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?

I'm a 20-year-old girl dealing with asthma, and every time I use my Asthalin inhaler, it gives me tremors and a headache. I'm really concerned about these side effects. Could switching to a Ventolin inhaler help prevent them?

Yes, you can consider switching to Ventolin (salbutamol) inhaler, as it is similar to Asthalin, but some people may tolerate it better, however, since you're experiencing tremors and headaches, consult your doctor before making the switch to discuss potential alternatives, adjusting dosages, or adding medications to minimize side effects.

I'm really worried about my sister. Shes been having chest pain and her X-ray came back showing some inhomogeneous opacity in the lower zone. It mentions something about infiltration. Could you explain what this means and what our next steps should be? What can we do to resolve this?

The X-ray report indicating inhomogeneous opacity in the lower zone with infiltration suggests a possible pulmonary infection or inflammation; next steps should include: consulting a pulmonologist or chest specialist, undergoing a CT scan or HRCT for better imaging, and getting blood tests (CBC, ESR, CRP) to confirm the diagnosis and guide treatment, which may involve antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medications, or further investigations.

I'm 35 and diabetic. I started feeling unwell on June 22 with a minor cough and then a low-grade fever. I took Claribid 500 and Musinac 600 for three days. My brother wasn't feeling well for 10 days, got tested for COVID, and his result was positive. Now, four members of my family are positive. By June 27, my oxygen levels dropped, and I was admitted to the hospital. My COVID tests came back negative twice, but since I was in the ICU, all the other patients were positive. After two days, I was moved to a normal ward and treated with IV Monocef O for five days. Now I'm on tablets, Monocef O and Azithral, plus vitamin C for seven days. I don't have any symptoms now. Should I stop the medicine? My CT report looked good, and the doctor advised isolating for 10 days. So can I touch my kids after those 10 days, or should I wait 14 days? Is it okay for me to start doing household chores now? I'm worried and really want to avoid going back to the hospital. Also, could I have been COVID positive but still tested negative?

no need to take any antibiotics and consume healthy food and stay isolated for a period of 7 days and you can be free after that
