Answered on 25th July '24
RSV causes breathing trouble for grown-ups. With a cough, runny nose, fever and hard breathing, it can be rough. But most feel better in 1-2 weeks without treatment. It rarely kills healthy adults yet can be severe for some. The annoying cough may continue for weeks after the other symptoms fade. Resting up, drinking fluids, and symptom relief medications help most recover.

Hello, I am 30 years old. I have shortness of breath in the bronchi. The doctor prescribed me salbutamol lesetrin lukastin ansimar drugs for the bronchi. Can I masturbate while using these drugs?
Kişi | 30
Short breath in the air tubes can come from things like asthma or lung illness. The meds your doc gave you, like salbutamol, lesetrin, lukastin, and ansimar, help open up the air tubes and cut swelling. Touching yourself likely won't impact your issue or how well the meds work. Just follow what your doctor says and take the meds as told.

Male | 22
It appears that you may be experiencing some worrying side effects as a result of using beclomethasone dipropionate and levosalbutamol sulfate rotocaps for your asthma. Rapid weight loss, reduced penis size, and low semen volume can be linked to these drugs’ long-term usage. These particular adverse reactions are probably caused by the steroids contained in the medication affecting your system. Hence, you should inform your physician about them so they can prescribe you a more suitable treatment plan for your asthma which won’t have these effects. Besides, the doctor might also recommend ways of gaining weight and supporting overall well-being.

Male | 31
Serflo 125 synchrobreathe is good but you need something more. You may want to try using Budecort respules with your nebulizer. These will help reduce any swelling inside your air passages which should make them wider and easier to breathe through. Do not forget about following the prescribed dosage exactly as instructed. But do visit your doctor before starting the medication.
