Question 1

I'm really struggling with my asthma and sinus issues. My dad has asthma too, so it seems like it's something we're both dealing with. I've been on medication prescribed by my doctor for the last 3 years, like budamate 400 nasal spray and montair 10, but they haven't been helping much. Recently, I went to CMC Vellore, and my doctor there suggested I try budecort 200, fexinase, and lukotas for six months. But despite trying all this, I still get fevers and colds quite frequently, and I recently had a bout of influenza. Now, I'm having chest pain, and it's making breathing feel really heavy. It's like my problem is only getting worse, especially when the weather changes. I avoid cold things, but it doesn't seem to help much. I'm just really curious about whether asthma is ever totally curable because it seems to just keep coming back. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

Continue all the medications as advised by the physician.

Question 2

I've been dealing with bronchitis and it's really getting to me. Every time I see a doctor, it seems to help a little but then in just a week, I'm back to having a cough and feeling breathless again. It's really taking a toll on me. What could be causing these recurring symptoms? Is there something else I should be doing or asking my doctor about?

Accepted Answer

tab amoxicillin for 5 days and tab acetylcysteine for 3 days

Question 3

I'm really worried about my mom's health. She got COVID and even though she's better now, the docs say it messed with her lungs. I got her CT scan report but can't make sense of the medical terms. Could you help me understand how her lungs are doing? Is there anything serious to worry about, like needing treatment or surgery?

Accepted Answer

Physician opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm really worried about ILD and whether it's curable or not. I've read online that people with ILD only live for about 3 to 5 years. Is that true? Is there anything specific I can do to help manage this disease? Id really appreciate any advice or remedies you can suggest.

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.
