View allI'm worried about my situation. I had bronchitis three years ago and have been using an inhaled corticosteroid and fexofenadine regularly since then. But even with that, my doctor can still hear rhonchi through the stethoscope. Is there any way to completely get rid of the inflammation in my bronchi and stop the rhonchi sounds? Its even worse if I stop using the inhaler. What can I do?
you should not suddenly stop the inhaler, you should reduce its usage gradually. start steam inhalation

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been on COVID medication for a couple of days, and because of her long-time wheezing, the doctor told her to use a Budecort 200mg inhaler twice daily. But now she's having some loose motion. Is that something normal because of the meds, or should I be taking her to see a doctor? Her oxygen levels are around 98-99 and her pulse is at 102.
Budesonide 200 inhaler sos for breathing difficulty is advised to the patient.Avoid smoking and alcohol.Advised green leafy leafy vegetables ,fruits,mild aerobic exercises.etc Also tab ciplox tz 500mg orally,twice dailly for 5 days is advised to the patient.
