After getting over COVID-19 and being in the hospital for 5 days, I'm still feeling pretty tired and sometimes I find it hard to catch my breath. Should I think about going back to the hospital, or is it better to just stick with my medication and wait it out?

My breathing seems to get really heavy at night, and I've been using Salbair as an inhaler to help. It sometimes results in cough with these thread-like formations. Is it okay to keep using Salbair this way?

It sounds like you're experiencing breathing difficulties at night, and using Salbair (a salbutamol inhaler) can help relieve symptoms of wheezing or shortness of breath. However, if youre noticing persistent symptoms or coughing, its important to consult with a healthcare provider to evaluate your condition, as this could be related to asthma, allergies, or another respiratory issue.

I'm about to start a job in the Gulf, and I recently had a chest x-ray that showed a little grey color. I'm worried it might cause issues during the medical test for my job. Do you think it's okay to go ahead with the medical test as it is, or should I consider getting treatment first? Any advice would really help.

I'm a bit confused about the medication my doctor prescribed. They've asked us to take INH 150, Rcinex 450, and Ethambutol 400. But here's the thing, Rcinex already contains 300mg of isoniazid. Should we be adjusting the dosage or is there something I'm missing here? It's just a bit worrying, and I want to make sure we're doing the right thing.

revise the dosage again
