How can I clean my lungs?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
There is no scientific proof to methods available online to detox your lungs. Fortunately, Lungs are good at cleaning and repairing themselves unless there was any chronic damage done. You may follow some steps to keep the lungs healthy such as Quit smoking, avoid second-hand smoke, steer clear of pollution indoors & outside (Wear mask, use air purifiers), prevent lung infections (Hand washing, maintain distance from sick people, get flu/pneumonia vaccines), include anti oxidants in diet and do breathing exercises or any physical activity on regular basis.

View allI'm worried about my situation. I had bronchitis three years ago and have been using an inhaled corticosteroid and fexofenadine regularly since then. But even with that, my doctor can still hear rhonchi through the stethoscope. Is there any way to completely get rid of the inflammation in my bronchi and stop the rhonchi sounds? Its even worse if I stop using the inhaler. What can I do?
you should not suddenly stop the inhaler, you should reduce its usage gradually. start steam inhalation

I'm really concerned because I've had this persistent cough for 25 days now, and it's accompanied by pain on the left side of my chest and a lot of fatigue, but I don't have any fever. I went to a doctor who recommended some tests and here are the results: my ESR is at 48 mm1hr, TEC is 4.17 Cumm, and while my CBC came back normal, my white blood cell count is at 13.9 Thmm3. My Serum Vitamin D3 is pretty low at 20.5 ngml, and I tested negative for Sputum for AFB. I'm not sure what all this means and should I be worried about these results?

I've been feeling really sleepy all day even though I get a good night's sleep. My parents have mentioned that my breathing stops for a few seconds while I'm asleep, and I also have a snoring problem. Could these things be related to why I'm so tired? What might be causing it?
