I've been dealing with asthma and currently, Im using inhaled corticosteroids for it. I dont have any other health issues going on, so I'm wondering if it's safe for me to get the Covishield vaccine. Is there anything I should be worried about with the combination of the vaccine and my asthma treatment?

View allI was just diagnosed with asthma, and I'm a bit worried. Is this something that could be temporary? I'm the only one in my family with it, and I never smoke. I used to do a lot of exercise outside in the cold mornings before, could that be why I'm experiencing this?
Asthma is a chronic airway disease. Yes ,in winter season the asthma gets aggrevated.

Hey, so my boyfriend is 25 and he used to take Deriphyllin, but now he's been prescribed Deriphyllin M. I'm a bit concerned and wondering, like, what's the real difference between the two? Is one safer or more effective than the other? I'm just trying to figure out which one he should be using.
Deriphyllin and Deriphyllin M are both used to treat respiratory issues like asthma and COPD, but the main difference lies in their composition. Deriphyllin contains Etophylline and Theophylline, whereas Deriphyllin M contains an additional ingredient, Menthol, which helps relieve congestion and cough. As for which one is safer and better, it ultimately depends on your boyfriend's specific condition and how his body responds to the medication. Deriphyllin M might be more effective for him if he experiences congestion,

So my dad caught covid pneumonia back in February and his CT score was 1925. He was in the ICU for a month and after he got better, his oxygen levels were around 96-97. But now, for the last couple of weeks, he's been dealing with a dry cough and a low-grade fever. We did a covid test and it came back negative, but a urine test showed a bacterial infection. He's on niftran 100mg for that. My concern is that his dry cough has turned into a chesty cough, and for about 45 days, his oxygen levels have been fluctuating between 88-93. With oxygen support, he can maintain 98. The doctor recommended pirfenex200 for fibrosis and I have an X-ray report attached. Is there any medication or treatment you can suggest for the chesty cough?
the tablet given by doctor is good. kindly follow the same medicine
