I'm a bit confused right now. I recently had a pretty bad asthma attack, and my doctor switched me to this duolin inhaler. Before that, I was using the Rotahaler, mainly because it was cheaper. I'm trying to figure out if the duolin inhaler is actually better for me or if I can just go back to using the Rotahaler like before. Any advice on what I should do?

Duolin inhaler, containing a combination of Levosalbutamol and Ipratropium, is generally considered more effective than Rotahaler (containing only Levosalbutamol) for managing severe asthma symptoms, as it provides both bronchodilation and anti-inflammatory effects, so it's recommended to continue with Duolin inhaler as advised by your doctor.

View allHey, I'm reaching out about my niece who's 13. She was diagnosed with typhoid in November, and they've been giving her really strong meds for that, along with malaria and dengue because she had a fever back then too. Now they've found out she has TB, and I'm desperately searching for a good TB doctor for her. She's gotten so weak she can't even swallow the meds now, and it's really hard to see her like this. Can you help?

So, I've been told I have TB and my liver tests came back fine. The government hospital gave me 6 tablets to take all at once. I'm just wondering, is it okay to also take Pan, Liv52, and a Vitamin B6 tablet with these? Oh, and by the way, I'm 31, weigh 84.5 kg, and I have kidney stones but no other health issues. Any advice?
Yes,continue all the medications as advised by the physician.

I'm dealing with a cough that's been lingering for about four days now, and I've been taking azithromycin and asthakind cough syrup. It's been pretty bothersome and sometimes even gives me a headache. Just wondering if there's something else I should try or be worried about? Any suggestions would really help.
Considering you've already taken azithromycin (an antibiotic) and Asthakind cough syrup, here are some next steps: *Next Steps* 1. *Consult your doctor*: Schedule a follow-up appointment to reassess your condition. 2. *Cough syrup adjustment*: Ask your doctor if you can switch to a different cough syrup or adjust the dosage. 3. *Pain relief*: For headaches, you can try over-the-counter pain relievers like paracetamol (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil). 4. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of fluids to help thin out mucus and soothe your throat. 5. *Rest*: Get plenty of rest to help your body recover. *When to Seek Immediate Medical Attention* 1. *Difficulty breathing*: If you experience shortness of breath or difficulty breathing. 2. *Chest pain*: If you have severe chest pain or pressure. 3. *Fever*: If your fever exceeds 102F (39C) or lasts for an extended period. 4. *Severe headache*: If your headache is severe, persistent, or accompanied by confusion, disorientation, or stiff neck.
