My dad has chronic asthma and he's been feeling a lot of relief from his chest and throat congestion by taking pulmoclear twice a day. We're just wondering if it's actually safe for him to keep using it like this. We'd appreciate your advice on this.

I'm really confused about the treatment I got for my chest issues. I had TB back in 2013, and though I don't smoke a lot, I've been smoking occasionally for about 1.5 years. Lately, I've noticed some blood with my morning cough over the last couple of months. I went to AIIMS, got all the tests doneDOTS, blood reports, HRCT Chest, and X-ray reportsand the doctor said everything was fine. They only prescribed me some painkillers and vitamins for my chest pain. But I can't help but worry if my occasional smoking might have been overlooked. Could that be the case, or am I overthinking it? Would love some clarity on this.

it is okay

I'm having a really tough time with chest congestion, breathing issues, and a persistent cough, especially with the change in seasons. I also have allergies to dust. I've been using anti-allergy tablets regularly along with an inhalerEsiflow and Duolin. My local doctor thinks it might be bronchial asthma or COPD.

I've been dealing with wheezing and a cold since last night. I took azithromycin 500 and a tablet with serratiopeptidase and diclofenac sodium, but now the wheezing has gotten worse. Should I consider taking methylprednisolone to help with the wheezing?

go to near by hospital they will give you injection hydrocortisone or nebulization. never take steriods without a doctor advice
