I'm wondering if Duolin helps clear mucus from my airways. If so, where does the mucus go once it's cleared? Does it pass out through feces or does it just dry up in the airways?

Yes it helps in clearing the mucus, Usually it comes out with cough or gets dried up there.

I've been dealing with bronchial asthma since 2015, and usually, I just take my rotacapsules when it's hard to breathe. I don't get serious attacks, but there's often a wheezing sound, and breathing gets tough sometimes. Lately, though, I've noticed it's getting worse after meals. My stomach feels tight, and I've had to use my MAXIFLOW 250mg rotacapsules more frequently. Could you help me understand what's going on and how I can manage this better? Are there specific things I should be eating or avoiding to help with this issue?

I'm a 30-year-old guy and I've been smoking for a while, up to 3 packs a day for 21 years. I recently had a chest CT scan and the results mentioned something about "patchy air trapping bilaterally." I'm trying to understand what that actually means and if its related to my smoking. Should I be worried about this? Can you help explain it to me?

in alveoli the air trapping would have happened, it is due to high sputum production.
