I've been hearing mixed things about steaming and its effectiveness for people affected by corona. Some sources like blogs and newspapers say it doesn't help at all, while debates on news channels and YouTube videos also suggest it's not beneficial. I'm really confused and concerned. Could you shed some light on whether steaming is actually useful for someone dealing with corona?

View allI'm currently using a Foracort steroid-based inhaler and was considering switching to the Seroflo inhaler with salmeterol. Are there any concerns or issues I should be aware of if I make this change?
Seroflo (Salmeterol + Fluticasone) and Foracort (Formoterol + Budesonide) are both steroid-based inhalers, but they differ in their active ingredients, with Seroflo containing Salmeterol (a longer-acting bronchodilator) and Fluticasone (an inhaled corticosteroid), whereas Foracort contains Formoterol (a faster-acting bronchodilator) and Budesonide (an inhaled corticosteroid); switching from Foracort to Seroflo may require medical supervision, as it may cause changes in asthma control, and your doctor may need to adjust the dosage or monitor you for potential side effects.

I've been taking asthalin pills and accidentally took 4mg instead of 2mg for 35 days. Now I'm having some weird symptoms like a fast heartbeat and shivering. I've switched to using an inhaler for 34 days but those symptoms haven't gone away. I keep waking up suddenly when I'm about to fall asleep, and it's freaking me out a bit. Any advice on how I can deal with these side effects?

My mom struggles with coughing a few times a year, and the doctor said it might be asthma or allergic bronchitis. I'm trying to understand this better. What could be causing these symptoms to flare up and how can we help manage them effectively? Are there specific things we should look out for or avoid to keep her comfortable?
if she is allergic to something, then it might be allergic rhinitis
