I'm just wondering if the Budamate 200 mcg inhaler could be harmful because I know it's a steroid. Is it as risky as other steroids? I'm also concerned about whether using it could lead to something like black fungus. I used it for about five days when I was recovering from COVID. Can you help me understand the possible side effects?

I'm really worried about my husband. He's had a pleural effusion in his right lung, and weve gone through a bunch of tests for TB. But it's confusing because some results suggest TB, while others don't. The doctor went ahead and started him on ATT, but now hes dealing with a lot of severe weakness. I'm wondering if this weakness could be a side effect of the ATT. Can you give some insight?

give him food with high protenicous diet. his weakness will be reduced

I'm a bit worried about these sharp shooting pains and heaviness in my chest. I also get really out of breath and start coughing even with just a bit of dust or smoke around. And if I try to talk while walking, I end up breathing heavily. Do you think you could help me figure out why I'm having these breathing issues? I'm a 25-year-old woman with a young child, and I've had two C-sections.

check your hemoglobin levels, reduced hemoglobin will cause above symptoms

My dad's been dealing with a fever since February 26th, and even though we started the meds I mentioned before, there's been no improvement. I then went to a pulmonary doctor who mentioned an infection after viewing the X-ray. I'm worried because apart from his hemoglobin level being 11, the blood test came back normal. They ruled out typhoid and malaria, so I'm at a bit of a loss here. Can you offer any advice on what steps to take next?
