I'm feeling really concerned as I've been dealing with asthma for the past 20 years. Right now, I'm under the care of Dr. Jafrey, but I'm also managing diabetes. I'm curious about how these two conditions might be affecting each other or if the treatments could be interacting in any way. Could this be impacting my asthma management, and is there anything specific I should be keeping in mind?

I'm thinking about taking Deriphyllin tablets along with Prednisolone tablets. I'm a bit worried if there might be any interactions or side effects when these two medications are taken together. Could you help clarify this for me?

I've been really worried. Back in May, I had a severe case of COVID and ended up in the hospital with a CT score of 18. My last CT scan in July showed just a bit of that ground glass opacity left. It's been about six months since I was in the hospital, and my SPO2 is around 98-99 now. Do you think I should get an X-ray or another CT scan again? Or maybe some other tests just to be sure?

Yes, patient is advised tab chlorphenaramine ,orally ,at edtime for 3 days.

I'm a bit worried about the Budamate 200 mcg inhaler I've been using for the past five days as prescribed by my pulmonologist. Could it potentially lead to secondary infections, like black fungus? Just trying to understand the risks better.

Yes ,continue same treatment as advised by the pulmonologist.
