I've been dealing with bronchitis for the past two months and it's really getting to me. I've tried all sorts of antibiotics, but nothing seems to help. Why isn't this going away? What else can I do to finally get some relief?

View allI'm wondering about a change in my inhaler meds recently. I've always had these bronchial issues right from when I was a kid. My doc swapped out my Levosalbutamol inhaler for a Budesonide corticosteroid inhaler. But I'm a bit nervous about using steroids because Ive heard once you start, you can't just stop. Does anyone have any advice on if this is really safe? Would really love to hear some opinions on this.
take it when symptoms exacerbated

I'm having some trouble breathing, and I got my blood test results back showing my eosinophils are at 7.3. I had a chest X-ray done too, but it came back normal. Could the eosinophil levels be related to my breathing issues even though the X-ray didn't show anything? What does this mean for my health?
Your eosinophil count of 7.3% indicates a high level, which could be related to allergies, asthma, or parasitic infections. Since your chest X-ray is normal, it is less likely to be a serious lung issue. I recommend taking a short course of an antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily to help with any allergic reactions causing your breathing trouble. Additionally, you can use an inhaler like Salbutamol 100mcg for quick relief if needed. If symptoms persist, follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm really worried after my CT scan showed that more than 30% of my lungs have moderate damage from Covid. Is this something that can be cured, or should I be super concerned about long-term effects?
