I'm trying to figure out the difference between an MDI inhaler and an MDI transhaler. I know transhalers are used with transpacers, but is there anything else that sets them apart? Like, are there differences in how they work, how effective they are, or even side effects? I'd love to get some insight on this.

Transhalers are easy,and delivery of the drug is much assured.if you have good hand, mouth co ordination, Mdi are also good.if you do not have good co ordination, transhalers are best.

View allI had a fever last week and also a cough for about three days. For the past three mornings, I've been noticing blood in my sputum for about 5 to 10 minutes, then nothing the rest of the day. I still have an occasional cough. Should I be worried about this? I've attached my chest X-ray and CBC. Could you take a look and let me know?
The presence of blood in your sputum, known as hemoptysis, can have various causes such as infections, inflammation, or more serious conditions like pneumonia, bronchitis, or even pulmonary embolism. Considering your symptoms and test results, I recommend a course of antibiotics to treat any underlying infection. Additionally, an antitussive medication can help with your cough. It is crucial to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been non-stop coughing for three days now and the longest I can go without coughing is just a minute or two. There's a lot of phlegm and it's painful when I take deep breaths. I've already tried using my rescue inhaler and the nebulizer, but I'm still coughing a lot and wheezing. What could be going on, and what else can I do?
continue nebulization and take cough syrup ascoril twice a day

Hey, just wanted a second opinion about my abdominal tuberculosis treatment. My doctor stopped RHE FD and Pyzina and now has me on R Cinex 600 and Moximac. My uric acid level is 12.7. About 1.5 years ago, I had extra pulmonary TB, and despite finishing 9 months of AKT4, TB's been diagnosed again after a recent CT scan because I had upper abdomen pain. I dont have any TB symptoms or side effects from meds this time. Is the treatment plan right? How can I contact online for more details?
Continue same treatment as advised by the physician.
