Good morning doctor, my grandma had cataract surgery about 10 days ago, and before that, she was dealing with asthma and pleural effusion. Lately, shes experiencing some hoarseness when she breathes. Were considering using a nebulizer with budecort for her. Do you think that would be okay?

yes you can give nebulization

I recently got my lab results and I'm pretty concerned because my TLC is really high at 13700, ESR is 80, and my neutrophils are also high at 80. Plus, my lymphocytes are low. The sputum gram stain shows positive cocci, but the culture report just says normal flora. I haven't had a fever, but I'm experiencing pain when I inhale, and my phlegm sometimes has a foul smell or even looks rusty brown. I've also been dealing with tonsillitis. Do you think there's a chance I might have tuberculosis, or could this just be some kind of other infection? I'd really appreciate any insights.

Do CBNAAT.

My mom's dealing with ILD NSIP, and while she's on allopathic treatment, her symptoms like severe dry cough and shortness of breath haven't improved much. I'm wondering if there's any hope with homeopathy. Can you shed some light on this?
