Having this dry cough for over a week now and I remember that Dr. Srinath Karthick recommended LUPITUS syrup and BUDATE 200 Lupihaler capsules a year back. I still have some of the syrup and started taking it again, but it seems I really need those BUDATE 200 capsules to fully get better. The problem is they're not available in the market now. Could you suggest any alternative medicine I could try? I'm really hoping to kick this cough soon!

Question

I've been having some trouble with my breathing over the past few months and I tried using a spirometer at home. I could only manage to lift two out of the three balls completely. Is this normal, or should I be looking into getting more tests or treatment for this discomfort?

Question

I'm a 28-year-old woman who works out regularly. My mom has a pulse oximeter at home and I decided to use it just for fun. When I was resting, my blood oxygen level was 99, but after a short run on the treadmill it went down to 86. My heart rate was only around 130. Usually, I work out a lot more intensely than I did during this test. I'm worried that I might unknowingly be harming my body. Do you think I should get this checked? If so, what kind of doctor would be best for evaluating this situation?

Question

I'm really worried about my recent x-ray report. It says there's a mild increase in peri hilar bronchovascular markings in both lung fields. Is this something I should be concerned about? I'm not sure how serious this might be. Can you help me understand what's going on?
