Question

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been having symptoms like a dry cough and shortness of breath. The doctor suggested an HRCT scan, so we got it done. Can you check the report and help us understand what's really going on with his condition?

Question

I'm really worried about my grandma. She's got mild asthma, so sometimes her breathing gets really heavy. My aunt, who's a nurse, mentioned that using Duolin and Budecort in a nebulizer might help when things get tough for her. We've been doing it like once or twice a week whenever she feels bad. But when I checked online, I saw that the dosage and timing should be decided by a doctor. So, I'm wondering if it's okay to keep giving her these meds like we've been doing. Should we be using them together or separately? Whats the right dosage, and how often can we safely use them for her in the nebulizer? I'm really hoping for some advice here!

Question

Sometimes in the last two days, I've been experiencing shortness of breath and a tight feeling in my chest. I dont have any other symptoms. I was diagnosed with a bronchitis tendency a few years ago. After having COVID back in April 2021, I got a pulmonary analysis, and that was normal. With COVID still a concern, it's tough to meet a doctor face-to-face. Do you think it's safe for me to take Aerocort and Asthaline 4mg twice a day for 5 days? Any other advice you can share?
