Question : What can be done to ease the extreme dryness in nose. I am guess the dryness is aggravating due Duolin Nebulisation that was recommended thrice daily. Please review the attached doctors notes.
Mom want to stop nebulization as that is causing more dryness in nose and throat. please advise.

Brief Answer:
Oral bronchodilators should also be started.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of acute exacerbation is more.
So breathlessness on minimal exertion, fatiguability etc are symptoms of acute worsening.
Along with inhaled treatment, oral long acting bronchodilators like acebrophyllin sustained release (Abphyllin SR or Abflo SR) should also be started for better symptomatic relief.
Hope I have solved your query. If you are not having further queries, then please close the conversation and rate my answer.
