I've been dealing with asthma for the past 10 years and started using a medicine called Salbair I about a year ago. I've been taking it regularly and I'm worried if that's harmful. Should I stop using it, or what should I do instead? How risky is this medicine for me?

I've been having some trouble with my breathing over the past few months and I tried using a spirometer at home. I could only manage to lift two out of the three balls completely. Is this normal, or should I be looking into getting more tests or treatment for this discomfort?

normal and continue the same

My spouse has had a dry cough for the past two months. It's not constant or really severe, but it's been lingering for a while now. It all started with a fever and wet cough for two days, but now it's just a dry cough. He's been on medication for a week, and although its improved a bit, it hasn't completely gone away. Oddly enough, he sometimes starts coughing after drinking water. I'm really hoping to find a permanent solution to this. Could you help us figure out what might be going on?

Ecg,sputum for AFB ,microscopy and x-ray chest pa view is advised to the patient.

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with asthma and is on ipravent and foracort nebulizers every day. Plus, she's got allergies to some meds like the mox group and managing her BP with telma40 and cilacar 10 mg. Her creatine level is at 1.2, so she's on nefrosave. I'm wondering if it's safe for her to get the COVID vaccine. Should she go for Covishield or Covaxin, or is there something else we need to consider given her health situation?

Don't take
