Question

I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with my recent diagnosis from Apollo Hospital. They found 5 ulcers in my digestive tract and said I have IBD, specifically Crohn's disease, along with cough variant asthma. They did a colonoscopy, abdomen CT scan, fecal test, and a bunch of blood tests. Now I'm on medication for IBD and Crohns, and theyve given me an inhaler for the cough. Im a bit worriedshould I expect any side effects from the meds, and how can I manage these conditions effectively on a daily basis? Any advice on diet or lifestyle adjustments would be really helpful.

The diagnosis of Crohn's disease, a type of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), and cough variant asthma is based on comprehensive testing, and the prescribed medications, likely including aminosalicylates, immunomodulators, or biologics for Crohn's, and bronchodilators or corticosteroids for asthma, aim to manage symptoms, induce remission, and prevent complications.
