I'm 33 years old and really struggling with asthma and some gastro issues. Plus, I'm quite overweight at 91 kg, and I think dropping about 20 kg might help with the asthma. Do you have any advice or can you recommend any medicine or tablets that would be suitable for me?

I was curious if the lung fibrosis that develops after having COVID is usually restrictive or does it tend to be progressive? I've attached my CT scan report from after my COVID treatment for some context. During my hospital stay, I received remdesivir injections.

Post-COVID lung fibrosis is typically restrictive, meaning it limits lung expansion and reduces lung capacity. However, its progression can vary depending on the severity and individual response to treatment. If you have concerns, please consult your doctor for a more personalized assessment.

I've been dealing with a persistent cough for about six months now. Initially, it was just a cough, but recently I've noticed some blood when I cough, though it's only happened once or twice. I went to NIMS and they did an X-ray and endoscopy, but didn't find anything and they prescribed me Reswas and Trenxa syrup. Unfortunately, the cough hasn't improved and it tends to get worse at night. I'm feeling okay otherwise, but this nighttime cough is really starting to bother me. Could you suggest where I should go next or what kind of specialist I should consult?

I'm really struggling with my bronchial asthma. Lately, I've been coughing non-stop, day and night. I've been using my inhalers, levolin viola and Airtec FB 200, which used to help, but now they dont seem to be doing anything for my wheezing and coughing. I only get this issue during the winter months. What can I do to get some relief?
