I'm really worried about my son. He caught a cold back in January 2014 and then started coughing a lot, having trouble breathing too. A doctor prescribed budate 200 rotacap, which he used for two years. After that, everything seemed fine for about eight months, but then the symptoms returned in December. So we saw another doctor who gave him a Levolin inhaler. We've now consulted a pulmonologist who has prescribed formonide 100, deriphyllin od 300, and montair lc kid. How long do you think he should keep taking these medicines?

I'm having a tough time with my breathingI struggle to take deep breaths sometimes, and I've been relying on breathing through my mouth for the past four months. I visited a pulmonologist who had me take a chest X-ray, but it came back normal. He prescribed Razo D Tab 20mg for three weeks. Things seemed better during the first week, but by the second week, the breathing issues returned. Other than this, I'm eating well and sleeping properly, but every now and then, when the breathing gets difficult, I feel fatigued. There's no other issue apart from this. However, due to the current lockdown, I can't visit a clinic for a follow-up. What should I do next? Any suggestions on managing this?

I've been dealing with breathing issues and intense itching all over my body for the past three years. I've been taking Fix AR tablets and using rotacap, as prescribed by Dr. Bapat, but I'm still not getting much relief. Is there something else I should be trying, or could there be an underlying cause that we're missing? It's been really frustrating, and I'm just not sure what to do next. Can you help?

I'm really worried about my mom's recent X-ray results. She's diabetic and had a heart bypass back in 2012. The X-ray mentioned something about fibrosis in both upper lobes, and I've been reading up on fibrosis, especially pulmonary fibrosis. It seems so scary since it's apparently incurable and can be fatal. I really dont want to lose her. Can you tell me more about what this means and what we should do next?

I understand your concern, and it's completely natural to worry. Fibrosis in the lungs can sometimes be related to conditions like diabetes or previous heart surgery, but it doesn't always mean pulmonary fibrosis or anything fatal. It's important to follow up with the doctor who can assess her overall health and guide you on the next steps for treatment and management.
