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'm really worried because I've been having trouble breathing for the past three years. It seems like every time I take my medication, it gets better for a little while, but then I start having difficulty again after a few days. I've also tried using inhalers, but they don't seem to be helping. What should I do?

My dad's been dealing with Pulmonary TB, and the doctor put him on Forecox tablets. He's taking two a day for 70 days, and he's already 40 days in. Lately, he's been complaining about pain in his knees and hands. Could this be a side effect? Also, what kind of diet should he be on, and are there any specific precautions he needs to follow?

I'm really worried about my husband. He was in a car accident and has a light chest injury, no bleeding, but we decided to do a CT scan just to be safe. The report says he has pulmonary nodules on his left lower lobe, one is 2 mm and the other is 4 mm. Could these nodules be a result of something serious? He did have COVID three years ago, could that be related in any way? I'm just trying to understand what this might mean.
