I've been dealing with bronchitis for a few months now, and before that, I was coughing up some thick phlegm. My doctor gave me some meds, but I'm kind of worried and thinking about getting a lung function test just to be safe. Can you suggest any tests that would check lung capacity and function? What are the main tests I should consider for this? Would really appreciate your guidance.

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been on COVID medication for a couple of days, and because of her long-time wheezing, the doctor told her to use a Budecort 200mg inhaler twice daily. But now she's having some loose motion. Is that something normal because of the meds, or should I be taking her to see a doctor? Her oxygen levels are around 98-99 and her pulse is at 102.

Budesonide 200 inhaler sos for breathing difficulty is advised to the patient.Avoid smoking and alcohol.Advised green leafy leafy vegetables ,fruits,mild aerobic exercises.etc Also tab ciplox tz 500mg orally,twice dailly for 5 days is advised to the patient.
