Question 1

I've been dealing with a chronic belching problem ever since my first chest tube 3 years ago. This week, I was back in the hospital with another chest tube, and interestingly enough, I barely burped at all while I was there. Now that I'm back home, the burping has started up again, and it's painful to take a deep breath. I'm really worried my lung might have collapsed again. Could these issues be connected? Should I go back to the hospital?

Accepted Answer

not connected

Question 2

I've been dealing with winter asthma for about 6 years now, and my doctor previously had me on romilast 10 and theoasthalin tablets for 5 winters straight, but they come with a bunch of side effects. Another doctor suggested inhalers might be better than oral meds, so this year I've switched to using a regular asthalin inhaler. However, it's not really cutting it; even after 4 sprays, the relief only lasts for about 4 to 5 hours. It's still a bit cold here at night in Kolkata, so the asthma is persistent. Could you recommend a better inhaler? Would Seroflo 250 be a good option?

Accepted Answer

take foracort inhaler twice a day for 5 days
