I'm dealing with pretty bad eosinophilia post nasal drip, and I've been taking a combination of meds including Pulmoclear, azithromycin, Norvent D syrup, Duolin Forte inhaler, Hetrazan, and some mucaine gel syrup for the last three days. I'm still coughing nonstop, day and night, and it's really affecting my sleep and appetite. I'm worried and not sure if I'm on the right track with the treatment or if there's something else I should be doing. Could you please help me understand what's going on and what I could possibly do to feel better?

I'm a bit worried because my x-ray results mentioned "minimal fibrosis noted in the upper lobes." What exactly does that mean? Should I be concerned? I'm just trying to understand it better.

Minimal fibrosis in the upper lobes of your lungs means there is a small amount of scarring in that area. This could be due to past inflammation or mild lung injury, but it generally doesn't indicate a serious condition. Its important to monitor your symptoms and follow up with your doctor for further evaluation if needed.

I've been dealing with constant wheezing even after using Budamate inhalers at 400 mcg three times a day and taking Montelukast. Sometimes the wheezing is really loud, and other times it's just a bit quieter, but it never completely goes away. It's winter now where I live. My peak flow meter reads 650. I'm really looking for a permanent solution to my wheezing. When might it fully stop?
