Question 1

I've been dealing with bronchial asthma for a few days now, and I've realized that being around a lot of dust and my pet, who's shedding more than usual, might be making it worse. I've been using budamate 200 transcaps for a while and taking Montiar LC for my allergies. Just bought some piriton syrup and broncocin 200SR with an old prescription and started them last night, but I'm not noticing much improvement. I'm also anxious, which isn't helping my breathing problems. Could you suggest if I should switch inhalers or recommend an antibiotic that might help? Looking forward to your advice.

Accepted Answer

avoid dust and drink warm water , stay hydrated

Question 3

I've noticed that black mucus is coming out, but I'm not experiencing any other discomfort. I'm not a smoker either, so I'm a bit confused about what could be causing this. Is this something I should be worried about, and could you suggest which type of doctor I should see for this issue?

Accepted Answer

Black mucus can be caused by various factors, including environmental pollution, dust, or fungal infections, and in non-smokers, it may also be related to conditions like bronchitis, asthma, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), so it's recommended to consult a pulmonologist or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist for a proper evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment, and in the meantime, consider keeping a symptom journal and avoiding exposure to pollutants.

I'm 25 and I just got my X-ray results back. It says "bronchovascular markings are mildly prominent." I'm really worriedcould this mean I have tuberculosis or something else serious? Could you help me understand what this finding might indicate?

Differential diagnosis could be asthma,cronic bronchitis,pneumonia,churg strauss syndrome,etc, u can take tab Azee 500 mg once daily for 5 days, if symtoms not subsiding ,cardiac opinion is advised.
