Question 1

I'm pregnant and my doctor prescribed Asthalin for my breathing problems, but Im really worried about using it. Is it safe during pregnancy? If not, could you recommend any other inhaler that would be safer for me to use?

Accepted Answer

During pregnancy, it's important to avoid unnecessary medications, but inhalers like Salbutamol (a short-acting bronchodilator) are generally considered safe for asthma management. Always consult your doctor before starting any medication to ensure it's the best option for you and your baby.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

It's great that you're trying to reduce your smoking, but lung patches can sometimes raise concerns during medical exams. However, cutting down to 5 cigarettes a day is a positive step. It's important to be honest during the examination and follow your healthcare provider's advice. Good luck with your visa process, and continue working towards quitting!

Question 3

Hi, Ive been an asthmatic for 10 years and I usually wake up 2-3 times at night to use my Asthalin inhaler, and also 2-3 times during the day. But Ive noticed that when I take Montek LC during sudden climate changes at night, I dont need to use the i...

Accepted Answer

It's important to note that Montelukast (Montek LC) helps control inflammation and reduce asthma symptoms, but it doesn't provide immediate relief like your inhaler. While Montelukast can help manage symptoms long-term, it's typically not a substitute for your inhaler in acute situations. I recommend discussing your routine with your doctor to ensure both your long-term management and immediate relief needs are addressed effectively.

Question 4

Ive been coughing up gelatin-like balls that vary in color and also feeling chest tightness and wheezing. Its making me really worried. What could be causing this, and how serious could it be?

Accepted Answer

Coughing up clear jelly balls may be caused by a buildup of mucus in the airways. This may occur due to allergies or infections such as common colds or flu, accompanied with dehydration. If symptoms continue for more than a few weeks, it is best to contact a doctor to find out the cause and get treatment. If the color of the mucus resembles yellow or greenish mucus, it may be indicative of a bacterial infection, which may require antibiotic therapy.

Question 5

Whenever I drink fluids, I always end up with a wet cough right after. I talked to my general doctor, and they said it might be mucosis. Is there anything I can do to fix this or manage it better?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing mucus buildup in your throat triggered by fluid intake. This could be related to conditions like acid reflux, allergies, or postnasal drip. Stay hydrated with warm fluids and avoid irritants; if it persists, consider seeing a specialist for further evaluation.
