I'm really concerned about my MRI scan results that showed a pleural effusion and SOL on the right side of my chest. I've already been on medication for 12 months, and the doctor mentioned that a scar might appear but said I don't need to take more medication. Should I be worried about this scar, and is it normal to stop medication now?

View allI'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.

I've been noticing blood when I sneeze for a while now, and it's showing up in my sputum too. It started back in March 2016, and although I tested negative for TB, a doctor recommended a budamate inhaler and TelecastL, which helped stop the bleeding. I stopped the medication after a couple of months without consulting the doctor, and now the bleeding is back. The doctor suggested a bronchoscopy, but there aren't any available beds at the hospital, and now the doctor is on leave. I already had a CT scan done on my chest, but I'm really concerned about what might be causing this hemoptysis and what steps I should take next. Could you give me some guidance?
