My mom was admitted to the government hospital a couple of days ago because she had a really bad cough and her oxygen level was super low, like around 80 when we got there. The doctor said its a lung infection and gave her a prescription with some meds and injections. After taking just one dose, her blood pressure and pulse started going all over the place. I attached the prescription here. I'm a bit worried and just want to make sure these meds are okay to continue with. What do you think?

View allMy breathing seems to get really heavy at night, and I've been using Salbair as an inhaler to help. It sometimes results in cough with these thread-like formations. Is it okay to keep using Salbair this way?
It sounds like you're experiencing breathing difficulties at night, and using Salbair (a salbutamol inhaler) can help relieve symptoms of wheezing or shortness of breath. However, if youre noticing persistent symptoms or coughing, its important to consult with a healthcare provider to evaluate your condition, as this could be related to asthma, allergies, or another respiratory issue.

I've been noticing blood when I sneeze for a while now, and it's showing up in my sputum too. It started back in March 2016, and although I tested negative for TB, a doctor recommended a budamate inhaler and TelecastL, which helped stop the bleeding. I stopped the medication after a couple of months without consulting the doctor, and now the bleeding is back. The doctor suggested a bronchoscopy, but there aren't any available beds at the hospital, and now the doctor is on leave. I already had a CT scan done on my chest, but I'm really concerned about what might be causing this hemoptysis and what steps I should take next. Could you give me some guidance?

I'm experiencing this pain on the backside when I take deep breaths, and it's also there, but milder, when I breathe normally. It's been going on for a while, and I'm not sure what it could mean. Should I be worried about this, or is it something that usually goes away on its own? What might be causing it?
It sounds like you may be experiencing muscle strain or inflammation in the ribcage or intercostal muscles, which can cause pain during deep breathing. However, it's important to rule out any underlying conditions, such as lung or kidney issues. I recommend seeing a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation.
