I'm really worried about my mom. She's been on COVID medication for a couple of days, and because of her long-time wheezing, the doctor told her to use a Budecort 200mg inhaler twice daily. But now she's having some loose motion. Is that something normal because of the meds, or should I be taking her to see a doctor? Her oxygen levels are around 98-99 and her pulse is at 102.

I'm curious about the benefits of taking turmeric steam for shortness of breath. I've been doing it for over a month now. I've also had a chest x-ray that showed no issues, and I'm on medication suggested by a pulmonologist from this app. I don't have any cold, fever, or cough. The doctor mentioned it might be due to acidity and anxiety, but I find myself needing to take deep breaths every 34 minutes or so. I don't eat much and just do some light walking in my parking lot because of the lockdown. I had been using duolin and easebreath nebulization but decided to stop and stick with turmeric steam instead. I'm also taking RabletD and Abflo, with just two doses left. What do you think about this approach?

Turmeric steam may provide some comfort but doesnt directly address shortness of breath caused by acidity or anxiety. Its good that your chest X-ray is normal and you're following your pulmonologists advice. Continue your prescribed medications (Rablet-D and AB-Flo), stay hydrated, and practice relaxation techniques to manage anxiety. If symptoms persist, follow up with your doctor.

I'm dealing with some breathing issues, like shortness of breath, and it's been more than 10 years. I've gone to various doctors, and they said it's allergies. So, I went to see a pulmonologist. They suggested I do FENO and PFT tests. My FENO result came back as 19 ppb, and PFT was normal. They gave me a Foracart 200 inhaler and some meds for allergies, but it's been five days and I haven't noticed a difference. Should I be worried, or could this take more time? What should I do next?

I've been dealing with a dry cough for the last three days and I've already tried Asthakind syrup twice a day for two days, but it hasn't helped at all. What else can I do or try to get some relief? Could there be something else going on that I should be worried about?
