My father 87 year old have been hospitalized in new jersey usa for 43 days now with interstitial lung disease. Principal problem: pneumonia of left lower lobe due to infectious organism active problems: acute calculus cholecystitis interstitial lung disease (hcc) left bundle branch block acute on chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia (hcc) paroxysmal a-fib (hcc) currently on 4 l oxygen nasal cannula patient currently in steroid prednisone 30 mg and mepron and cefepime iv antibiotics. Recent x-ray shows worsening of lung condition all lobe impacted. Following this website I am giving him beryllium and silicea alongside the hospital’s alopathic treatment. I only go to hospital once in the evening, giving him 5 pallets of beryllium 30c and 3 pallets of silicea 30c one hour apart in the evening. I am not sure if I am giving him right amount. Requesting direction on the appropriate doses (also if any other meds and doses are suggested) for the acute stage of ild, again I am only able to go to the hospital once in the evening so only can give homeopathy medicine once a day.

To get rid of such medicine to some extent you need to talk and get insights into getting advise of inclusion of ayurvedic herbals for immunoenhancing and respiratory tract management from allergens and infect ants. Yes, these naturals are not tasty, not attractive but have a great potential to ease your life in a gradual way. I do not criticize allopathy. That's also life saving and scientific but then there is limit of effects. Pl book phone call on Lybrate or chat for further guidance.

Both are long acting ics-laba combination drugs. The only difference being that salmeterol (seroflo) acts a little slower than formoterol (maxiflo).
Side effects range from hypersensitivity, altered taste, oral candidiasis, tachycardia to pneumonias.

Some patients with copd have increased mucus production. This is because they have more goblet cells than people without copd. They may also have oversized mucus glands in their airways. This overproduction results in a chronic cough.
