I noticed I've been breathing about 25 times a minute when I checked my respiration rate. Is that normal or is it a bit fast? If it's not typical, what might be causing this?

I'm really concerned because my mom has been taking Serobid Rotacaps for about four years now without any issues, but I've heard there's a shortage of the 50 mcg ones across the country. Could you recommend a non-steroid alternative for this? I just want to make sure she continues her treatment without any interruptions.

Foracort 200 rotacaps is advised to the patient.

I'm really worried about my dad. He's had coughing problems for the past few days, and he just did a Mantoux test which showed a 45 mm reading after 48 hours. Could this be a sign of tuberculosis?
