I'm really worried about my dad. He's been dealing with Asthma for a long time, and on top of that, now he's got this Marbu Sali thing going on for the last three days. He's been using Asthalin rotocaps a lot, like 78 times a day, which sounds like way too much, right? And now he's got a headache too. He doesn't have any bad habits but he just won't go see a doctor. I'm not sure what to do, can you suggest any other options or treatments that might help him?

I'm trying to cut down on smoking and I've heard that vaping and e-cigarettes might be a better option since they don't have tar. I'm curious if they really are a bit less harmful and if it's possible to gradually reduce the number of puffs too. I've noticed there's not much information out there. What do you think about this?

I'm just wondering if it's normal to still have a dry cough at this point in my treatment. Some days it's like 20 times, and other days maybe just 10 or none at all. I was diagnosed with a mediastinal lymph node through CECT and EBUS, and the cough has definitely gotten better over time, but it hasn't gone away completely. I'm about three and a half months into an eight-month treatment plan. Is the cough variation Im experiencing typical at this stage?

yes because of irritation and infection you will get cough
