I'm struggling a lot with my recent diagnosis of pulmonary fibrosis. I've got this stubborn cough that just won't go away, I can't seem to sleep well at night, and I keep running a low-grade fever. It's really frustrating because I can't taste food properlyeverything has this weird bitter taste. Since I know there's no cure for pulmonary fibrosis, I'm really hoping to find ways to manage these symptoms and get some relief. Could you please guide me on what steps I might take?

Is there actually a long-term cure for asthma? I'm dealing with really uncomfortable chest tightness and shortness of breath. My doctor suggested using the Budetrol 200 Rotacap inhaler for a couple of months, and it helps, but if I skip it for a day or two, all my symptoms just come rushing back. It's frustrating, and I'm worried about relying on the inhaler indefinitely. What should I do? Any advice on this would be really appreciated.

I've been having frequent asthma attacks and it seems like my current meds, Foracort rotacaps and Levolin, aren't really doing the trick. There's no fever or sneezing, and my PFT results show moderate obstruction. I'm not a smoker either. I've already talked to a bunch of pulmonologists, but I'm still struggling. What would you recommend for better treatment?

I've been dealing with a cough for the past month and my fever keeps hovering between 102 and 104. I just got my test results back: my Mentaux test is positive and my chest X-ray shows some bronchetactics changes in the left upper-mid zone. There's also been mention of bronchial wall thickening and nodular densities in the upper zone. The report says it could be an infectious or inflammatory issue. I'm really worriedis this something serious that needs immediate attention, or is it likely to improve on its own? Any advice on how to handle this would be really appreciated.

Seroflo rotahaler sos for breathing difficulty is advised to the patient.
