is she asthmatic. or any other condition. yeh medicine life long nai le sakte. what is diagnosis made by doctors
Stop betnesol. Guve her simple tab telfast 120 mg bd. Foster inhalor twwo times
It appears that your mother is either suffering from COPD or Asthma. The best treatment in her case are inhalers having Salmetrol and Flucatisone. Tab. Betnesol are for only occasional use, it's long term use leads to weight gain, increase in BP and may precipitate Diabetes. So it should be avoided. We need to have her xrays chest PA view taken, and if possible her respiratory fuction tests through spirometry. Only then further plan of treatment can be chalked out.
