I've been dealing with COPD and I'm also having this annoying post-nasal drip with a nonstop runny nose whenever I eat. At night, my throat gets all clogged up with phlegm, which makes it hard to sleep. I'm taking Glevo 500 daily and nebulizing with Duolin and Budecort every morning, plus just Duolin again at night. Montair LC every other day seems to help a bit. Do you think a nose drop like ipratropium bromide could help with these issues, or is there something else you'd recommend? The throat and nasal issues, along with slight wheezing or a rattling sound sometimes, are really bothering me. Any advice?

I'm currently using a Foracort 200 inhaler and Nasonex nasal spray daily for asthma, which I got diagnosed with in 2018. I'm also taking Yasmin tablets due to PCOD. I'm wondering if it's safe for me to receive the COVID vaccine considering these medications. Could you please provide some guidance?

My mom's been on TB treatment since May 12, 2020, and I'm worried because she's not gaining weight. She's only at 31.80 kg right now, but she used to be around 39 to 40 kg before she got sick. It's been over a year since she started her treatment, so I'm wondering why her weight hasnt gone back up.

inadequate nutrition and side effects of medication like loss of appetite, monitor her progress
