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 got a bit of a concernmy eosinophil count came back as 9, and I'm not really sure what that means. My doctor mentioned it could be connected to asthma. Should I be worried about this? What exactly does a count of 9 indicate, and how does it relate to asthma? Id appreciate any insights you have on this, especially if there's something specific I should be looking out for.
An eosinophil count of 9% can indeed be linked to asthma, as elevated eosinophils are often seen in allergic conditions and respiratory issues like asthma. Its good that your doctor is monitoring it, and managing asthma with the right treatment can help regulate this. If you have more concerns or symptoms, follow up with your doctor for further clarification.

I'm really worried because I was asked to leave the UAE due to a lung x-ray showing a scar from what they say is old TB, even though I don't have active TB right now. I really want to return to Dubai but I'm not sure what steps to take to prove I'm healthy enough to go back. Is there a way to legally and safely address this scar with treatment or medications? Have you dealt with cases like this before where people needed to show proof of treatment to re-enter a country? Any guidance would be appreciated.
Consult a pulmonologist in your home country for a thorough evaluation, and obtain a medical certificate, including a chest CT scan, sputum tests, and blood tests, confirming the TB is inactive, then, with this documentation, apply for a fitness certificate from the UAE embassy or consulate, which may require additional testing or documentation, to facilitate your return to Dubai

What kind of treatments are available for this, and how can we help her manage or sort this out?
