I'm kind of worried because my asthma symptoms have come back after moving to Chennai. I'm experiencing tiredness, shortness of breath, palpitations, and it's really hard to exercise. I was previously on momeflo and Foracort 200 about 5 years ago for a year and it helped keep things in control. Should I consider restarting these medications, or is there something else I should try? What would you suggest?

I'm a bit concerned because I got my x-ray report back today, and it says I have a ground glass appearance in the peripheral region of my left lung. I'm not really sure what this means or why it would happen. Could you help me understand this?

ground glass appearance can be due to various reasons of lung pathology, should correlate with your clinical symptoms

I'm feeling kind of worried because I've been experiencing some heavy breathing on and off for a few days now. I have an allergy and I'm already taking montelukast tablets and using my inhaler with 250mg three times a day. The weird thing is, I don't have any trouble when I'm walking or jogging, and my oxygen levels are good at 98%. Could you help me understand what's going on?

continue the inhaler if symptoms exacerbated

I got diagnosed with Tuberculosis in Amritsar and recently moved to Delhi for better treatment. The new doctor here told me to keep taking the red medicine I got from the government hospital in Amritsar. I did another x-ray, and the report says there's still fluid in my lungs, but the doctor mentioned it should dry up on its own. It's been 15 days on this medication, but I'm still having trouble breathing, keep getting fevers, and my chest hurts a lot. Do you think I should consider fluid aspiration?

no, continue the treatment for 4 months then go for next procedure
