I'm really concerned about my dad; he's in the semi-ICU right now. Can anyone please guide me on what kind of food would be best for him since he's dealing with pneumonia? What kind of diet should we follow to help him get better?

View allI'm a bit concerned about a recent x-ray I had for a job-related issue. The report mentioned something about bronchovascular markings in my lungs. I'm wondering if it would help to take an antibiotic course to improve my condition. I have a small amount of breathing trouble, but it gets much worse whenever I catch a cold. Could you give me some advice on what I could do to prevent lung infections?
Bronchovascular markings on an X-ray indicate inflammation or congestion, but antibiotics are only effective against bacterial infections; to prevent lung infections and manage symptoms, consider consulting your pulmonologist

My mom was admitted to Apollo Hospital on May 27th, 2017, with pneumonia. She's had a heart surgery back in 2009. Right now, she's being treated for pneumonia and is in the MICU with a ventilator. I'm really worried and just want to know how long it might take for her to recover from pneumonia.
2-4 weeks.

I'm really worried because my mom has been using Foracort 400 and Tiova inhalers twice daily for about ten years now, but today she accidentally took Tiova twice instead of once. I'm not sure if she should still take her Foracort as planned or skip it. What should we do?
If your mom has accidentally taken Tiova twice, it's important not to take another dose of Tiova today. She can still take her usual Foracort dose, as long as she hasn't exceeded the recommended limit for either inhaler. If she feels any unusual symptoms like increased heart rate or dizziness, please seek medical advice promptly.
