Namaste, I'm 28 and have had chronic asthma since birth. I usually rely on the Foracort 200mg inhaler, taking one puff every couple of days, and it mostly keeps things in check. Sometimes, I used to take Levolin 10mg if I felt the need. Now, with the COVID-19 vaccinations available like Covishield, Covaxin, or Sputnik, Im wondering if its safe for me to take any of them given my condition and the medication Im on. Is continuing with my inhaler after vaccination okay? Also, should I be worried about possible allergic reactions like wheezing or chest congestion similar to an asthma attack post-vaccination? Would really appreciate some guidance on this.

Patient is advised covishield vaccination intramuscular, 3 doses as complete immunization to the patient. Side-efects like rash,fever,nausea,headache and allergic reactions are fewer side-effects.

View allIm worried about my mom who was recently diagnosed with IPF or hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Sometimes she experiences a blocked nose and chest tightness, and it makes it hard for her to breathe, although shes stable with her oxygen levels around 98-99%. The doctor suggested Foracort 200 rotacaps for her wheezing, but she doesn't wheeze all the time. She tried taking it once in the morning and once in the evening, but were not sure how often she should be using the Foracort. Is there a recommended routine for this, and can we use a nebulizer to help with her nasal blockage? Would an inhaler be a better option for these symptoms? Any advice would be appreciated.
To use rotcaps you might be give rotahaler,that comes with a user manual follow the guidelines and use it accordingly.

I've just finished my tuberculosis treatment earlier this April after nine months on medication, but then I caught COVID at the end of the month. Since then, I haven't had any COVID symptoms, and an HRCT showed no lung infections. However, I'm struggling with a persistent dry cough and an itchy throat. There's also white mucus that shows up every morning but only a little bit. I've tried Alex syrup and some home remedies like ginger and honey, but nothing seems to be working. What could be causing this ongoing cough, and should I be worried?
take syrup ascoril and drink hot water

I'm really worried and need some advice. My dad tested positive for COVID on the 17th, but I tested negative, though I've got typhoid. I'm on cefixime, arithromyzin, and mucolyte, plus I've received 6 monocef injections. Lately, I've been dealing with this frothy mucus coming out of my mouth, and my nose is completely blocked. It's making it impossible for me to sleep because my throat's full of it, and my breathing keeps stopping. Is this mucus thing something to do with typhoid, or could it be something else going on? I'm feeling pretty anxious about it.
do covid test
