I've been dealing with this cough for about a week now. I saw a doctor nearby who recommended Gudcef CV 200, Ascoril LS Syrup, and Zincovut. I've been taking them for the last three days, but I'm still coughing. Could you guide me on what else I might do?

View allI'm wondering about a change in my inhaler meds recently. I've always had these bronchial issues right from when I was a kid. My doc swapped out my Levosalbutamol inhaler for a Budesonide corticosteroid inhaler. But I'm a bit nervous about using steroids because Ive heard once you start, you can't just stop. Does anyone have any advice on if this is really safe? Would really love to hear some opinions on this.

I'm really worried about my brother who's been covid positive for a week now. He had a fever for the first few days, but now that's gone and he's got this dry cough. We got some tests done and I've got the chest X-ray results, but the doctor can only see us next Sunday and today is Thursday. The report mentions something about inhomogeneous opacities at both mid and lower zones, and it also says there's a bilateral pulmonary inflammatory lesion. Should we be waiting till Sunday to see our doctor or do you think it's better to check with another doctor sooner? Id really appreciate your advice on what this might mean and how to proceed.
Tab Azithromycin 500mg orally,once daily for 5 days is advised to the patient.Also tab paracetamol 500mg sos for fever,tab levocetrizine 10 mg bedtime for 5 days, syrup salbutamol 10 ml thrice daily for 5 days and steam inhalation is advised to the patient.

I'm 23 and have had issues with bronchitis in the past. I used to rely on an Asthaline inhaler whenever I felt breathless. A few months ago, I went to a different doctor who gave me Formonide 200, and I found it worked way better than Asthaline. I haven't needed Asthaline since I started using Formonide, but yesterday I needed it again and it didn't give me long-term relief. I'm curious about why Asthaline isn't as effective anymore and if I should stick with Formonide or consider something else. What do you think?
It seems that your bronchitis symptoms may have worsened or changed over time. While **Formonide 200** (a steroid inhaler) may provide better long-term relief, the **Asthaline inhaler** (a bronchodilator) is used for immediate symptom relief but may not provide sustained effects. I recommend discussing your symptoms with your doctor, as a long-term management plan with the appropriate medication may be needed.
