I'm a bit worried about my mom's medication after she was discharged from the hospital. She's been prescribed Duolin 2.5 ml TDS and Flohale 2.5 ml BD for nebulization. I'm not sure if I should be mixing them together for her treatment, or if they need to be nebulized separately. Can you help clarify this for me?

Duolin and Flohale should be given separately when nebulizing. Duolin is usually taken three times a day (TDS), while Flohale is taken twice a day (BDS). Ensure theres a gap of at least 10 minutes between the two medications to avoid any interaction. Always follow your doctors advice for the best results.

I'm a bit concerned because my SpO2 level is 98, which seems normal, but I'm still feeling this suffocation when I breathe. I find myself needing to take deep breaths through my mouth. What could be causing this? Any thoughts or suggestions?

I'm really worried about starting to use a revoliser. My parents keep telling me it's something I'll have to use for the rest of my life, which makes me hesitant to start it even though it's been prescribed to me. They're big believers in Ayurveda, and I wonder if that might be a better option for me. Will I really have to rely on a revoliser forever? Could it become something I get addicted to? Would love some clarity on this.

I'm really concerned about my dad who has bronchial asthma. He's on tablets and uses a respiratory spray. We're thinking about getting a dog and I'm worried if that'll affect him in any way. His condition isn't too severe and he rarely experiences heavy breathing, but his PFT test interpretation showed severe obstruction. Right now, he's using Formoflo Inhaler. Could having a dog make his condition worse?
