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 allMy mom struggles with coughing a few times a year, and the doctor said it might be asthma or allergic bronchitis. I'm trying to understand this better. What could be causing these symptoms to flare up and how can we help manage them effectively? Are there specific things we should look out for or avoid to keep her comfortable?
if she is allergic to something, then it might be allergic rhinitis

The pus from my cervical TB infection was drained but the lump hasn't gone away yet. The lab confirmed it's tuberculosis and I'm on FORECOX (Isoniazid, Pyrazinamide, Ethambutol) twice daily. Should I get any other tests done to check if the treatment is working or if there's more going on
It's important to monitor the progress of your cervical TB treatment and the lymph node after draining the pus. While the drug regimen you're on (FORECOX) is effective, additional tests may be needed to confirm the effectiveness of the treatment and rule out any other potential complications.

I'm a bit worried about my breathing issues. The doctor prescribed me Predmet 4mg tablets for 15 days, and it really helped control it. But now that I've finished the course, the breathing problem has come back. How long can I safely continue taking this medicine if it helps with my breathing? Could you please advise?
Patient is advised predmet 4 mg for 14 days, then predmet 2 mg for 14 days, and lastly tab predmet 1mg for 14 days and then stoped.
