Hi doctor, my father is 67 and lives in Haryana where it's very cold. Every year he develops a wet cough. We saw a pulmonologist 2 years ago, and he recommended using Brozedex, Budecort Respule, and another inhaler, but I can't remember the namemaybe Levolin or Duolin. I'm not sure which one it is, and his doctor is out of station so we can't contact him. Can you help clarify which inhaler he should be using in this situation? He quit smoking in 2004 before his CABG surgery, but I'm worried about his condition.

It sounds like your father may be experiencing recurring respiratory issues due to the cold, especially given his smoking history and past CABG. The medications prescribed, such as Brozedex (a combination of bronchodilator and steroid), Budecort Respule (a steroid), and either Levolin or Duolin (bronchodilators), are commonly used to manage symptoms like wet cough and breathing difficulties. It would be advisable to continue these medications as prescribed but consult with another pulmonologist if symptoms worsen or if you're unsure about the third medication.
