I'm a bit worried about the Budamate 200 mcg inhaler I've been using for the past five days as prescribed by my pulmonologist. Could it potentially lead to secondary infections, like black fungus? Just trying to understand the risks better.

I just got my mom's chest X-ray results, and it mentions "small calcified nodules" in her right middle zone and right apical region, and it says something about tuberculosis. I'm really worried. Can you explain what this means? Is it something serious or risky that I should be concerned about? Also, what kind of treatment might be needed for this? I'm pretty stressed and just want to make sure she's okay. Can you help clarify all this for me?

I'm 24 and currently being treated for lymph node TB. Recently, I've been having some trouble with chest pain on my left side for about 5 months now. I'm not sure if it's because of my TB medications or maybe it's just anxiety. There's also some shortness of breath I'm dealing with. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

Im worried about my mom who was recently diagnosed with IPF or hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Sometimes she experiences a blocked nose and chest tightness, and it makes it hard for her to breathe, although shes stable with her oxygen levels around 98-99%. The doctor suggested Foracort 200 rotacaps for her wheezing, but she doesn't wheeze all the time. She tried taking it once in the morning and once in the evening, but were not sure how often she should be using the Foracort. Is there a recommended routine for this, and can we use a nebulizer to help with her nasal blockage? Would an inhaler be a better option for these symptoms? Any advice would be appreciated.

To use rotcaps you might be give rotahaler,that comes with a user manual follow the guidelines and use it accordingly.
