Question 1

Im worried about my mom who was recently diagnosed with IPF or hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Sometimes she experiences a blocked nose and chest tightness, and it makes it hard for her to breathe, although shes stable with her oxygen levels around 98-99%. The doctor suggested Foracort 200 rotacaps for her wheezing, but she doesn't wheeze all the time. She tried taking it once in the morning and once in the evening, but were not sure how often she should be using the Foracort. Is there a recommended routine for this, and can we use a nebulizer to help with her nasal blockage? Would an inhaler be a better option for these symptoms? Any advice would be appreciated.

Accepted Answer

To use rotcaps you might be give rotahaler,that comes with a user manual follow the guidelines and use it accordingly.

Question 2

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with bronchitis and has had COPD for about two years now. We saw a pulmonologist who recommended AB FLO and AZEE 500 FARACART, but they haven't really helped much. She's still having a hard time breathing, coughing a lot, and there's a ton of mucus in her chest, making her lungs feel heavy. Can you suggest any other medicines or daily exercises that might help manage her COPD? She still does house chores like washing clothes and cleaning, but maybe there are specific activities or foods she should avoid? Any guidance would be appreciated.

avoid dust areas , allergens , allergic foods

Question 3

After taking Theo-Asthalin tablets for the past three days, I'm now feeling a heaviness in my chest. Could you help me understand what's going on and suggest what might be helpful for me?
