I'm curious about something. I've had asthma allergic rhinitis for the past two years, but before all that started, I was able to donate blood. Do you think it's still okay for me to give blood now?

View allI'm really worried about my grandma. She's got mild asthma, so sometimes her breathing gets really heavy. My aunt, who's a nurse, mentioned that using Duolin and Budecort in a nebulizer might help when things get tough for her. We've been doing it like once or twice a week whenever she feels bad. But when I checked online, I saw that the dosage and timing should be decided by a doctor. So, I'm wondering if it's okay to keep giving her these meds like we've been doing. Should we be using them together or separately? Whats the right dosage, and how often can we safely use them for her in the nebulizer? I'm really hoping for some advice here!
Hi, it's important to use Duolin and Budecort in a nebulizer only as prescribed by a doctor, as dosage and frequency depend on your grandma's specific condition. Typically, they can be given separately with a gap of at least 15-20 minutes, but please consult her doctor for personalized advice to ensure safe and effective use.

I'm really worried about my dad - he's in the early stages of lung fibrosis after having COVID. Is there any treatment or way to cure lung fibrosis? I've heard of it being difficult to handle, so any help or suggestions are appreciated.
Lung fibrosis, especially in the early stages, can sometimes be managed with medications like antifibrotics (e.g., pirfenidone or nintedanib) to slow progression. It's crucial to follow your doctor's advice, manage any underlying conditions, and focus on pulmonary rehabilitation to improve lung function and quality of life. Regular check-ups are essential.
