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

View allI'm really concerned about my mom's situation. She's 55 and had fluid buildup in one of her lungs. She's done with the treatment for that, but she's still taking medicine for TB. I have the fluid report attached, and I saw the term "malignant tumor" mentioned in relation to increased serum levels. Should I be worried about that? Is there something seriously wrong that we should know about?

My wife is six months pregnant and she's been struggling with a persistent cough and cold since her first month. We've been seeing her gynecologist regularly and they've given us some medicine, but it only offers temporary relief. Recently, the gynecologist advised us to consult a pulmonologist. I'm just concerned and wondering if it's safe for her to take allergy medication at this stage of her pregnancy. Any recommendations on what kind of treatment the pulmonologist might suggest?

I'm a little worried because I've been dealing with a lot of symptoms like excessive yawning, a constant feeling of needing to yawn, and even sometimes feeling like I can't breathe properly, all for about 45 days now. I also have a stuffy nose, my nasal turbinates seem enlarged, and I have post-nasal drip. I was diagnosed with allergic rhinitis earlier, but these symptoms don't seem to be going away. Is there a chance that this has turned into allergic asthma or maybe even bronchial asthma, even though I havent started coughing or felt any chest pressure?
Azeflo nasal spray is advised to the patient sos for allergy...7ml twice daily in both the nostrils is advised to the pt..
