I'm having wheezing for the past couple of days, mostly at night and not so much during the day. My doctor told me to use one puff at night an hour before I go to sleep. I'm wondering if I should gargle my throat right after using the inhaler, or if there's anything else I should be doing. Also, if I stop using the inhaler after 15 days, could the wheezing come back?

View allI was diagnosed with abdominal tuberculosis last month and I've been taking my meds as prescribed, but now my uric acid levels are up to 12.7. So my doctor stopped most of the TB meds and left me with just rcinex 600 and moximacgerdid. I've read that without taking the full set of TB meds like AKT4, the treatment might not fully work. Is it really okay if I stop taking Pyzina but keep the treatment going? I'm really worried about any future problems. Should I stick with rcinex 600 or should I switch back to taking AKT4?
stop pyzina tablet and continue the rest of the medicine

I'm really concerned about something I read recently regarding pigeons and lung health. It mentioned that pigeons can cause lung disease, including bronchitis and lung infections. Could you explain how this happens? Do pigeons release some kind of acid that's harmful to us when we breathe in? I'm just trying to understand why this might trigger such issues with our lungs.
Yes,avoid contact with the pigeons.

I'm really worried about this issue I've been having with my lungs. A year ago, I had an X-ray that showed my lungs fields are broncho vascular prominent, and I've been experiencing shortness of breath since then. My doctor didn't prescribe any medicine or treatment at the time, and now I'm unsure what to do. Is this condition treatable? What steps should I take to manage my symptoms?
