I've had asthma since I was a kid and used to take homeopathy for it, which seemed to help. It was pretty bad back then, with inhalers and nebulisers being a part of my daily routine. It eventually went away, thankfully. But now, after 15 years, Im having trouble again. My breathing feels offI have a slight cold and have been wheezing a lot since last night. I really dont want to go back on steroids. I've tried taking steam, but its not doing much. What should I do?

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been on COVID medication for a couple of days, and because of her long-time wheezing, the doctor told her to use a Budecort 200mg inhaler twice daily. But now she's having some loose motion. Is that something normal because of the meds, or should I be taking her to see a doctor? Her oxygen levels are around 98-99 and her pulse is at 102.

Budesonide 200 inhaler sos for breathing difficulty is advised to the patient.Avoid smoking and alcohol.Advised green leafy leafy vegetables ,fruits,mild aerobic exercises.etc Also tab ciplox tz 500mg orally,twice dailly for 5 days is advised to the patient.

I'm really concerned about what's been happening with my health. I had TB back in May 2020 and finished the treatment in November that year and I felt fine after but then in April 2021, I got COVID. Since then I've been struggling with low-grade fever, cold feet, severe headaches, neck pain, and this overwhelming weakness like my body will just give up if I do anything for more than 15 minutes. All my blood tests have come back normal, and Crocin and paracetamol didn't help with the fever. Naproxyn worked for a bit, but the fever came back. It's been over a year and things just aren't getting betterin fact, they're getting worse. In March 2022, my doctor started looking into other causes, but all the tests were normal except for this chronic empyema in the lungs. They started ATT in April, and things got better at first but then went downhill again. After a PET scan, they found the empyema was active, so I had surgery and started on second-line drugs based on the biopsy report. There's been a little improvement, but then it just got worse again. I'm really at a loss here and would appreciate any advice or insights. What could be causing this?
