Can I mix Duolin and Budecort in my nebulizer? This is my first time using one, and Im a bit unsure. Also, should I be adding something else like saline solution?

Yes, Duolin (Ipratropium and Salbutamol) and Budecort (Budesonide) can be mixed together in a nebulizer for administration. However, it's recommended to dilute the mixture with Normal Saline (NS) to a total volume of 4-6 mL, as undiluted solutions can be too concentrated and may cause irritation

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been coughing for a week, and after we went to see a physician, she was given pulmoclear tablets. But now, after taking them for two days, she's having trouble breathing and feels tightness in her chest. Could this be a side effect of the tablet? Theres no family history of asthma or any breathing issues, and she was perfectly fine before starting the medication. I read somewhere that breathing problems are a rare but serious side effect of pulmoclear. Could this be true?

It's possible that your mother is experiencing a side effect from Pulmoclear, as breathing difficulty and chest tightness can occur, though rarely. I recommend stopping the medication and contacting her physician immediately to discuss her symptoms and explore alternative treatments.

I've been dealing with some breathing issues lately, like I get short of breath and feel pain in my ribs and lungs whenever I take a deep breath. I also feel a lot more tired than usual, and it's weird because I don't really feel like eating much anymore. This has been going on for about two months now. Could this be something serious, or is it maybe just stress or something else?
