I'm curious about something... After finishing the treatment for tuberculosis, are there any marks left on the lungs? Could these marks cause any problems in the future? Is it possible to live a normal life with these marks on the lungs? Also, what are some ways to take care if there are marks left on the lungs?

I'm really worried because my IgE level is 1180. I've been experiencing wheezing and coughing, and I also have some red spots on my skin. I consulted a doctor, and they mentioned it might be asthma. I've got my PFT reports attached. Can you help me understand what's going on and what I should do next?

Is it okay for a 17-year-old boy to use an asthalin inhaler? If I start using it, do I need to carry it everywhere I go? Could it actually lead to more breathing issues after using it? I checked online and found info saying the inhaler works for about 4-6 hours after taking two puffs. Does that mean the breathing problems will definitely return after those hours?

consult pulmonologist he will guide you about good inhalers that u have to take for only one or two times according to your requirements

I'm currently dealing with a tough breathing issue due to severe bronchitis and I've been trying out a few medications like the levosalbutamol inhaler, ibites inhaler, pulmoclear syrup, and also using a nasal spray for about two days. But ever since I started, I've noticed my heart rate is going through the roof, and on top of that, I'm feeling really restless and sleepy. Any idea how I can manage these side effects or should I be worried about them?

reduce the levosalbutamol inhaler dose
