I'm dealing with allergic rhinitis and I've been using Foracort 200 puff for a couple of months now because of my shortness of breath. I've been doing 1 puff in the morning and another in the evening. I'm starting to feel better and don't have any breathing issues now. Can I cut back to just taking a puff in the morning? I've been checking my peak flow meter at home.

I'm really worried about my grandfather. He just had a CT scan, and the doctors in our town said he has ILD. Given everything going on with the pandemic, we're struggling to get him to see a pulmonologist in a bigger city. He smoked once, worked at a cotton mill for two decades, and has been in agriculture and poultry farming. With all this, plus his age, I'm just wondering how much longer we can wait before seeing a specialist. Are there any temporary measures or remedies we can take at home to keep his ILD from getting worse until we can get that appointment? Would love any advice you can share.
