My wife has been dealing with a really bothersome dry cough and also struggles when shes around dust. I'm a bit worried and wondering what might be the best medicine for her dry cough, or Sukha Dhaska. Will Montair LC be effective, or should we be considering something else?

I've been prescribed a bunch of medications including Methylprednisolone, Montelukast, Fexofenadine, Acebrophylline, Levofloxacin, a nasal spray with Fluticasone and Azelastine, plus a nebulizer with Duolin and Budecort. My FEV1 is at 42, so I get that it's serious, but this seems like a lot to take in all at once. Is this really normal, or should I be concerned about how heavy this treatment plan feels for me?

no ,it is normal, your body requires this medicine

I'm someone who's been dealing with wheezing for over 20 years now. It's not extremely serious, but I've been using inhalers occasionally. I'm really hoping to stop relying on them. I haven't faced a major attack in a couple of years, just minor discomforts where the inhaler comes in handy. Is there a way I can stop using inhalers for good? I've tried ayurveda before, but it didn't quite work and I ended up stopping it. What else can I do?

avoid allergens. steam inhalation

I'm worried because our servant was diagnosed with TB, and I'm concerned it might have spread to my family. Could you please tell me which test we can do to check if any of us are affected by TB?

If a family member has been exposed to tuberculosis (TB), it's important to monitor for symptoms like persistent cough, weight loss, fever, and night sweats. To confirm if anyone is affected, a chest X-ray and a TB skin test (TST) or a blood test (IGRA) are commonly used. Please consult a doctor for appropriate testing and advice.
