I'm really worried about Manoj Asthana. He's dealing with a serious lung issue and was COVID-positive about ten days ago, but thankfully, his test is negative now. However, he's still needing oxygen support, and his HRCT score is alarmingly high at 24 out of 25. I've attached his chest X-ray and HRCT report. Could you let us know what steps we should take next? We're really anxious about his condition.

I'm really worried because my mom has been using Foracort 400 and Tiova inhalers twice daily for about ten years now, but today she accidentally took Tiova twice instead of once. I'm not sure if she should still take her Foracort as planned or skip it. What should we do?

If your mom has accidentally taken Tiova twice, it's important not to take another dose of Tiova today. She can still take her usual Foracort dose, as long as she hasn't exceeded the recommended limit for either inhaler. If she feels any unusual symptoms like increased heart rate or dizziness, please seek medical advice promptly.

I'm dealing with a really bad cough that's made my tongue red. I've been taking Rapitus three times a day, and while it's cut down the number of times I cough, it hasn't stopped it completely. I can't make it to a doctor right now and it seems to get worse at night. Could you give me some advice on what I should do?

Since Rapitus has not completely stopped the cough, I recommend trying Benadryl Cough Syrup 10ml at night before bed to help suppress the cough and improve your sleep. Additionally, you can take Benadryl Cough Syrup 10ml twice a day to further alleviate the cough during the day. Make sure to stay hydrated and avoid irritants that may worsen your cough. If your symptoms persist, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

I'm really concerned about this thing that's been happening to me at night. When I'm just about to fall asleep or sometimes even in the middle of the night, I'll wake up gasping for air. It's really frightening. I'm taking Olzole right now for my heartburn and gas, and I'm trying to figure out if what I'm experiencing might be sleep apnea or is it just because of my GERD acting up. It used to happen before but not as often as it does now. Could you help me understand what's going on?

Probable diagnosis is Gerd, patient is advised pan d ,orally.once daily for 14 days before food..Avoid spicy foods.
