Hello Doctor,
I am planning to do a Pulmonary Function Test (PFT/spirometry) in a Government Hospital. I noticed that they may not use disposable spirometry filters and instead use a reusable mouthpiece/tube.
I want to know:
Can I buy my own single-use spirometry filter from a medical store or online?
Will it fit most spirometry machines?
Is it generally allowed to carry and use my own filter during the test in a Government Hospital?
Has anyone done this before?
Will using my own filter affect the accuracy of the test?
I am mainly concerned about hygiene and infection safety.
Thank you

I live in Germany and I have pollen allergy every spring season from march to may. And I get continuous cold, sneezing and cough. Which speciality doctors should I consult for this issue?
"I have been suffering from a mild dry cough for a long time, and I hear a sharp sound in my throat while sleeping at night, which makes me feel a bit short of breath. My eyes itch a lot throughout the day, and occasionally I have a runny nose. If I take a steroid tablet, I stay fine for several days. I have previously consulted a doctor who said it is mild asthma. Is there any permanent treatment for this? Please help me."
