Having this dry cough for over a week now and I remember that Dr. Srinath Karthick recommended LUPITUS syrup and BUDATE 200 Lupihaler capsules a year back. I still have some of the syrup and started taking it again, but it seems I really need those BUDATE 200 capsules to fully get better. The problem is they're not available in the market now. Could you suggest any alternative medicine I could try? I'm really hoping to kick this cough soon!

View allI've had asthma since I was a kid, and I used to be on Budecort 200 daily and Asthalin occasionally. But over time, I stopped using inhalers. Now, I find myself getting a wheezing cough maybe five or six times a year. Is it a good idea to start using inhalers again, or should I avoid them? I'm really hesitant to go back on them. What do you think?
Yes,continue same treatment as advised by the physician.Patient is advised tab levocetrizine 10 mg orally,at bedtime for 5 days .

My dad's oxygen levels are fluctuating between 94 and 97. It usually drops a bit after dinner and tends to be higher around noon. He's got asthma, so I'm wondering, would it help if he took steam and did breathing exercises like Anulom Vilom? Any suggestions on how we can improve his oxygen level?
Patient is advised deep breathing exercises,jogging,swimmingquit smoking,eating healthy diet,drinking plenty of water, can improve oxygen saturation.

I've been diagnosed with covid and my CT score was 25, and my scan showed a 225 pt infection in the upper right lung. I've been on medication like ivermectin, clavum, mondeslor, zincovit, limcee, and dolo for the past three days. Ive also been doing steam inhalations three times a day and drinking hot lemon water and kadha. Now, Ive started coughing and my oxygen levels are around 98-99, plus I'm feeling a little short of breath. I dont have a fever though. Do you think I should start taking a steroid like medrol, or should I stick to my 5-day treatment plan with cough syrup and steam inhalation for now to see if things get better?
continue the treatment you will be fine
