Good morning doctor, my grandma had cataract surgery about 10 days ago, and before that, she was dealing with asthma and pleural effusion. Lately, shes experiencing some hoarseness when she breathes. Were considering using a nebulizer with budecort for her. Do you think that would be okay?

I'm really worried about my wife. She has a severe lung infection and her X-ray and CT scan reports show that her lungs are really damaged. The doctor mentioned something about her lungs being "sad gye hai." What does that mean exactly, and how serious is this situation? What are our next steps for treatment?

I've been dealing with constant wheezing even after using Budamate inhalers at 400 mcg three times a day and taking Montelukast. Sometimes the wheezing is really loud, and other times it's just a bit quieter, but it never completely goes away. It's winter now where I live. My peak flow meter reads 650. I'm really looking for a permanent solution to my wheezing. When might it fully stop?
