Question 1

I'm curious about monitoring my lung capacity weekly with a peak flow meter. It consistently shows 350 to 400 LM, which stays within the green zone, and although I feel okay, I'm wondering if that's sufficient to keep track of my lung health. Since being diagnosed with bronchitis, I've become increasingly concerned about my lungs, especially because of the thick phlegm. Should I be doing more than just the peak flow meter, like maybe a pulmonary function test, to get a clearer picture of my lung function? Id appreciate some advice on this.

Accepted Answer

do pulmonary function test once ,no need to repeat every week

Question 2

Suffering from COPD for the past couple of months and I'm just wondering if COPD is something that can actually be cured, or is it just the symptoms that can be managed?

Accepted Answer

symptoms are curable

Question 3

I'm really worried because I've been experiencing some unusual symptoms lately. I have a history of allergic asthma, and I've noticed that when I inhale strong perfumes, it triggers a cold and a dry cough. I work outdoors a lot and have been using hand sanitizer frequently. For about a month now, I've noticed bloody mucus in my throat, which I end up swallowing, and it leaves a metallic taste. When I took a rapid corona test, it came out negative, although when they took the nasal swab, there was some blood on the stick. I don't have any other symptoms, but when I don't sleep well, I have a mild dry cough. I even tried antibiotics, but nothing seems to help. Could this be related to inhaling the sanitizer while rubbing it on my hands? What should I do about it? What remedies or steps should I take?

Accepted Answer

Seroflo rotahaler sos for breathing difficulty is advised to the patient.

Tab Azithromycin 500 mg orally for 3 days ,once daily is advised to th epatient.
