Why haven't my cough and thick sputum gone away even after 10 years since taking CAT1? Now I've been diagnosed with MDR, and although I don't have major issues apart from the constant coughing, it's really persistent, especially in the morning. I also get tired easily throughout the day. Could this lingering cough be related to MDR, and is it normal to feel this tired all the time? Should I be worried about missing chest pains or aches? What can I do to manage this better?

View allI've been having some issues and I'm a bit concerned. I have asthma and a couple of years back it was pretty bad, but after moving I hadn't had an attack for about two years. Last week, though, I started wheezing and coughing again. My ENT prescribed DUOLIN for nebulization, and I started using it twice a day for the last two days. But Ive noticed that right after using it, my heart races, and my hands tremble. I looked it up and saw that these can be side effects of DUOLIN. Ive used Foracort 200 and Asthalin in the past without any problems. I'm just worried if I should stop using it or not. What should I do?
Based on your symptoms of increased heart rate and tremors in your hands after using DUOLIN nebulization, it is important to consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation. These symptoms can be potential side effects of DUOLIN, which contains a combination of ipratropium and salbutamol. In the meantime, you may consider stopping the use of DUOLIN and discussing alternative treatment options with your doctor. For your asthma management, you can consider using Foracort 200 (budesonide and formoterol) as a maintenance inhaler and Asthalin (salbutamol) as a rescue inhaler for acute symptoms. However, it is crucial to seek medical advice before making any changes to your asthma treatment regimen.

I'm dealing with some annoying allergies that started yesterday, and now whenever I'm in cold air, I can't stop sneezing. I took Allegra last night, and thankfully, the sneezing has lessened today. However, when I cough, I feel a pain in my rib cage. Is this something I should be worried about? For some context, I had a moderate case of COVID about six months ago and my lungs were affected back then.

I'm feeling really concerned because every night between 6 PM and 3 AM, I start getting a fever accompanied by chills and sweating. After the fever, I find it hard to take deep breaths, only managing about 8 seconds sometimes. Sometimes, the fever even hits in the evening and morning. I'm also experiencing pain on the right side of my chest, especially when I cough or try to take a long breath. I recently got an X-ray, and it mentioned something about a thick-walled cavitory lesion in the right mid-zone with some surrounding consolidation. Does this sound serious? What could it possibly mean for my health?
