I'm concerned about my mom's health. She's been diagnosed with bronchitis and the doctor has prescribed her budecort 200 rotocap capsules. I'm wondering if it's safe for her to continue taking these capsules. Could there be any potential side effects or interactions we should be aware of? Would appreciate your insight.

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with diabetes for a while now, and she's also got this congestion thing going on. The doctors said it's COPD, and she's using a nebuliser and taking Seroflo. I'm just wondering, with all these conditions together, is there something specific we should be doing to help manage her symptoms better or any other treatments we should consider?

I've had this cough for about 45 days now and didn't really think much of it at first. I assumed it was just a regular cough, but today it started hurting on the right side of my chest when I cough. I'm using dry cough syrup at the moment, but should I be taking any other precautions? How can I avoid this chest pain when I cough?
