Question 1

I'm really worried about my son. He caught a cold back in January 2014 and then started coughing a lot, having trouble breathing too. A doctor prescribed budate 200 rotacap, which he used for two years. After that, everything seemed fine for about eight months, but then the symptoms returned in December. So we saw another doctor who gave him a Levolin inhaler. We've now consulted a pulmonologist who has prescribed formonide 100, deriphyllin od 300, and montair lc kid. How long do you think he should keep taking these medicines?

Accepted Answer

Continue formonide inhaler sos for breathing difficulty.

Question 2

I'm really concerned because I've been dealing with constant colds, coughs, and I've just been feeling so weak and tired all the time. Sometimes I have trouble breathing, and I've noticed that I get chest pain regularly. Traveling seems to make things worse as I often get sick after. Even a bit of physical work leaves me exhausted. A doctor mentioned that 20% of my lungs aren't working properly. I'm trying to figure out if there's any effective treatment for allergic asthma and if there's any way my lungs can fully recover. Could you provide some guidance or suggestions on what I might do? I'm really hoping to hear something reassuring.

Accepted Answer

yes there are medications for asthma , if he isa young his lung can become normal

Question 3

I've been having shortness of breath for about a week now, and it seems to be getting worse every day. I saw a physician last week who thought it might be related to acidity, so I took medication for that, but it hasn't really helped my breathing at all. It gets particularly bad at night, although once I'm asleep, it's not an issue. I've noticed that as I become more aware of my breathing, the problem seems to intensify. I've got a bit of a cough in my throat and occasionally my nose gets blocked, which only adds to the difficulty. I end up having to breathe through my mouth and yawn a lot just to feel like I'm getting enough air. Do you have any idea what might be going on?

Accepted Answer

Since the medication for acidity hasn't helped, I recommend revisiting your doctor to reassess the cause. Given that the symptoms are persisting and worsening, further investigation is important to rule out conditions like asthma, allergies, or heartlung problems.

Track your symptoms: Keeping a diary of your symptoms (when they occur, their severity, any triggers) can be helpful for your doctor to get a clearer picture.

Consider seeing a specialist: If your physician is uncertain, you might want to see a pulmonologist (lung specialist) or an ENT specialist (for sinus or throat issues).

My brother is really struggling with MDR TB and he's having a hard time breathing. We're using all the medicines prescribed, but it doesn't seem to be enough. Is there anything immediate we can do to help him feel better?
