Question 1

I'm really worried about my wife. She had an asthma attack earlier and her usual 2 puffs of salbutamol didnt help. It got worse and she ended up taking 10 puffs in 5 minutes, which seemed to work. How often can she safely repeat that in a 12-hour period?

Accepted Answer

Yes,continue same treatment.Ecg and x-ray chest pa view is advised to the patient.

Question 2

I'm really concerned about my wife. Back in 2020, she got Covid, and ever since then, she's been having these breathing issues. It's not constant but comes and goes, like she's fine for a few days, and then suddenly, she feels breathless with chest pain and heaviness. We've done all the testslike for asthma and chest X-raysand everything came back clear. We even tried an ayurvedic doctor who suggested it might be due to some cough in her chest, which he said was odd since the X-rays were normal. Strangely, his medicine seemed to help for a while. But now, the problem is back, and I doubt it's cough-related because she doesnt have a cold or fever. I'm at a loss and would really appreciate any suggestions or advice on what else we can do to figure this out. Could it be something post-Covid related that we're missing?

Accepted Answer

there might be some post covid issues. try yoga, breathing exercises. if still problem isnot resolved consult a pulmonologist

Question 3

I'm really worried about starting to use a revoliser. My parents keep telling me it's something I'll have to use for the rest of my life, which makes me hesitant to start it even though it's been prescribed to me. They're big believers in Ayurveda, and I wonder if that might be a better option for me. Will I really have to rely on a revoliser forever? Could it become something I get addicted to? Would love some clarity on this.

Accepted Answer

use it if symptoms exacerbated

I've been having a really bad cough and it's been keeping me up at night. It just won't stop when I try to sleep. What could be causing this continuous cough, and is there anything I can do to get some rest?

That could be Allergic Bronchitis, identify the triggering factor and avoid it, consume warm foods and maintain healthy lifestyle
