Accepted Answer

To naturally remove tar from lungs after quitting smoking, try steam inhalation, drink plenty of water, eat antioxidant-rich foods like leafy greens, berries, and other fruits, and consider supplements like Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Omega-3 fatty acids; also, incorporate lung-friendly minerals like Magnesium, Potassium, and Selenium into your diet, and practice yoga, meditation, or deep breathing exercises to promote healthy lung function.

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing mild respiratory issues, such as wheezing or reactive airways, which can cause shortness of breath and a dry cough, especially with physical exertion. I recommend seeing a doctor to assess your lung function and rule out conditions like asthma or other respiratory concerns.

Question 4

I have chronic liver disease, along with allergic rhinitis and bronchitis asthma. Can you tell me which antihistamine would be the safest for me? I've heard of Levocetirizine, Desloratadine, and Bilastine, but I'm not sure which one would be best for...

Accepted Answer

For someone with chronic liver disease, it's important to choose an antihistamine that has minimal impact on the liver. Among the options, Desloratadine is generally considered safer as it has fewer liver-related side effects compared to others. However, it's best to consult your doctor before starting any medication to ensure it's appropriate for your condition.

Question 5

My doctor suggested giving my child a nebulizer with Duolin and Budecort. Can I mix them together or should I give them separately? His oxygen levels are around 92-93 without the oxygen mask. Is this something to worry about?

Accepted Answer

You can mix Duolin and Budecort in the nebulizer, as they are often used together to help with breathing. However, it's important to follow your doctor's instructions on the exact doses and timing. If his oxygen levels are 92-93 without the mask, it might be worth monitoring closely and considering supplemental oxygen as advised by the doctor.

Question 6

Is it okay to use Asthalin respules before playing any sport? I have asthma, and if I don't use them, my breathing becomes really heavy quickly. But when I do use the respules, I can manage to play through the whole game.

Accepted Answer

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.
