The "Bio Ref Interval" being negative typically indicates that the test result falls outside the reference range for a negative result, confirming the presence of the virus.

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you've been managing a chronic respiratory issue for the past five years, using an inhaler and Montair LC tablets to help with symptoms. It's important to continue following your prescribed treatment plan, but if you're noticing any changes or worsening of symptoms, it may be worth discussing with your doctor to adjust your management strategy.

Question 4

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 5

Whenever I drink fluids, I always end up with a wet cough right after. I talked to my general doctor, and they said it might be mucosis. Is there anything I can do to fix this or manage it better?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing mucus buildup in your throat triggered by fluid intake. This could be related to conditions like acid reflux, allergies, or postnasal drip. Stay hydrated with warm fluids and avoid irritants; if it persists, consider seeing a specialist for further evaluation.
