My wife has been dealing with asthma for the past six months, and we're really worried about whether she can completely recover from it. Is there a chance that asthma can be fully eliminated from her body?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Asthma is a chronic condition that can be managed but not completely cured. With proper treatment and management, your wife can control her symptoms and lead a normal life. Medications such as inhalers like Ventolin (albuterol) for acute attacks and maintenance inhalers like Flovent (fluticasone) can help control asthma symptoms. It is important for her to follow her doctor's advice, avoid triggers, and lead a healthy lifestyle to manage her asthma effectively.

I've had this really bad cough for a week now, and it's not going away even after seeing an ENT. There's a lot of phlegm with it, and I've also got a cold. What could be going on? Should I be doing something different, or is there anything else I can try to feel better?

I'm a bit concerned about my health. I was diagnosed with lymph node TB in my neck and took Forecox and Moxif 400mg for 6 months. The swelling in my nodes went away after two months, which was great, but now I'm noticing some issues. I feel a bit tired and sometimes have acidic sensations, itching, and a tingling feeling. Should I be getting any follow-up tests even though my doctor says there aren't any possible? And how much longer should I keep taking the medicine? I'm really looking for some guidance on this.

Continue same treatment as advised by the physician.

I've been dealing with a cough for about two months now. It kicked off with a cold, mostly staying dry, but whenever I get a cold again, it turns into a productive cough. Interestingly, after about a month and a half, it went away for like five days, but then both the cold and the cough came back. I've tried different medicines, but nothing seems to help. I'm genuinely worried about what's going on. What could be causing this persistent cough, and why aren't the medicines working? Any advice or should I be concerned?

take a course of antibiotics
