Question 1

I got an X-ray report that says there is an infiltrate seen in the right upper lobe thats ill-defined, and it looks like there might be small granulomata near the anterior part of the right second rib. It also says the right hilum is slightly retracted upwards. What does this mean? Should I be worried about this?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may have asthma or an allergic airway condition triggered by cold or night-time air. I recommend consulting a pulmonologist for a proper evaluation, including spirometry. Continuing appropriate long-term treatment, like inhalers, may help prevent recurrence.

Question 3

Im using a nebulizer for the first time and Ive been prescribed Duolin and Budecort. Can I mix them in the nebulizer? Also, do I need to add anything like normal saline (NS) when using them together?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Duolin (Ipratropium and Salbutamol) and Budecort (Budesonide) can be mixed together in a nebulizer for administration. However, it's recommended to dilute the mixture with Normal Saline (NS) to a total volume of 4-6 mL, as undiluted solutions can be too concentrated and may cause irritation

Question 4

Ive been prescribed Montair LC for 4 months because my IgE levels were elevated and Ive had a moderate cough. I have a history of pleural effusion from 15 years ago, but after the treatment, I havent had any lung issues since. Im wondering if taking ...

Accepted Answer

Montair LC (montelukast and levocetirizine) is generally safe for long-term use in managing allergic conditions and cough. Given your history of pleural effusion, it's important to monitor your lung health, but the medication typically does not have direct harmful effects on the lungs. Always follow your doctor's advice and report any unusual symptoms.

Question 5

Hi, Im using Duolin (2ml) and Budecort (3ml) for my nebulization. Can I mix them together in one round, or should I be using them separately in different rounds? Would appreciate some clarity on this.

Accepted Answer

You can mix Duolin (2ml) and Budecort (3ml) in one nebulization session, as they are commonly used together for combined bronchodilator and anti-inflammatory effects. Just ensure you follow your doctor's instructions and the prescribed dosage for your condition.

Question 6

I've been feeling breathless for the past two days and noticed swelling in my right leg and hand. I'm taking Dytor 40mg a day, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Should I be concerned or is there something else I need to do?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you might be experiencing fluid retention, which could be related to heart or kidney function. Since you're on Dytor without improvement, it's important to follow up with a doctor urgently for a thorough evaluation, including heart and kidney function tests, to determine the cause of your symptoms.
