I'm starting to feel concerned because I keep getting this urge to take deep breaths every now and then, but I'm breathing normally in between. It's been happening for about 15 days now, and I'm not sure what's going on. Can you help me figure out what's happening?

Can I nebulate with both Duolin and Budecort for post-COVID care? How would I go about using them together?

Duolin (Ipratropium and Salbutamol) and Budecort (Budesonide) can be used together for nebulization, as they complement each other in managing respiratory symptoms; for post-COVID care, use as directed by your doctor, typically 2-3 times a day, with a common regimen being Duolin 2.5ml + Budecort 1mg2ml, but adjust frequency and dosage based on individual symptoms and medical guidance.

My dad is 64 and has had a fever and cough for the past four days. We saw a doctor who suggested a COVID test, but it came back negative. We met with the doctor again and were told to do more tests. Today, we got the reports, and his CRP level is at 32 mglitre, and the X-ray shows a mild haziness in the lower left zone of his chest. I'm really concerned and wondering what could be causing these symptoms?

I've been noticing that every time I drink hot tea, I end up coughing a lot. It's been happening for quite a while now. Also, my wife was recently diagnosed with a TB gold infection that's positive. I'm pretty worried and wondering what could possibly be going on here. Could this all be related somehow? What should we do?

Kindly, go for TB screening
