I'm really worried because I feel like there's water in my lungs. It's leading to really bad chest pain and pain in my lung area. I'm also finding it really hard to breathe. Could this be something serious? What can I do about it?

I'm really worried about my mom who's been on pulmonary tb meds for six months now. They didn't find any cavities, just some infections initially, and she's feeling better, but I came across a few blogs that said these meds might actually harm the lungs and could lead to more infections down the line. Is that something we should be worried about? What should we do to prevent any long-term issues? Would love some advice.

I'm wondering about a change in my inhaler meds recently. I've always had these bronchial issues right from when I was a kid. My doc swapped out my Levosalbutamol inhaler for a Budesonide corticosteroid inhaler. But I'm a bit nervous about using steroids because Ive heard once you start, you can't just stop. Does anyone have any advice on if this is really safe? Would really love to hear some opinions on this.

I've been trying so hard to quit smoking and just decided to finally kick the habit. I stumbled onto something online about lung wash procedures that apparently help clear out the tar in the lungs from smoking. Does anyone know where I can get a regular lung wash done in Gurgaon? I'm really curious if this could help me breathe better.

Patient is advised tab nicotex orally for 6-8 weeks.
