I’m 18 and my lungs is filled with mucus, I’m in taking ascoril and dolo, But all of the sudden I got tremors and stomach pain, dizziness. Is it because of the side effect of ascoril? Or anything else?….

Hi! ascoril has components which can cause tremors
must consult your physician before taking any other expectorant cough syrup.

Hello Vanshika...
The doctor who is treating the patient is competent enough to adjust the dosage of the antidiabetic medicines...
Better let him handle the case...
For second opininon you can consult with full case details as in such cases we cannot suggest treatment on random basis.

I think you have wrong information about lung inflammation .ask your treating doctor about the prescribed medication. Ibuprofen and other oral anti-inflammatory medication (except steroids) have no role in asthma.
