Question

I've recently had a chest PA and it showed increased bronchovascular markings and a prominent hila. I'm kind of worried about what this means. Is it normal to see these in the results, or should I be concerned about any potential health issues?

Question

So, my younger sister has been dealing with allergies for about 10 years now. Her doctor recommended Budecort 100 mg, and she's been taking one puff a day. Normally, she's fine for months, but then suddenly, she starts to get a cold, dry throat, and sometimes a cough, and breathing becomes really hard for her. We end up needing to use a nebulizer in the hospital to get things under control. Do you think there's any permanent solution to stop this from happening?

Question

I've suddenly developed a cough with some white mucus, and I've noticed a small drop of blood too, which has never happened to me before. I'm a bit worried since I have young kids, a 4-year-old, and I'm wondering what kind of treatment I should be considering. Can you please advise on what steps to take next?

Question

I'm really struggling with my asthma. I've had it for 18 years, but lately, my inhaler just isn't cutting it anymore. It's getting harder to manage my symptoms. Do you have any advice or new treatments I should consider?
