View allI've been having a really bad cough with lots of white phlegm, and my doctor recommended I take Cepodem XP 325. It's not getting better though, so I'm wondering if it's okay to add Pulmoclear along with Cepodem. What do you think?
It's best to consult your doctor before adding Pulmoclear with Cepodem XP 325, as combining medications may need careful consideration. If your cough persists, a follow-up with your doctor might help to adjust your treatment plan.

I've been dealing with ongoing health issues, starting with demotomiyositis back in 2005 which required steroids like dexcona. These treatments led to complications, including a lung infection, for which I had to undergo several DOTS courses in 2012, 2014, and an 18-month course that wrapped up in April 2017. Recently, I unexpectedly began coughing up blood right around Diwali and had to be hospitalized twice in just one month. This happened again quite recently with more blood from the mouth. I'm really worried about what's going on and wondering if this bleeding might be something I shouldn't worry about. What kind of treatment should I be looking at for this? Are the medications I'm getting in Kota sufficient, or should I be considering a specialist in AIIMS for a more thorough evaluation?
The presence of blood from the mouth is not normal and should be taken seriously, as it could indicate a serious underlying condition. Immediate medical evaluation is necessary to determine the cause and appropriate treatment. It is advisable to seek a second opinion at a specialized hospital like AIIMS for a comprehensive assessment, especially if the current treatment in Kota isn't providing adequate relief.

I'm having a tough time with my wheezing tonight and I've got a Foracort inhaler with me, but I just realized that it's expired by three years. It's really late now, and there aren't any pharmacies open. Is it safe to use this expired inhaler to get some relief until I can see a doctor?
See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.
