I've been dealing with constant wheezing even after using Budamate inhalers at 400 mcg three times a day and taking Montelukast. Sometimes the wheezing is really loud, and other times it's just a bit quieter, but it never completely goes away. It's winter now where I live. My peak flow meter reads 650. I'm really looking for a permanent solution to my wheezing. When might it fully stop?

View allI've been dealing with ongoing health issues, starting with demotomiyositis back in 2005 which required steroids like dexcona. These treatments led to complications, including a lung infection, for which I had to undergo several DOTS courses in 2012, 2014, and an 18-month course that wrapped up in April 2017. Recently, I unexpectedly began coughing up blood right around Diwali and had to be hospitalized twice in just one month. This happened again quite recently with more blood from the mouth. I'm really worried about what's going on and wondering if this bleeding might be something I shouldn't worry about. What kind of treatment should I be looking at for this? Are the medications I'm getting in Kota sufficient, or should I be considering a specialist in AIIMS for a more thorough evaluation?
The presence of blood from the mouth is not normal and should be taken seriously, as it could indicate a serious underlying condition. Immediate medical evaluation is necessary to determine the cause and appropriate treatment. It is advisable to seek a second opinion at a specialized hospital like AIIMS for a comprehensive assessment, especially if the current treatment in Kota isn't providing adequate relief.

I recently got a chest X-ray as part of a visa medical exam, and the report said both my hila are prominent. I'm really concerned about what this means. Can you explain the possible causes and what I might be able to do to address this before my retest?
Prominent hila on a chest X-ray can be caused by various conditions such as infections, inflammation, or even tumors. To determine the exact cause, further evaluation may be needed. In the meantime, to reduce inflammation and promote healing, you can take over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen. I recommend taking Ibuprofen 400mg every 6 hours as needed for pain and inflammation. However, it is important to follow up with a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
