Question 4

Hi, Im using Duolin (2ml) and Budecort (3ml) for my nebulization. Can I mix them together in one round, or should I be using them separately in different rounds? Would appreciate some clarity on this.

Accepted Answer

You can mix Duolin (2ml) and Budecort (3ml) in one nebulization session, as they are commonly used together for combined bronchodilator and anti-inflammatory effects. Just ensure you follow your doctor's instructions and the prescribed dosage for your condition.

Question 5

My mom is 55 years old, and every time she feels cold in her chest, it gets stuck in her throat, especially while eating. It even causes some breathing problems at times. Should she see a lung specialist or an ENT doctor for this?

Accepted Answer

Your mom's symptoms, such as feeling cold in the chest, throat blockage while eating, and breathing difficulties, could be related to either a respiratory or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) issue; it's recommended to consult a pulmonologist (lung specialist)

Question 6

Hi Doctor, I recently had a chest X-ray which showed prominent bronchiovascular markings in both lung fields. I'm scheduled for surgery on Wednesday under general anesthesia. Should I be worried about this finding, especially considering the surgery?

Accepted Answer

Prominent bronchiovascular markings on a chest X-ray typically suggest mild changes in the lungs, possibly due to chronic conditions like bronchitis or mild inflammation. However, this finding is generally not a major concern for surgery under general anesthesia. Its important to inform your surgical team about your chest X-ray results, but with proper evaluation and monitoring, you should be able to proceed safely with the surgery.
