Next steps after foracort 400 course
I am 36F and Consulted a doctor in early June for chest discomfort and nighttime coughing. All diagnostic tests were normal, and I received a provisional diagnosis of Cough Variant Asthma (CVA). Later in late June, contracted a viral infection that caused a deep chest rattle. I Completed a 1-month course of Foracort 400 (twice daily) exactly 5 days ago (July 5). The late-June viral chest rattle ('ghar-ghar') and active cough have now stopped. • Current Symptoms: Voice is completely hoarse and cracked. Experiencing a mild, persistent 'sinking' feeling in my chest, especially when exhaling or leaning back on pillows. The chest feels generally uncomfortable and not fully right, though it is hard to explain in words. Of late I am feeling a tiny bit breathless at times (might be due to heightened awareness/anxiety). No classic acidity, stomach discomfort, or hot belches, but the chest discomfort is noticeably more after heavy meals. Can I take foracort agin or what should I do?
Throad ache
Hello i suffered from tuberculosis past 2 years my course ended on September2025(the 2 time was due to recurrency and doctor negligence)after that i showed positive signs of growth then after i got soaked with rain water for a few days and started having fever of 102-3 after that with my right throat with ear is aching and tonsils swollen so I can't with no cough or ache in chest but ache in head if i forcefully cough to get rid of nasal mucus near my throat. Doctor recommended me Azithromycin but my fever kept increasing.My one eye is also aching heavily. I don't know what is this but I'm very afraid also i bathed with cold water this moonsoon after these all these is going on. My condition is worse i have a bitter taste mouth I'm afraid very much doctor please save me.
Query for Second Opinion
Dec 2025–May 2026: Started with a long-lasting dry cough. All tests were completely normal: Chest X-ray, PFT (breathing test), FeNO (airway swelling test), and IgE (allergy blood test). June 5, 2026: Due to the ongoing cough and normal tests, the doctor gave a provisional diagnosis of Cough Variant Asthma and prescribed a Foracort 400 rotahaler twice daily. After June 5: Developed new, severe breathlessness and air hunger. This included a scary episode of sudden breathing struggle while sitting in my living room directly under the AC vent with the front door open. • Inhaler Response: Mixed. Sometimes Foracort significantly helps open my chest; other times it goes on its own • My Query: I am seeking a second opinion to confirm if this provisional diagnosis is correct, why my breathlessness started after June 5, and why the inhaler works only sometimes magically n sometimes slowly.
