I'm really worried about my lungs. I came across this description saying something like lungs being damaged and compared to a "chocolate out of freeze." Could you explain what that means? Also, how serious is it if the infection in the lungs is really high? I'm just trying to understand how bad the damage could be.

Can I mix budecort and duolin for nebulization? I'm just a bit worried about whether it's safe to use them together. What are your thoughts on this?

Yes, Budecort (budesonide) and Duolin (ipratropium bromide and salbutamol) can be mixed together for nebulization, as they are commonly used in combination to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma

I've been dealing with bronchitis and asthma for around 4 years now. It tends to flare up seasonally, especially around September to October and February to March, and unfortunately, I usually end up in the hospital during those times. I'm also allergic to dust, and I'm not sure if these issues are due to my allergies, the change of seasons, or maybe both. I just had a chest X-ray done, and it shows a lung infection, plus my chest and lungs get clogged with a lot of cough during these periods. Could you give me some advice on how to manage or even cure these problems?

avoid exposure to morning cold. start taking steam inhalation atleast 4 -5 times per day
