I'm a 63-year-old woman and I've been dealing with breathing problems for the past ten years. I'm currently using medications like deriphyllin 150, essiflo puff, combimist puff, asthalin inhaler, and otrivin on a daily basis. I've also got a dust mite allergy. Is it alright for me to take all of these every day?

Can I nebulate with both Duolin and Budecort for post-COVID care? How would I go about using them together?

Duolin (Ipratropium and Salbutamol) and Budecort (Budesonide) can be used together for nebulization, as they complement each other in managing respiratory symptoms; for post-COVID care, use as directed by your doctor, typically 2-3 times a day, with a common regimen being Duolin 2.5ml + Budecort 1mg2ml, but adjust frequency and dosage based on individual symptoms and medical guidance.

I've had a cough and minor fever that started about 10 days ago. I took some medicine for it, but my cough still hasn't gotten any better. The fever usually kicks in during the evening, but not so much in the noon. Lately, my cough has gotten really bad, and it's so intense sometimes that it makes me vomit. I've also noticed a bit of blood in the mornings after coughing. The cough feels like it's coming from my chest rather than my throat. Could you help me figure out what might be going on?

I've been through quite a journey with TB since 2016, dealing with extra pulmonary TB and after a year of treatment and some surgery for fluid drainage, I thought I was in the clear. In 2019, even though I had some lymph node swelling, the tests came back negative, and my doctor said I didn't need further medication. But now, with my fianc being diagnosed with pulmonary TB last December, I'm freaking out a bit. Given my history and the close contact, should I be concerned about getting TB again?

kindly take precautions, your immunity might be weak . you might get infected once again
