Question 1

I've been told I have a prominent hilar shadow and bronchovascular marking in both of my lungs. I'm really curious about what that means for my health and what steps I should take next. Can you help explain these terms and suggest what should be done about this?

Accepted Answer

A prominent hilar shadow and bronchovascular markings on both lungs can indicate inflammation or changes in the lung structures. It's important to follow up with a chest X-ray or CT scan and consult a pulmonologist for a comprehensive evaluation to rule out any underlying conditions such as infections or lung disease.

Question 2

I'm really worried about my health. I've been taking my TB meds for six months now, but my latest X-ray still shows that I have tuberculosis. What should I do next? Is this normal, or should I be concerned?

Accepted Answer

If your X-ray still shows signs of tuberculosis after 6 months of treatment, we'll reassess your treatment plan. It may involve extending your medication course or switching to a different regimen. We'll work together to ensure the best approach to fully eliminate the infection.

Question 4

I've been using the Seroflo 250 Inhaler for a couple of years now because my doctor prescribed it, but I just found out that it contains Fluticasone Propionate, which I heard is a steroid and might not be great for long-term health. I'm kinda worried...

Accepted Answer

Hi, using a Seroflo 250 inhaler is essential for controlling asthma or COPD as it contains both a steroid (Fluticasone) to reduce inflammation and a bronchodilator. However, Salbutamol-only inhalers like Asthalin or Levolin are available but are meant for quick relief, not long-term control. Consult your doctor before making any changes to ensure your symptoms stay managed.
