I'm 28 and have been using Budamate 200 respules for about four months now. I haven't had any attacks during this time and stopped taking it a week ago without any problems. I'm just curious about whether I should stop taking it entirely or if I should continue. If I should keep taking it, how much longer should I be on this medication?

I'm a bit worried as I recently got a PFT report back, and it mentioned something about Small Airway Obstruction. I've also been dealing with this chronic cough for a while now. Should I be concerned about this? Are there any other tests I should consider doing to get a clearer picture of what's going on?

Salbutamol inhaler and budesonide 200 sos is advised for breathing difficulty.

I got diagnosed with Tuberculosis in Amritsar and recently moved to Delhi for better treatment. The new doctor here told me to keep taking the red medicine I got from the government hospital in Amritsar. I did another x-ray, and the report says there's still fluid in my lungs, but the doctor mentioned it should dry up on its own. It's been 15 days on this medication, but I'm still having trouble breathing, keep getting fevers, and my chest hurts a lot. Do you think I should consider fluid aspiration?

no, continue the treatment for 4 months then go for next procedure
