default
Posted on Mon, 14 Nov 2016
Question: I have irregular breathing since last 2 month no cough/cold/chest pain or any other issue,initially consulted with medicine specialist ,she has done ECG,Thyroid,CBC & Urine test,urine report came with minor infection but rest of the test are normal, suggested medicines for urine infection and vitamin tablets,after continuing these medicine for 1 month no major improvement found,so i decided to consult with a chest physician.

1st week my chest physician prescribed medicines like(Acebrophylline Capsules/Montegress-Tx 120 & Reswas syrup),after continuing 5 days no major improvement seen ,then he done a PFT test with a remark as "MILD OAD & EXCELLENT BDR) as per the report,prescribed same medicine with additional medicine called FORACORT-200 for 15 days, and said this is an asthma.

After continuing these medicine again for 10 days no major improvement seen,so my question is this disease takes time for healing or is there other test or better medicine can be tried.

Medicine continues as:
Acebrophylline Capsules twice daily
Montegress-Tx 120 once daily
Reswas syrup-Thrice daoly and FORACORT-200 twice daily.

Detailed Answer:
Hello Madam.

I have worked through your query in detail.

You seen to have recurrence in the symptoms and partial responses.

Instead of trying new medications, I advise you to get a CT scan of the Chest for further accurate assessment.

It's important to rule out interstitial lung diseases before considering other forms of therapy

Post your further questions if any.
