I'm having some trouble with my breathing, and my nose feels really blocked. It's also making me feel kind of nauseous. Plus, there's this sharp pain when I touch the upper right part of my chest. I went to the doctor, and he gave me antibiotics and something for asthma, and that helped a lot. But I'm wondering, could my smoking, about five cigarettes a day, be making this worse? Should I be worried about any long-term effects?

My mom used to take Theoasthalin SR, Romilast B10, and Foracort Forte 12400mcg for her asthma, and it worked really well for her. But now I can't find Theoasthalin SR anywhere. Do you know what a good substitute would be? It's kind of worrying since it was so effective for her.

Continue same treatment.Also etophylline orally ,twice daily is advised to the patient.

My mom's dealing with some serious breathing issues. She was hospitalized with a chest infection and her lungs are all bloated. They found pseudomonas in her blood culture and she was on Pepar IV three times a day for 10 days, plus steroids, Budamate, and Duolin nebulizers. Even after all that, she's still having trouble breathing and the infections getting worse. After she was discharged, they put her on Linezolid 600 for five days, but it didn't help. Now they've suggested we keep an oxygen cylinder at home because of her breathing problems. Is there anything we can do to keep her oxygen level above 90 without the cylinder at home? Shes also dealing with CKD, thyroid issues, diabetes, and vasculitis. She's currently on a bunch of meds like Pulmoclear, Montair Fx, MMF, Wyslone, Amlip, Aztor, Human Actrapid, Lantus, Erythropoietin, Budamate inhaler, and Dytor. Any guidance would be really appreciated.

I've been dealing with bronchitis for the past two months and it's really getting to me. I've tried all sorts of antibiotics, but nothing seems to help. Why isn't this going away? What else can I do to finally get some relief?

Salbutomol inhaler and budesonide 200 sos is advised for breathing difficulty.
