I'm struggling with asthma since I was a kid, and I used to manage it with Evocort 400 rotacaps whenever I noticed symptoms. But now, I can't find them anymore because Cipla stopped making them. Do you know of any alternatives I could try?

I'm a bit worried because I've been dealing with a dry cough for about six months now. I did take a full course of an antibiotic syrup after consulting with my doctor, but the cough just keeps coming back. Interestingly, I noticed that when I traveled to Varanasi for a week, I didnt cough at all, but as soon as I got back to Panvel, the coughing started up again. Could this be related to something environmental or do you think theres another issue at play?

The persistent dry cough for six months, despite antibiotic treatment, and its mysterious disappearance during a 7-day trip to Varanasi, only to return upon coming back to Panvel, suggests an environmental trigger; consider consulting a pulmonologist or allergist to investigate possible causes, such as air pollution, dust, mold, or pet allergies, specific to the Panvel environment, and conduct tests like spirometry, chest X-ray, or allergy panels to determine the underlying cause.

I'm a bit worried about my CT report that mentions I have a soft tissue pleural-based nodular lesion in the left upper lobe. It's measuring about 27x18x30 mm. I'm not sure if I should go for a biopsy or a PET scan next. Could you advise on what might be the best course of action?
