I'm having wheezing for the past couple of days, mostly at night and not so much during the day. My doctor told me to use one puff at night an hour before I go to sleep. I'm wondering if I should gargle my throat right after using the inhaler, or if there's anything else I should be doing. Also, if I stop using the inhaler after 15 days, could the wheezing come back?

Yes ,gargling is advised to the patient inorder to prevent fungal infection.

I'm really worried because I've been struggling with shortness of breath for the past six months, especially at night, and it's making it impossible for me to sleep. I had a pulmonary test and they mentioned something about pneumobilia. Can you explain what that is and what might be causing this?

I'm really worried about my friend who's been having these health issues. They've done an X-ray and blood tests, and there's a mix of opinions. Some are saying it could be TB, while others think it might be pneumonia. He's got a really bad cough and also has diabetes. What should we be looking out for, and what steps should we take next?
