Regarding lung health
I was suffering from covid seven months back.
I am perfectly fine now.
I get this chest xray done today for check-in lung health .Please refer to xray and tell me whether lung seems fine or not.
Secondly I have the issue that there is wheezing sound at night and difficulty in breathing.This is the problem before covid and doctor has suggested me foracort 400 because I came to know that body becomes use to of corticosteroid s.
Kindly clarify this also

Talk to experienced doctor online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Your xray changes might suggest airway disease,need to correlate with your symptoms,as you have wheeze you have to continue using inhalers depending upon symptomatic improvement dose can be adjusted,need not worry about getting used to steroids they are safer when used as inhaler

Xray is ok.pl use inhalers for breathing difficulty, as per the advise.The steroids in the inhalers are in minute dose,hence side effects are very rare,even if you use for a long time.pl do Salt water gargling after inhalations. Pl consult Pulmonologist online with all the reports and treatment taken.
