I've been prescribed a bunch of medications including Methylprednisolone, Montelukast, Fexofenadine, Acebrophylline, Levofloxacin, a nasal spray with Fluticasone and Azelastine, plus a nebulizer with Duolin and Budecort. My FEV1 is at 42, so I get that it's serious, but this seems like a lot to take in all at once. Is this really normal, or should I be concerned about how heavy this treatment plan feels for me?

I got my second dose of Covishield on September 1st, 2021, and I have a provisional diagnosis of COPD. My doctor recommended I use a Triohale inhaler and a Duolin inhaler. Is it safe for me to continue using these inhalers right now, or should I wait a bit before starting them?

Patient is advised to continue triohale inhaler and duolin inhaler sos for breathing difficulty.

I've been dealing with TB and started my meds back on March 13, 2018. At the beginning, my fever was really high, around 103, but now it's gone down to about 99 to 100. I'm wondering, when can I expect this fever to finally go away?

It's great that your fever has reduced. Typically, it can take a few weeks for the fever to completely subside during TB treatment, but it varies from person to person. Keep monitoring your temperature, and if it persists or worsens, be sure to consult your doctor.

My dad just got out of the hospital after dealing with Post Covid Pneumonia, but he's still really weak and has a bit of a cough. I'm worried about his energy levels and overall recovery. Can you recommend any diet plans, energy-boosting drinks, or medications that might help him regain his strength? Oh, and he's diabetic and continues to take his usual meds for that. What should we do?

have foods with increased immunity , like papaya juice, coconut water
