I'm having some trouble with a bad cough since yesterday, and now I'm experiencing more chest pain. Today, it's even getting hard to breathe, and there's a wheezing sound when I breathe. My sputum has turned yellowish-green, and I'm breathing rapidly. It's really uncomfortable, and I've never had any history of asthma before. Could this be asthma or just an allergic reaction? What should I do? Please help me figure this out.

I'm just wondering if the Budamate 200 mcg inhaler could be harmful because I know it's a steroid. Is it as risky as other steroids? I'm also concerned about whether using it could lead to something like black fungus. I used it for about five days when I was recovering from COVID. Can you help me understand the possible side effects?

Seroflo rotahaler sos for breathing difficulty is advised to the patient.

I'm really worried about my mom's lymph nodes TB treatment. I went to two different private hospitals and got two kinds of prescriptions. One doctor told me to give her Akurit 4, two tablets a day, and the other suggested AKT 4. Her weight is 63 kg, and I've read that TB medicine doses depend on weight. When I looked into it, it seems like AKT 4 suits her weight better than Akurit 4, which seems too low. Now I'm confused about which one would be more effective. Should I consider going to a government hospital for DOTS treatment instead? Is DOTS better, or should we stick with private care? Any advice would be much appreciated.

I've been dealing with a really bad cough for the last week. When I saw a few local doctors, they told me it's a throat infection, and I even got three injections, including steroids, but nothing has changed. I recently started using a pump, but still no sign of improvement. What should I do next?
