I have early small airway obstruction. Spirometry shows severe restriction with FVC percentage less than 45 and FEV1 divided by FVC percentage greater than 70. I have also taken an HRCT chest, which is normal. I have attached my report. Please help me with this?

If spirometry shows FVC less than 45 percent and HRCT is normal, early small airway obstruction like asthma or post infective airway changes could be the cause. Discuss inhaler therapy and repeat spirometry after a few weeks.

The latest blood report is attached. He has been taking Zondis for more than 2 months with no relief. What should I do? Which specialist should I see? He is also feeling itching whenever he eats.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am having an itching problem on the entire body with no rashes or red marks. The itching feels internal and when I take a Citrizen tablet it subsides temporarily but reappears, about twice a week. I have been suffering from this problem for the past 6 to 7 months and consulted a dermatologist who suggested medicines like Allegra 120 and some multivitamin syrup after conducting blood and urine tests. He told me there is no problem in the blood and urine reports.
