I've been really worried because my mom used to feed pigeons on her balcony every day, and they pooped there for a whole year. We stopped doing it but now I'm concerned. Could this be why she has lung nodules now? Last year her CT scan only showed fibrosis, but this year there are lung nodules, and the largest is 9mm. Could feeding birds have caused this? I'm really looking for some advice here.

I'm having some trouble with my breathing and was wondering if it's okay to use a Duolin inhaler. Are there any home remedies you could suggest for a slight breathing issue?

Duolin inhaler is typically prescribed for conditions like asthma or COPD, and should only be used under a doctor's guidance. For mild breathing problems, you can try inhaling steam, staying hydrated, and using a humidifier. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, it's best to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.
