Question

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with COPD for about 10 years, and I get asthma attacks whenever I physically exert myself. I use the Seroflo 250 inhaler all the time, but I'm wondering if there's any stem cell therapy available as a treatment for COPD. Can you provide any insight or advice on that?

I've been around a lot of TB patients lately, and with them coughing near me, I'm starting to worry. Is there anything I should do or any medicine I can take to prevent getting exposed or infected again?
