Im 5 months pregnant and I have scoliosis, which has damaged one of my lungs due to my spine's curvature. I had TB back in 2015 and started experiencing some coughing with mucus in December. After initial treatment, it didnt improve but got better on its own from January to February. Then in March, I had issues with mucus and breathing. My pulmonologist put me on Augment 625 in March, but it didnt help. After that, he prescribed a nebulizer with Duolin and Budesonide for 20 days, and that gave me a bit of relief. Recently, he prescribed Flutrol 400 inhaler and nebulizer urgently, but I'm coughing all the time now. Ive been told it might be COPD and old Kochs disease. Ive never smoked, so Im confused and a bit worried about being diagnosed with COPD. Can someone really have COPD without ever smoking? What could be causing my constant coughing?

View allI've been dealing with this choking sensation for almost a year now, and it really feels like I'm short of breath. I end up coughing a lot, trying to make it better, and it kind of feels like I'm going to vomit, but nothing ever comes outno vomiting, no sputum. I haven't had any fever either. I got a chest X-ray done a couple of days ago and everything seemed normal, and about five months ago, I had an HD Chest Scan, 2D Echo, and another X-rayall normal too. I'm taking Montek LC half a tablet at night and using an inhaler, but nothing's helping. What could this be?
take syrup ascoril twice a day for 5 days

I'm really concerned about my mom's asthma. The doctor recommended Xanilax SR 200 instead of Theoasthalin SR, but I'm not sure if this is the right choice. Plus, it's a bit pricey. Could you give me some advice on whether Xanilax SR 200 is a good substitute?
Yes, Xanilax SR 200 is a suitable substitute for Theoasthalin SR in the treatment of Asthma. Xanilax SR 200 contains Theophylline which helps in relaxing the muscles in the airways, making it easier to breathe. As for the cost, Xanilax SR 200 may be slightly more expensive than Theoasthalin SR, but it is important to follow your doctor's prescription for optimal management of Asthma symptoms. The usual dosage of Xanilax SR 200 is 200mg once daily, but please follow your doctor's instructions for the correct dosage based on your mother's condition.

I've been having some health issues that are worrying me. Last year, I had TB and got it sorted out with a CT scan. The main symptoms were blood in my sputum and nose. I finished my 6-month treatment in June 2022, but these past 3 months, I've been having this pain on the right side of my chest. The X-rays are coming back normal, but when I take deep breaths, that pain is still there. And for the last 5-10 days, whenever I do yoga or deep breathing exercises, a bit of blood comes from my right nostril. What do you think could be going on?
take one painkiller and start one course of antibiotics tablet. amoxyclav for 5 days
