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.

I'm really worried about bronchitis and I'm trying to understand the different sounds a doctor would hear through a stethoscope, like ronchi, wheezing, or crackles. Could you explain what these sounds mean and how they're related to bronchitis? Would be really great if you could help me out with this.

I'm coughing a lot and my chest feels like it's aching when I do. Should I be worried about this? Is it something serious, or maybe just a normal cold? What do you think could be causing this, and is there anything I should be doing to feel better?

I'm really worried about my dad. He's 72, almost 76, and he's been having breathing issues. It's getting to the point where he can't even walk 10 meters without struggling. I think it's causing excess CO2 in his body and lower oxygen levels. Plus, he's finding it really hard to use his BiPAP machine, so he's not using it as much. He's also on a nebulizer. What should we do in this situation?

use nebulizer and steam inhalation
