I'm dealing with asthma and have been using Foracort 2 puffs on an SOS basis. I also take Omnitan H for my blood pressure every morning. A while back, my doctor suggested Montgress FX Montair LC when I have breathing issues. Recently, I got viral pneumonia and ended up in the hospital. I recovered but tested positive for Covid later on, though I didn't have any symptoms. After 14 days, my Covid test came back negative. Now, my doctor recommended Montair LC for 10 days and Foracort 200, 2 puffs twice daily. I'm kind of confused about which medicine I should stick to for my asthma in the long run. I usually get breathless when I try to climb stairs past the first floor. Can you help me figure this out?

I'm having some trouble with congestion in my chest and hearing noises when I breathe, mostly because of dust, I think. A few days ago, I had a fever, and my back's been hurting, probably because of the breathing issues. Plus, the cough is making the pain in my throat and back worse. Can you give me some advice on what I should do?
Syrup salbutamol 10 ml orally thrice daily is advised to the patient.

I'm a bit worried about my latest lung X-ray results which mention an "apicolordotic view is suggested" for some pneumonia in both parahilar regions and a pleuro-diaphragmatic reaction in the right lower lung, affecting both hemidiaphragms. Could you explain what all this means? Is it something I should be concerned about?
The chest X-ray report suggests pneumonia in both parahilar regions and the right lower lung, along with a pleuro-diaphragmatic reaction, indicating inflammation of the lung linings and diaphragm, and recommends an apicolordotic view for further evaluation, which is a specialized X-ray view to better assess the lung apices and guide treatment for the pneumonia.
