I'm currently using an Asthalin inhaler for my asthma, but I'm wondering if there's a better alternative out there. I really want to manage my asthma more effectively. Do you know of any inhalers that might work better or offer improved management?

Only asthalin is used only in a very mild form of asthma. If the asthma is not controlled on asthalin only, you may have to use other inhalers. It is best that you show a chest physician who can examine and prescribe you appropriate inhaler.

I've been noticing blood when I sneeze for a while now, and it's showing up in my sputum too. It started back in March 2016, and although I tested negative for TB, a doctor recommended a budamate inhaler and TelecastL, which helped stop the bleeding. I stopped the medication after a couple of months without consulting the doctor, and now the bleeding is back. The doctor suggested a bronchoscopy, but there aren't any available beds at the hospital, and now the doctor is on leave. I already had a CT scan done on my chest, but I'm really concerned about what might be causing this hemoptysis and what steps I should take next. Could you give me some guidance?
