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 allHow can I check my lungs at home?
At home, you may check your lungs functioning with an instrument named "Peak Flow meter". It is a small hand held device, when you blow air into it, it calculates the lung capacity and expansion. Spirometer is another instrument which helps in similar way in lung assessment and additionally it also has therapeutic usage. You may check oxygenation level by "Pulse Oximeter" which gives indirect clue on lung damage but keep in mind there are other medical conditions which may affect pulse oximeter readings.

I'm really struggling with this persistent wet cough and the pain it's causing in my chest. Every time the seasons change, it's the same routine: blocked nose, runny nose, and that horrible itch in my throat that makes me want to cough all the time. I got my X-ray and PFT done, but everything came back normal, which is frustrating because my throat just constantly feels heavy, like it's never clear. I really wish I could solve this for good. Unfortunately, there's no chest specialist in my area. Could you please give me some advice on what I can do?

I've been struggling with this severe wet whooping cough for 7 months now and it's really worrying me. I'm 6 months pregnant and don't smoke, but nothing seems to help. Ive been on antibiotics and have gone to the hospital 40 times where they gave me lots of IVs. The doctors say I have tuberculosis, pneumonia, bronchitis, and a really deep wet bronchial infection, plus a severe lung infection. When I breathe and cough, my chest rattles, and after being auscultated, they said theres a croaking sound from my lungs. Sometimes when I cough, its so bad I turn red or even blue because I can't breathe. Honestly, Im scared. What should I do to finally get rid of this cough?
Ecg,x-ray chest pa view,sputum for AFB and microscopy is advised to the patient.
