Question

I've been dealing with COPD and I'm also having this annoying post-nasal drip with a nonstop runny nose whenever I eat. At night, my throat gets all clogged up with phlegm, which makes it hard to sleep. I'm taking Glevo 500 daily and nebulizing with Duolin and Budecort every morning, plus just Duolin again at night. Montair LC every other day seems to help a bit. Do you think a nose drop like ipratropium bromide could help with these issues, or is there something else you'd recommend? The throat and nasal issues, along with slight wheezing or a rattling sound sometimes, are really bothering me. Any advice?

Question

I'm 21 and I've noticed that my right hilar shadow is more prominent, and there are lymph nodes involved. I don't have a cough or fever, but I sometimes feel a bit breathless, which I think might be from worrying too much. Is this something serious, or is it normal? Should I be seeing a doctor about it?

Question

I've been dealing with an allergic bronchial cough for the past 12 years. It tends to get really bad during the winter months, and this time it kicked off around November. I usually dont find much relief with medicines or inhalers, but I tried Ascoril plus syrup recently, and surprisingly, there's been some improvement. I'd say the cough is about 50% better, and I'm hoping it continues to help. I've been taking 10 ml of it, three times a day, for the last three days. Im just a bit worried about how long I can safely continue to use this medicine and what the proper dosage should be. Also, I've noticed some tremors in my hands after starting it. Can you provide guidance on this?

Question

I'm concerned about the results of my X-ray from April 10. What exactly does pneumonitis mean? Is it the same thing as pneumonia? I'd really appreciate some guidance on this.
