I'm worried about my situation. I had bronchitis three years ago and have been using an inhaled corticosteroid and fexofenadine regularly since then. But even with that, my doctor can still hear rhonchi through the stethoscope. Is there any way to completely get rid of the inflammation in my bronchi and stop the rhonchi sounds? Its even worse if I stop using the inhaler. What can I do?

you should not suddenly stop the inhaler, you should reduce its usage gradually. start steam inhalation

View allI'm experiencing some issues with my breathing, and I recently got my chest X-ray results. It says there are prominent bronchovascular markings in both lungs and mentions non-homogeneous patchy highness and reticular changes. It also notes that my cardio thoracic ratio is a bit enlarged and there's bilateral hilar prominence. A month ago, I tested positive for COVID, but I'm fine now and have tested negative. Still, I'm having difficulty breathing. I've had rheumatoid arthritis for 15 years and suffered a brain stroke 5 years ago. I've also had heart problems. I even got my cough tested for TB, and it came back negative. What should I do about these breathing issues?
Tab augmentin duo 625mg ,orally ,thrice daily for 5 days advised to the patient.Also syrup salbutamol 10ml thrice daily for 7 days is advised to the patient.Steam inhalation is also advised twice daily to the patient.

I'm really worried because my pulmonologist mentioned something about "allergic airway disease" after my PFT test. I don't really understand what that is. Is it serious? Also, the doctor prescribed me Ofloxacin O2 tablets and Fexodine tablets. Can you explain what these medications are for and if I should be concerned about taking them?
no its allergy ,the medicines given is good , continue it
