I'm really worried about my wheezing problem that I've had since I was a 6-month-old baby. My parents took me to various consultants trying to fix it, but nothing really worked. The last doctor I saw was Dr. Raju at Raju hospitals. He ran some tests and suggested I use Cipla Inhalers. So, I've been using CIPLA ROTOCAPS Seroflo 100 for almost 15 years now. I'm scared that if these inhalers are ever unavailable, I won't make it past a week. Recently, my wheezing got really bad because I've been traveling a lot and the cold weather doesn't help, even though I'm based in Chennai. I'm just wondering, should I keep using Seroflo 100 rotocaps or consider other medicines to finally get rid of this wheezing for good?

I'm still coughing even after being off TB treatment for a couple of months. I never really stopped coughing since I was first diagnosed. I've been free of TB for two months now. I really want to get back to normal life. They checked my sputum again, and it came back negative. Im just wondering what I should do next?

I'm wondering when during the day I should be checking my blood oxygen levels. I've got an oximeter at home, but I'm not sure how often or what times are best to use it. Could you give me some guidance on this?
-Hi, it's generally recommended to check blood oxygen levels 2-3 times a dayonce in the morning, once in the afternoon, and once before bed. You can also check if you feel short of breath or dizzy, or if you're monitoring a specific health condition.
