I've had an x-ray done today, and it shows that my diaphragm is a bit elevated. I dont have a cough, but I'm feeling some chest pain on the right side when I take a deep breath. I'm a bit worried and am wondering what could be causing this. I don't smoke and I've never had asthma. Do you think this pain will go away on its own? What other issues could this possibly be?

I'm wondering if it's alright for me to use Asthalin respules before playing sports. I have asthma and my breathing gets really heavy if I don't use it. But when I do, I can play for the full duration. Would using it beforehand be okay?

Yes, its okay to use Asthalin respules before playing sports if your doctor has advised it. It helps open up the airways, making it easier to breathe and preventing early fatigue. Just ensure you follow your doctors instructions on dosage and timing.

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with a cough, fever, and breathing problems for the past three months. I've been to the hospital and they said it's pneumonia, but even with the medication, I don't feel any better. Can you tell me what the best treatment would be?

we need to know the severity of pneumonia and then start treatment

I'm really concerned about my dad's cough. He's had it for about six months now, and it's mostly when he's lying down, but there's no fever. Besides that, he's dealing with high blood pressure, diabetes, and some heart issues. He's been on c furo cv 625 antibiotics for a couple of days, which seems to help a bit, maybe 40 percent better. But what else can we do? Any advice or other medicines you think would help?

Continue the same medicine, that would resolve and visit physician for follow up
