I'm dealing with a cold and running nose issue since I was a kid, and I found out I have asthma in 2016. I've been using that Budamate inhaler twice a day along with Arzep and Metatop nasal sprays. Originally, I used the sprays every day, twice a day, but now I only use them when my cold flares up. So here are my questions: sometimes I get a runny nose right when I wake up. Is it okay to use the Arzep and Metatop nasal sprays on an empty stomach? And can I use the inhaler on an empty stomach too? Another thing, I've been controlling my cold with Arzep, but are there any long-term effects if I keep using these nasal sprays regularly? I'm kinda worried about any side effects.

View allHey, I got my x-ray results back and it mentions "bronchovascular marking prominent." I'm a bit concerned and not sure what that means. Could you help me understand what might be going on or if it's something I should worry about?
The prominent bronchovascular marking seen in your x-ray report indicates increased markings of the blood vessels and bronchial tubes in your lungs. This can be a normal finding or may indicate conditions such as infection, inflammation, or fluid accumulation in the lungs. To provide a specific recommendation, it is important to determine the underlying cause of the prominent bronchovascular marking. I recommend further evaluation by a healthcare professional, such as a pulmonologist, who may suggest additional tests or imaging studies to make a definitive diagnosis. In the meantime, you can try over-the-counter cough suppressants like Dextromethorphan (e.g., Robitussin) to help with any associated cough. However, it is important to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the package.

I'm really anxious about my mom's recent chest pain. The doctor suggested a CT scan, and the report mentions something about alveolo fibrotic opacity in her left upper lobe and the superior segment of her right lower lobe. It also noted no pleural effusion thickening. Could you explain what all this means? I'm really worried about her.
