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 a 28-year-old male and Ive noticed some blood in my spit, mostly in the mornings after I wake up. I dont smoke and I'm generally healthy with no cough or anything like that. I sometimes deal with allergies, so I'm wondering if that could be causing it? Ive had a chest X-ray and it was all good. I also occasionally have gas issues and migraines. What could be causing the blood in my sputum?

that could be because of dryness or you might be having Dns or so..visit your ENT doctor for evaluation otherwise as the quantity is negligibke you can forget about it,stay hydrated.

Im thinking about getting a PFT test because my doctor suggested it for peace of mind. A few months back, I was dealing with thick phlegm and sputum due to bronchitis, and my doctor prescribed some meds that got me back to normal. But just to be safe, I'm considering a PFT test and maybe a CT chest scan and lung scan. Are the CT chest scan and lung scan the same thing, or are they different? Also, what should I do to prepare for them? Any advice would be really helpful.

For the confirmation of diagnosis ct chest is advised to the patient.
