Is there actually a long-term cure for asthma? I'm dealing with really uncomfortable chest tightness and shortness of breath. My doctor suggested using the Budetrol 200 Rotacap inhaler for a couple of months, and it helps, but if I skip it for a day or two, all my symptoms just come rushing back. It's frustrating, and I'm worried about relying on the inhaler indefinitely. What should I do? Any advice on this would be really appreciated.

View allI'm dealing with a persistent cough and dust allergy, and with the lockdown, it's hard to see a doctor right now. I'm thinking about taking Montek LC tablets until April 14th. Is that safe? Could there be any side effects I should be aware of? Would really appreciate your advice on this!
Montek LC is an antihistamine and leukotriene receptor antagonist, often used to treat allergies and asthma. While generally considered safe, taking Montek LC without consulting a doctor may not be advisable. If you have a pre-existing prescription for Montek LC, you can continue taking it as directed. However, if you're taking it without a prescription or for an extended period, you should be aware of potential side effects, such as: - Headache - Dizziness - Nausea - Diarrhea - Stomach pain

I'm a bit concerned about this white spot that showed up on my chest x-ray about 25 days ago. It was on my left upper lobe lung area. My doctor had me on antibioticsclindamycin and moxifloxacinfor three weeks, and the spot seems to be getting smaller and less noticeable. I'm wondering if I should keep taking the antibiotics until the spot is completely gone. The doctor said it was a patch from a previous infection. Does this mean it's benign since it's not getting bigger, just shrinking?
no need of continuation of antibiotics. it will heal on its own
