I'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with bronchitis and has had COPD for about two years now. We saw a pulmonologist who recommended AB FLO and AZEE 500 FARACART, but they haven't really helped much. She's still having a hard time breathing, coughing a lot, and there's a ton of mucus in her chest, making her lungs feel heavy. Can you suggest any other medicines or daily exercises that might help manage her COPD? She still does house chores like washing clothes and cleaning, but maybe there are specific activities or foods she should avoid? Any guidance would be appreciated.

View allI've been dealing with wheezing and a cold since last night. I took azithromycin 500 and a tablet with serratiopeptidase and diclofenac sodium, but now the wheezing has gotten worse. Should I consider taking methylprednisolone to help with the wheezing?

I'm thinking about getting a full body check-up, like from head to toe, and I'm kind of worried because I've been a heavy smoker for a while. What tests should I consider to find out how much damage smoking might have done to my body? Also, does a regular body check-up include smoking-related tests, or should I look for specific ones? Could you also suggest some good hospitals where I could get this done?
The cost of a full-body check-up varies depending on the hospital, but it generally ranges from 5,000 to 20,000 in India. For a smoker, essential tests include lung function tests, chest X-ray, and heart-related tests. Most full-body check-ups cover these, but it's best to confirm with the hospital. I recommend visiting reputed hospitals like Apollo, Fortis, or Medanta for comprehensive screenings.

I'm 28 and tested positive for Covid about 13 days ago. Since the 8th day, I'm finding it really hard to deal with this chest and throat issue. It's like mucus is stuck, and it won't come out or go down. Sleeping at night is a huge problemevery time I try to fall asleep, I feel this prick in my throat that comes with a lot of coughing, but the mucus just won't clear. My chest hurts and I have headaches from all this, trying to get the mucus out. I'm taking air fast tabs, tripofed syrup, ac long tabs, and I've even tried all kinds of home remedies but nothing's helping. It's driving me crazy, to the point I'm having really bad thoughts because of how uncomfortable this is. I've seen a lot of doctors, but no one's been able to give me the right treatment. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what I can do to feel better?
