Question 3

Hi doctor, my father is 67 and lives in Haryana where it's very cold. Every year he develops a wet cough. We saw a pulmonologist 2 years ago, and he recommended using Brozedex, Budecort Respule, and another inhaler, but I can't remember the namemaybe...

Accepted Answer

It sounds like your father may be experiencing recurring respiratory issues due to the cold, especially given his smoking history and past CABG. The medications prescribed, such as Brozedex (a combination of bronchodilator and steroid), Budecort Respule (a steroid), and either Levolin or Duolin (bronchodilators), are commonly used to manage symptoms like wet cough and breathing difficulties. It would be advisable to continue these medications as prescribed but consult with another pulmonologist if symptoms worsen or if you're unsure about the third medication.

Question 4

I recently had a chest CT scan, and it shows fibrotic scars in the left upper lobe of my lung, which the doctor said are post-inflammatory sequel changes. Is this something serious or is it a normal finding?

Accepted Answer

Fibrotic scars in the left upper lobe of your lung, described as post-inflammatory sequelae, typically result from past infections or inflammation. While it's not uncommon, its important to monitor and follow up with your doctor for any further management or assessment to ensure it doesn't affect your lung function.

Question 5

Patient is covid positive, and takin budecort through nebulization among other medicines. Oxygen level is around 98-97, ct severity score is 1125 on 28th april. Crp was 29.55 on 26th April, and 21.5 on 30th april. Today is 13th day of symptoms.

Accepted Answer

The breathlessness experienced after budecort nebulization may be due to bronchospasm, which can be a side effect of the medication. One remedy to alleviate this is to use a bronchodilator such as Salbutamol inhaler. You can use Salbutamol inhaler 100 mcg as needed to relieve the breathlessness symptoms. Additionally, you can consider reducing the dose of budecort to 0.25 mg for nebulization to see if it helps in reducing the side effects while still maintaining the therapeutic effect. It is important to monitor the oxygen levels closely during this adjustment. Remember to consult with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.
