My brother has allergic asthma and only 80% of his lungs are working right now. Is there any treatment like therapy, meds, or even surgery that could help his lungs function at 100% again? Really worried and looking for options to improve his condition.

While asthma can't be cured and it's unlikely his lung function will return to 100%, there are effective treatments that can significantly improve his lung function, control his asthma, and help him live a normal life. These treatments include medication, breathing exercises, and avoiding triggers.

I'm really worried about my Bronco pneumonia. I've had it since I was a kid, and I've heard different things from different doctors. Some say it's due to allergies and might get better with time, while others feel the weather where I live isnt right for me. I even moved to see if that would help, but I'm still having asthma problems. Anytime I get a little cold, the coughing starts and my asthma flares up. I've been using Asthalin to manage it. Do I have to live with this for the rest of my life? Is there anything else I could try or look into?
if you have symptoms,yes you should take

I've just started taking Fixcom 4 for my PTB, and I'm really confused about how to take it. Am I supposed to take all 3 tablets in the morning, or should it be 3 times a day? Right now, I've just been taking one tablet because I'm not sure about the dosage. Could you help me understand how I should be taking this medication?
For the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) with Fixcom 4, the usual recommended dosage is 3 tablets to be taken once daily. It is important to take all 3 tablets at the same time, rather than spreading them out throughout the day. Therefore, you should consume all 3 tablets of Fixcom 4 together in the morning. It is essential to follow the prescribed dosage and regimen for the effective treatment of PTB.
