Question 1

My mom has been using the Foracort 400 and Tiova inhalers twice a day for the last ten years. Today, she accidentally took the Tiova inhaler two times. Should she take the Foracort now or skip it for today?

Accepted Answer

If your mom has accidentally taken Tiova twice, it's important not to take another dose of Tiova today. She can still take her usual Foracort dose, as long as she hasn't exceeded the recommended limit for either inhaler. If she feels any unusual symptoms like increased heart rate or dizziness, please seek medical advice promptly.

Question 3

Hi doctor, I have a question about the Febrex Plus tablet. Every time I take it, I end up coughing a lot, but there's no mucus. I'm wondering why this happens when I take Febrex?

Accepted Answer

Febrex Plus contains a combination of ingredients that can help relieve cold and flu symptoms, but one of its components, like the decongestant or antihistamine, may sometimes cause dryness in the airways. This can lead to a dry cough, as the body attempts to clear irritants without producing mucus. If this continues, it may be worth discussing with your doctor to adjust the medication.

Question 4

Today my mothers chest X-ray report showed "bilateral prominent vascular markings with small calcified hilar nodes suggestive of inflammatory etiology." Can you explain what this means? Should we be concerned?

Question 5

I recently got a chest X-ray because I've been feeling low and my chest feels heavy. The report came back normal, but it mentioned 'hilar prominence' on the right side. What does that mean? Could it be related to my smoking? Is it something serious? ...

Accepted Answer

Hilar prominence refers to the enlargement of the lymph nodes or blood vessels near the center of the chest, called the hilum. It's often seen in smokers, but its not necessarily serious. Since your chest X-ray came back normal otherwise, its likely not a major concern. However, if you're experiencing pain when laughing or shouting, its a good idea to follow up with a doctor for further evaluation.

Question 6

My X-ray report mentioned 'minimal fibrosis noted in the upper lobes.' Can you explain what that means? I'm a bit concerned and would like to understand it better.

Accepted Answer

Minimal fibrosis in the upper lobes of your lungs means there is a small amount of scarring in that area. This could be due to past inflammation or mild lung injury, but it generally doesn't indicate a serious condition. Its important to monitor your symptoms and follow up with your doctor for further evaluation if needed.
