I'm really worried about this dry cough and breathing trouble I've been having for about a month. It's more noticeable at night or in the morning and worsens when there's smoke, like from an agarbatti. I get some relief with Divya Swasari cough syrup, but it doesn't seem to completely go away even though I'm on antibiotics from my physician. Could you help me figure out what's going on or suggest what else I might try to finally get better?

I've been struggling with breathing issues for the past five years and have been relying on an inhaler and Montair LC tablets. I'm starting to worry about how long Ill need to stay on this medication. Could you help me understand if there are long-term effects I should be concerned about, or if there are any other treatments I might explore?

It sounds like you've been managing a chronic respiratory issue for the past five years, using an inhaler and Montair LC tablets to help with symptoms. It's important to continue following your prescribed treatment plan, but if you're noticing any changes or worsening of symptoms, it may be worth discussing with your doctor to adjust your management strategy.

I'm trying to understand my mom's X-ray report better. It mentions "Prominent bronchovascular markings in bilateral lower zones" and raises concerns about pneumonitis. They suggested an RTPCR test because of the current pandemic, but her test came back negative. Her oxygen levels are good at 99, and although she had a cough and fever, she's okay now with just a slight cough every now and then. Can you help explain what this all might mean?

report indicates that there was some inflammation or infection in her lungs (possibly pneumonitis), but since her RT-PCR test is negative, it's likely not related to COVID-19. The fact that her symptoms have improved (fever gone, only occasional cough) and her oxygen saturation is normal is a good sign of recovery.

My dad just got out of the hospital after dealing with Post Covid Pneumonia, but he's still really weak and has a bit of a cough. I'm worried about his energy levels and overall recovery. Can you recommend any diet plans, energy-boosting drinks, or medications that might help him regain his strength? Oh, and he's diabetic and continues to take his usual meds for that. What should we do?

have foods with increased immunity , like papaya juice, coconut water
