I'm really worried about my dad who's 67 and lives in Haryana. It's super cold there, and every year he ends up with a wet cough. We saw a pulmonologist about two years ago who said to use Brozedex, Budecort Respules, and there was another medication which I'm not sure if it's Levolin or Duolin. But his doctor is currently out of town, and were having trouble reaching him. My dad used to smoke but quit in 2004 before his CABG. Could you help me figure out what the third medication might be?

It sounds like your father may be experiencing recurring respiratory issues due to the cold, especially given his smoking history and past CABG. The medications prescribed, such as **Brozedex** (a combination of bronchodilator and steroid), **Budecort Respule** (a steroid), and either **Levolin** or **Duolin** (bronchodilators), are commonly used to manage symptoms like wet cough and breathing difficulties. It would be advisable to continue these medications as prescribed but consult with another pulmonologist if symptoms worsen or if you're unsure about the third medication.
