How long can I keep taking mlife tablets for my asthma without worrying about side effects? Ive been on them for the past 30 days and so far, so good, but Im just wondering if there's anything I should be cautious about.

View allI've been wondering about my lung health after smoking for many years, even though I quit some time ago. Is there any way to check how my lungs are doing now, and can I clear out any tar that might have built up in them over the years?
Patient is advised x-ray chest pa view, pulmonary function tests (pft).

I'm feeling a bit unsure about my diagnosis and the treatment I've been prescribed. I've been told I have ILD and IPF, specifically idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis Stage I, and my doctor has suggested taking Acetylcysteine 600 mg effervescent tablets for the IPF. Do you think this is the right approach? Could it really help with the phlegm I'm experiencing in my nose and throat? Just wanting to make sure I'm on the right track here.
yes it is sufficient. start steam inhalation along with it

I've been having some breathing issues for the past couple of years and it started when I was told I had a deviated septum. I even had surgery, but it didn't really help. The doctors back then suggested it might just be in my head. So I went to a chest specialist, and they mentioned it could be an allergy or mild allergic asthma. They put me on VilorF, but my breathing issues haven't gone away, especially when I'm sleeping. I can't lie on my right side or on my back, only on one side, which is tough. They also added Pantosec D to my routine, which I've been taking each morning on an empty stomach for 6 months now. Thing is, I've come down with a fever and had a really bad cough for a couple of days, and though the fever's gone, I'm struggling again with breathing since last evening. There's a kind of tightness in my chest and it's been really tough. I took the salbutamol inhaler once this morning, but I'm not sure what I should do next. Could this be related to the asthma or something else? Any advice would be super helpful.
continue salbutamol inhaler for 5 days and tablet dolo 650 mg for 3 days
