You expre­ssed worry about tuberculosis. TB affects blood te­st results like ESR, causing high readings. It cre­ates infections visible on X-rays too. Howe­ver, these signs are­ not exclusive to TB. Various infections or dise­ases produce similar effe­cts. The antibiotics not clearing the infe­ction is concerning. It suggests the ne­ed for different me­dication or further tests. Finding the root cause­ is vital.

Hello, good day. I have shortness of breath in the bronchi. My doctor prescribed me the inhaler Salbutamol and the tablet medicine allergy lesetrin lukastin ansimar. How long after using the inhaler can I drink these tablets? Is it harmful to use these medicines with an interval of 1 hour. Or how long between medicines? must be time.?

Kişi | 30

Asthma or allergies can be a cause of this. To open the airways quickly, Salbutamol inhalers play an important role. On the other hand, Leukotriene Modifiers such as Montelukast take longer working time as they reduce inflammation gradually over the airway passages. No problem if combined use is considered safe by the doctor. Both drugs follow medical prescriptions strictly.

I am using beclomethasone dipropionate and levosalbutamol sulphate rotocaps for my asthama i have asthma since i was 3 years old and that much of long term i am using it from 5 months facing severe asthama and using the rotocaps in frequently and i am losing my body weight very fastly and it is very tough to me to gain weight and my penis size also decreasing and also sperm low quantity is that the side effects for using it in long term and tell me the perfect solution for all me questions to over come it and live healthy without medication

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.

My daughter has had a pretty bad cough since Wednesday. We know it’s bronchitis, but we need some over-the-counter medicine for her to take. Do you have any recommendations?

Female | 13

if this is bronchitis, the problem is that there may be some swelling inside her lungs’ airways. It causes coughing, mucus and sometimes fever too. Give her lots of water to drink and let her have enough bed rest. Additionally, consider buying an OTC cough syrup with dextromethorphan for her. This will relieve the irritation in the throat making the cough less frequent and more productive. Do not exceed the recommended dose on the label without consulting a doctor or pharmacist first.

Swas lene me problem ho rahi enxity bhi ho rahi hai pain ho raha hai breath

Female | 22

These might be symptoms of asthma. Someone with asthma may find it difficult to breathe properly and they can also get chest pains. One needs to keep calm, sit upright, and use any prescribed inhalers if they have any. A person should also try to stay away from anything that might trigger an attack such as smoke or allergens. They can take warm drinks which will help them relax. If these signs continue or become worse then they need immediate medical attention.

I have Cough cold and fiver last 1 day some headache and feeling fatigue

Female | 49

You have recently caught a cold. Infections can lead to tiredness, headaches, and even fever as a result of a virus, such as the one that causes colds. To recover from your illness, you should mainly rest, drink a lot of fluids, and perhaps use some over-the-counter medications to ease your symptoms.

My lungs crackling only for 2-3 min, before 1 month i had dry cough and cold

Female | 22

If you’ve had a dry cough and cold recently, it seems like you might have some crackling in your lungs. This is normal. The sound could mean there is still mucus present. To remedy the situation, drink more water and practice breathing exercises. If it persists or worsens, take time off work so your body can recover.
