I'm having trouble with my asthma lately. I've been on Seroflo 250 for about 5 years, but it doesn't seem to be helping much anymore. I'm wondering if Foracort 200 might be a better option. What do you think? Is it more effective?

Foracort 200 (Formoterol + Budesonide) and Seroflo 250 (Salmeterol + Fluticasone) are both combination inhalers for asthma, and while Foracort 200 may have a faster onset of action, Seroflo 250 has a longer duration of action; switching to Foracort 200 may help, but consult your doctor, as they can assess your asthma severity, adjust your treatment plan, and determine the best medication for you.

View allI'm worried about my dad because he's been dealing with this really bad fever, cough, and phlegm for over a week now. The doctor said it's BronchoPneumonia after looking at his test results. His CRP was 225, and both his chest x-ray results showed increased bronchovascular markings and prominent hila in the lungs. He's been on Augmentin 625 for five days, which seems to help since his fever dropped to 99 and CRP is now 51, but the x-ray looks the same. Is it normal for the x-ray not to show improvement yet? Should I be worried about something else, and how long does it usually take to see changes in the x-ray?

I've been dealing with this really bad cough for almost 20 days now. It's mostly at night and comes with mild yellow sputum. Sometimes, the coughing gets so bad that I feel breathless, and its tough to even sit up straight. I havent had any fever, body pain, or other symptoms like COVID-19, and I havent traveled or been in contact with anyone who could've been sick. Ive tried nebulizers, steam, gargling, but nothing seems to help. What could be causing this, and how can I find some relief?
do a chest xray

I'm really struggling with breathing properly because it feels like my lungs aren't getting enough air and my nose is almost always blocked. This has been going on for a few months now. Sometimes I get chest congestion too. It's affecting my sleep a lot since I wake up with a heavy head and I feel sleepy and drowsy the whole day. Could you suggest what might be going on?
