I noticed that both yesterday and today, while I was drinking water, I had a cough that caused a mild pain in the left side of my chest, right under the collarbone. It lasted for about 2 to 3 minutes after I coughed. What could this be? Should I be worried about this kind of pain occurring every time I drink?

I'm really worried because my mom has been using Foracort 400 and Tiova inhalers twice daily for about ten years now, but today she accidentally took Tiova twice instead of once. I'm not sure if she should still take her Foracort as planned or skip it. What should we do?

If your mom has accidentally taken Tiova twice, it's important not to take another dose of Tiova today. She can still take her usual Foracort dose, as long as she hasn't exceeded the recommended limit for either inhaler. If she feels any unusual symptoms like increased heart rate or dizziness, please seek medical advice promptly.

I've been using an asthalin salbutamol inhaler for the past 20 years. I'm wondering if there's any other option available that's similar. Also, how can I monitor or check my asthma attacks better?

If you're looking for alternatives to Asthalin (Salbutamol), your doctor may prescribe other bronchodilators like Levalbuterol or Formoterol, or combination inhalers that include an inhaled corticosteroid. To monitor your asthmatic attacks, consider using a peak flow meter, which measures how quickly you can breathe out air, and track your readings to identify patterns and potential triggers

I'm a bit confused and worried after my recent tests. I had pleura fluid removed and the ADA test showed a result of 55, leading the doctors to say it's Tuberculosis. I'm trying to figure out if this means I have pulmonary tuberculosis or pleura tuberculosis since it's involving the pleura fluid. Also, my Gene Xpert test came back with "mycobacterium not detected." Can you help me understand what type of TB this might be and whether it means I have drug-sensitive or drug-resistant tuberculosis? I'd really appreciate some clarity on this.

Physician opinion is advised to the patient.
