I'm traveling right now and I have asthma, but I forgot to bring my Foracort 100 medicine. I do have Tiova, Seroflo, and Salbair with me because my mom uses them. Can I take any of these instead of Foracort? Please let me know as soon as you can.

Use Seroflo as a substitute for Foracort. It will help with both controlling inflammation and keeping your airways open. Use Salbair for immediate relief if you're having difficulty breathing or experiencing an asthma attack.

Is there any issue if I took my TB medicine in the evening instead of the morning? I ended up taking the dose at 5 o'clock when I was supposed to take it at 11 in the morning. I didn't skip it or anything. Could this be a problem?

Continue same treatment as advised by the physician.

I'm a bit worried about something I read in a report: there's something called a "suspicious infiltration" in my right upper lobe. I work full-time, and I'm wondering if that's okay, considering this condition? Should I be concerned about continuing my job as usual?

need to check clinically and let it know

I'm really worried about my friend. His oxygen level is around 90 when he's on 2L of support, but it drops to 55 when he tries to sit or do anything active. I know he had corona, and his CT score was 1424 on May 7, 2021. They've given him remdesivir, and he seems to be recovering from the virus, but he's having trouble breathing when the oxygen support is removed. It's been a month since he tested positive for COVID, yet he still needs oxygen. He recently had another CT scan on May 28, and the score is up to 2124. Can you help me understand what's going on with him? Why is he still facing these breathing issues? He's still in the hospital, and we're just really concerned.

his CT score has increased that means his infection is increased. that infection needs to be reduced then only he can be without oxygen support
