Question 1

Having this dry cough for over a week now and I remember that Dr. Srinath Karthick recommended LUPITUS syrup and BUDATE 200 Lupihaler capsules a year back. I still have some of the syrup and started taking it again, but it seems I really need those BUDATE 200 capsules to fully get better. The problem is they're not available in the market now. Could you suggest any alternative medicine I could try? I'm really hoping to kick this cough soon!

Accepted Answer

Budesonide 200mcg  capsules is advised to the patient whenever episodes of breathing difficulty.

Question 2

I'm currently dealing with active tuberculosis and I'm on a treatment plan taking Combutol 800 in the morning and an Ambystryn injection in the evening. I'm a bit worried and wondering if this is the correct treatment for my condition. Could you share your thoughts or advice on this?

Accepted Answer

-It sounds like you're on the right treatment for active TB, as Combipack (Combutol) and Ambystryn (Amikacin) are commonly used. However, it's crucial to follow your doctor's advice and attend regular follow-ups to ensure the treatment is effective. Stay

Question 3

I'm having some trouble breathing, and I got my blood test results back showing my eosinophils are at 7.3. I had a chest X-ray done too, but it came back normal. Could the eosinophil levels be related to my breathing issues even though the X-ray didn't show anything? What does this mean for my health?

Accepted Answer

Your eosinophil count of 7.3% indicates a high level, which could be related to allergies, asthma, or parasitic infections. Since your chest X-ray is normal, it is less likely to be a serious lung issue. I recommend taking a short course of an antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily to help with any allergic reactions causing your breathing trouble. Additionally, you can use an inhaler like Salbutamol 100mcg for quick relief if needed. If symptoms persist, follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

Probable diagnosis is upper respiratory tract infection.Patient is advised tab augmentin 625mg orally,thrice dailly for 5 days,tab levocetrizine 10 mg for 5 days and syrup salbutoml 10 ml thrice dailly for 5 days.
