I'm having trouble with my breathing and my doctor mentioned it's bronchial asthma caused by allergies. He suggested using a Budecort 200 inhaler to help me breathe better. I'm just not too sure how many puffs I should be taking each day. Can you help me figure it out?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
2 puffs each time for 2-3 times per day

View allI had a fever last week and also a cough for about three days. For the past three mornings, I've been noticing blood in my sputum for about 5 to 10 minutes, then nothing the rest of the day. I still have an occasional cough. Should I be worried about this? I've attached my chest X-ray and CBC. Could you take a look and let me know?
The presence of blood in your sputum, known as hemoptysis, can have various causes such as infections, inflammation, or more serious conditions like pneumonia, bronchitis, or even pulmonary embolism. Considering your symptoms and test results, I recommend a course of antibiotics to treat any underlying infection. Additionally, an antitussive medication can help with your cough. It is crucial to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
