up. You can potentially start to feel better minutes after correct therapy is begun!
