I'm 30 and have been dealing with some lung pain for about five months now. I've had an ultrasound, and the doctor mentioned swelling in my lungs. The pain gets worse when I sleep on my sides or stretch. I've had asthma since childhood and use a Foracort inhaler. My X-ray also shows an infection. Could you advise me on what medicine might help with this?

take tablet amoxyclav for 5 days , twice a day

I'm a 53-year-old man living in Delhi and every year during the humid months of July through September, I start getting these breathing problems. So far, I've been taking Montair LC every couple of days at night, and it helps. But sometimes if I forget, I end up using Asthaline inhaler when I get breathless, and then I take Montair LC, which usually makes things better. I've recently heard that Montair LC might have some side effects, and now I'm a bit worried about continuing with it. Should I just stick to using the Asthaline inhaler whenever I feel I need it, instead of taking Montair LC regularly?

if it is required then only take monteclc , otherwise you can use asthalin inhaler
