I've just taken 4 puffs from my Asthalin inhaler and 2 Theoasthalin tablets. Is that too much? Could an overdose like this actually harm my airways? I'm really worried about potential side effects.

I'm considering taking Truebasics Lungs Detox since I developed fibrotic bands after having COVID last month. I'm curious if it might help with my condition, but I'm also worried about any potential side effects it could have. Can you advise if it's safe to use this supplement for my lung issues?

Yes ,continue same treatment.

I'm a 21-year-old girl and I've been prescribed a Levolin inhaler for my asthma treatment. I'm wondering how it compares to the Asthalin inhaler and what makes Levolin a better choice for me. Could you help explain the differences?

Levolin (levosalbutamol) inhaler is considered better than Asthalin (salbutamol) inhaler for some patients because levosalbutamol is the active R-enantiomer of salbutamol, which provides more targeted and effective bronchodilation with potentially fewer side effects, making it a preferred option for asthma management.

I'm 65 years old and just got my X-ray results back. Everything looked normal, but it mentioned that both hila are congested. What's that mean? Should I be concerned? I don't have any breathing problems, just a rib fracture on my 7th rib.

normal you can say no major risk of hilar
