I'm really worried about my mom who's been diagnosed with pneumonia at St. Luke's E.R. The doctor gave her medication for just 15 days, but she's still struggling with a cough that keeps her up all night and it's affecting her sleep. We're really concerned because she's not allowed to leave the house, and we want to find out if theres a different medication or treatment that might help her. Who can we reach out to for more advice? Would appreciate any guidance!

View allI recently went to a pulmonologist and was diagnosed with pneumonia. I was put on coamoxiclav antibiotics for a week and duavent for nebulizing. But it's been two weeks since my follow-up visit, and I'm still coughing up phlegm. The doctor has now prescribed me levofloxacin and zykast. I'm a bit worried since I'm breastfeeding. Should I be concerned about these medications? Also, why hasn't my cough improved?
continue the antibiotics and review

I'm a bit confused about the Foracort 400 mdi. Once I've started taking it, do I need to keep using it continuously? I'm not really clear on how long I'm supposed to stick with this dosage. Can you help explain how I should be managing it?
Foracort 400 MDI is typically used for managing asthma or COPD symptoms. If your doctor has prescribed it, it's important to follow the prescribed frequency, which could be one or more doses per day depending on the condition. If you're unsure about the timing or dosage, I recommend consulting your doctor to clarify the specific schedule based on your symptoms.

I've been using my revolizer inhaler, and no matter what I try, I can't help but feel like some of the medicine is just sitting on my tongue and throat instead of getting into my lungs where it should be. I'm worried I'm doing something wrong, even though I've watched all the YouTube videos and followed them exactly. Is this a normal struggle, or do you think I'm missing something? Could you guide me on the right technique or point me to a helpful video or document?
Seroflo inhaler sos is advised to the pt for wheezing.
