View allI'm a bit concerned because lately, I've been noticing blood in my saliva. It used to come from my gum near my teeth sometimes, but now I've also started to cough and see blood a few minutes afterward. I'm really trying to figure out if this could be related to issues with my teeth, or if it might have something to do with my chest or throat. Any ideas on what might be going on?

I'm really worried about my grandma. She's got mild asthma, so sometimes her breathing gets really heavy. My aunt, who's a nurse, mentioned that using Duolin and Budecort in a nebulizer might help when things get tough for her. We've been doing it like once or twice a week whenever she feels bad. But when I checked online, I saw that the dosage and timing should be decided by a doctor. So, I'm wondering if it's okay to keep giving her these meds like we've been doing. Should we be using them together or separately? Whats the right dosage, and how often can we safely use them for her in the nebulizer? I'm really hoping for some advice here!
Hi, it's important to use Duolin and Budecort in a nebulizer only as prescribed by a doctor, as dosage and frequency depend on your grandma's specific condition. Typically, they can be given separately with a gap of at least 15-20 minutes, but please consult her doctor for personalized advice to ensure safe and effective use.

I'm experiencing this weird dry cough situation. Every time I inhale and exhale, especially in the evenings, I cough once or twice. It doesn't really happen during the day. Do you have any idea why this could be happening?
It sounds like you may have a mild form of evening-related bronchospasm or irritation, possibly due to postnasal drip, acid reflux, or early asthma. Try staying hydrated, avoid triggers like cold air or allergens, and consider a checkup if it persists.
