Question 1

Hi Doctor, Ive been dealing with chest congestion and Im currently on medication including Mox, Budamate inhaler, and levocetirizine. I wanted to check if its okay to eat citrus fruits or drink lemon tea while using Budamate?

Accepted Answer

It is generally safe to consume citrus fruits and lemon tea while using Budamate (budesonide inhaler). However, be mindful of acidity, as it could potentially irritate your throat, especially if you're already experiencing congestion. If you notice any discomfort, consider reducing intake or consulting your doctor for personalized advice.

Question 2

My father has been diagnosed with the early stages of lung fibrosis after having COVID. Is there any way to stop or treat it? Are there any treatments that could help manage or even reverse the fibrosis at this stage? Please let me know what we can do.

Accepted Answer

Lung fibrosis, especially in the early stages, can sometimes be managed with medications like antifibrotics (e.g., pirfenidone or nintedanib) to slow progression. It's crucial to follow your doctor's advice, manage any underlying conditions, and focus on pulmonary rehabilitation to improve lung function and quality of life. Regular check-ups are essential.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

For someone with chronic liver disease, it's important to choose an antihistamine that has minimal impact on the liver. Among the options, Desloratadine is generally considered safer as it has fewer liver-related side effects compared to others. However, it's best to consult your doctor before starting any medication to ensure it's appropriate for your condition.
