I'm really worried because I just got my medical results back, and they said theres some white area on the chest X-ray, particularly on the lower side of my left chest. It caused my medical to be deemed unfit. What could this possibly mean, and what should I do next? Do I need further tests or treatments?

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 feeling breathless for the past couple of weeks, but my X-ray and pulmonary function test came back normal. The doctor mentioned something about Telecast L. Can you help me understand what this is and how it might help with my breathlessness? I'm starting to worry since everything looks normal on the tests.

I've been dealing with a dry cough for the past two months, and no matter how many times I see doctors or try different medicines, it just doesn't get better. For a while, I might feel some relief, but then things go back to how they were. It's really starting to worry and scare me. I've even had an X-ray and blood tests done, and both came back normal, but there's always a little mucus. I just can't figure out what's happening. Can you please offer some guidance and help me find a way to get better?

That could be Allergic Bronchitis, identify the triggering factor and avoid it, consume warm foods and maintain healthy lifestyle
