Accepted Answer

A chest scar seen on an X-ray is usually due to a past infection, like tuberculosis, and cannot be removed with medicine as it is permanent lung tissue damage. However, you can consult a pulmonologist for a second opinion or additional tests to rule out active issues.

Accepted Answer

It sounds like your condition may need a more comprehensive approach. I recommend visiting a pulmonologist to reassess your asthma management and explore options like long-term control medications (e.g., inhaled corticosteroids). If you're experiencing frequent worsening, consider visiting a hospital with a specialized respiratory unit, such as a multispecialty hospital with 24-hour emergency care. If the symptoms worsen, don't hesitate to seek immediate medical attention.

Question 6

I'm currently using a Foracort steroid-based inhaler and was considering switching to the Seroflo inhaler with salmeterol. Are there any concerns or issues I should be aware of if I make this change?

Accepted Answer

Seroflo (Salmeterol + Fluticasone) and Foracort (Formoterol + Budesonide) are both steroid-based inhalers, but they differ in their active ingredients, with Seroflo containing Salmeterol (a longer-acting bronchodilator) and Fluticasone (an inhaled corticosteroid), whereas Foracort contains Formoterol (a faster-acting bronchodilator) and Budesonide (an inhaled corticosteroid); switching from Foracort to Seroflo may require medical supervision, as it may cause changes in asthma control, and your doctor may need to adjust the dosage or monitor you for potential side effects.
