I've been dealing with asthma for quite a while now, and it's been pretty rough. Right now, I'm using the Seroflo 250 inhaler once a day and Duolin when I really need it. I also had sinus surgery a couple of years ago, but it kind of feels like my lungs are still really weak. I'm dealing with cold and cough pretty much all the time, and if I don't take Montair LC every day, things get worse. I'm a 30-year-old guy, around 75 kg. I'm trying to avoid steroids, but I'm not sure what else I can do. Any advice on treatments or ways to manage this better?

I'm curious if there's a blood test that can help understand how severe my ILD is and whether the disease is stable or getting worse since I can't have an HRCT all the time. Also, if I'm taking the right medications after being diagnosed with ILD, how many years could I potentially expect to live?
ILD is a curable disease, need not worry

I'm experiencing some issues with my breathing, and I recently got my chest X-ray results. It says there are prominent bronchovascular markings in both lungs and mentions non-homogeneous patchy highness and reticular changes. It also notes that my cardio thoracic ratio is a bit enlarged and there's bilateral hilar prominence. A month ago, I tested positive for COVID, but I'm fine now and have tested negative. Still, I'm having difficulty breathing. I've had rheumatoid arthritis for 15 years and suffered a brain stroke 5 years ago. I've also had heart problems. I even got my cough tested for TB, and it came back negative. What should I do about these breathing issues?
Tab augmentin duo 625mg ,orally ,thrice daily for 5 days advised to the patient.Also syrup salbutamol 10ml thrice daily for 7 days is advised to the patient.Steam inhalation is also advised twice daily to the patient.
