Can I use doxofylline 200mg tablets for my asthma? Every morning when I wake up, I have an asthma attack.

Doxofylline 200mg is commonly used to help manage asthma symptoms by relaxing the airways. However, it's important to consult your doctor before starting it, especially if you're experiencing frequent asthma attacks. They can adjust the dosage or prescribe the right treatment for your condition.

I'm dealing with bronchitis asthma and I'm on Seroflo 250 and Montek FX. I also have NASH and take Bilypsa, Adesam 400, and Evion 400 for it. But every time I take Evion, I start having trouble breathing and it seems like it makes my asthma worse. Is there any link between Evion 400 and asthma? Why could this be happening?

you might be allergic to evion 400, better avoid taking it

I'm really worried about my aunt - she's been having trouble breathing, and her reports show she has Severe Pulmonary Hypertension. Weve seen a pulmonologist, but they haven't been able to find a solution. We've been following a cardiologist's advice and started her on Bosentas 62.5mg for the past six months, but it seems like her condition is getting worse. Another cardiologist warned us that Bosentas could be harmful to her liver, but we didnt stop it. Now, she can't even walk from her bedroom to the living room without struggling. I'm looking for advice on whether there's any treatment or medication from Homeopathy, Allopathic, or Ayurveda that might help her. Can you offer any guidance?

That could be Pharyngitis or tonsillitis visit ENT doctor for appropriate treatment.

What can you make of my mom's recent X-ray? She's 60, and after testing positive for COVID antibodies 18 days after her first symptoms, the new X-ray shows some prominent bronchovascular markings with a patchy non-homogeneous opacity in the left lower zone. It also mentions something about a bulky right hilum with calcified lymph nodes. Should I be worried about these findings?
