I'm a bit worried about the Budamate 200 mcg inhaler I've been using for the past five days as prescribed by my pulmonologist. Could it potentially lead to secondary infections, like black fungus? Just trying to understand the risks better.

I'm really concerned because I've been having this shortness of breath and dry cough for like a year and a half now. It's really unsettling and I just cant figure out whats going on. I dont smoke or drink, and I stick to a vegetarian diet, hoping that helps. Can you help me understand what might be causing these symptoms and what I should do next?

Question

I'm really worried about my dadhe's 53 and caught COVID on March 30th. He had a fever for four days, and after talking to the doctor, we did an HRCT of his chest. It showed a mild infection with about 10-15% of lung involvement. The doc gave him some medicine called Ferocort and Syncrobreath, plus a cough syrup. But the thing is, he's still coughing a lot. I'm just wondering, how long do you think it'll take for the cough to get better?

Question

I've been dealing with a cough for about a week now, and it's starting to make it hard for me to breathe. Do you have any advice on what I should do?
