I've been dealing with asthma since I was a kid and used to take Aerocort Rotacap. But a bit ago, my doctor switched me to Formoflo 250 and it's been working well. I'm 22 now, but starting from 2016, I just can't seem to stay healthy. I'm always getting sick, and each time I go to the hospital, the docs keep giving me antibiotics. I'm worried and not sure what my next step should be. Any advice?

My mom used to take Theoasthalin SR, Romilast B10, and Foracort Forte 12400mcg for her asthma, and it worked really well for her. But now I can't find Theoasthalin SR anywhere. Do you know what a good substitute would be? It's kind of worrying since it was so effective for her.

I'm concerned about my father's X-ray results. It mentions a few calcified foci in the bilateral upper lung zone, and his lungs are hyperinflated with a flattening of the diaphragm. There's also apical pleural thickening on both sides. Can you help me understand what this means? How serious is it? I'm really worried and just want to make sure we're not missing anything important.
