Can I mix Duolin and Budecort in my nebulizer? This is my first time using one, and Im a bit unsure. Also, should I be adding something else like saline solution?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, Duolin (Ipratropium and Salbutamol) and Budecort (Budesonide) can be mixed together in a nebulizer for administration. However, it's recommended to dilute the mixture with Normal Saline (NS) to a total volume of 4-6 mL, as undiluted solutions can be too concentrated and may cause irritation

I'm curious about something. I've been randomly checking my SpO2 levels in the morning and at night. In the morning, they're usually between 97 to 99, but at night they go from 94 to 98. I'm not running a fever or anything. Do you think this is something I should be concerned about?
no it is not, donot worry it might due to temperature changes also

I'm currently dealing with MDR TB and I've been trying some Ayurvedic treatments. I feel like I'm improving, but I'm not sure what the next step should be. Is there one specific test that can confirm if I still have tuberculosis, or should I look at multiple options? I'm really curious about the best way to track my progress and ensure I'm on the right path.
TB Gold standard test is sputum examination for AFB and microscopy and also Interferon gamma release essay( IGRA).
