My mom's 53 and she's got diabetes and this dust allergy thing going on. She randomly got short of breath today and couldn't talk, which panicked us a bit. She usually gets mild asthma when she's near dust, but today it hit out of nowhere with no dust around. After taking Asthalin, she felt better. I'm curious about what could've triggered this sudden asthma attack without being around dust, and is it okay for her to use Asthalin every day?

I'm really worried about my sister. She was diagnosed with abdominal tuberculosis and has been on ATT for over a month now. Initially, she was prescribed AKT 2 450300. But just last week, the doctor switched her to R Cinex 450300 capsules. Ever since the change, she's been vomiting in the mornings after taking it, and she's been experiencing itchiness in her legs and hands, along with leg pain. Do you think we should go back to AKT 2?

I'm a bit worried about my dad and wanted to get your opinion. He takes a capsule inhaler every day, and we're wondering if it's safe for him to get the Covaxin vaccine. He doesn't have any past allergies from vaccinations. Does this sound okay?

yes he can take
