I've been dealing with asthma and allergic rhinitis since I was a kid. Lately, I've noticed that every evening I get this wheezing sound, and while using the asthalin or Foracort inhaler helps, it just flares up again after a few hours. I'm also on Montelukast and Fexofenadine, and sometimes Levocetrizine before bed. The rhinitis seems to have gotten worse in the past few weeks, and I've started sweating more than usual. Could you suggest what might be going on or what I should do next?

Is there a specific age when it's not safe to have an HRCT chest scan? I'm really curious because I read somewhere that certain age groups might face risks. Could you shed some light on this?

I've been really concerned about my friend who's been having blood mixed with his morning sputum for the past three months. Since November, he's noticed a little blood in his saliva even during the day. He's had all sorts of tests done, like endoscopy, bronchoscopy, and blood tests, but everything's coming back normal. What other tests should he consider to get to the bottom of this, and which specialist should he see for a proper diagnosis? Also, could you recommend any good doctors in Coimbatore he could consult with?

That could be Capillary bleed I suggest not to rush ,take time, consume warm water and maintain oral hygiene that would help,if it's becoming worse, visit ENT doctor for appropriate management

I'm really worried about my dad; hes been in the ICU for 12 days now with this new type of pneumonia the doctors mentioned. There's still no improvement in his condition, and hes on a ventilator to support his breathing. It all started with a cough and a fever, so we thought it was swine flu and took him to the hospital, but the swine flu test was negative, and his heart seems fine. But hes still struggling to breathe normally. They said something about fluid in his oxygen pathways or possibly ARDS. Im really confused and unsure of what to do next, and I could send you his medical reports and prescriptions if that helps. Any advice would be really appreciated.

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.
