My grandmother is diagnosed with Pulmonary edema. We need to immediately taker her to Gurgaon which 5 hrs journey from our hometown. Can u please suggest some preliminary care/ tips for her immediate relief. Also like to know if this disease is curable?
Answered on 7th May '24
This occurs when fluid collects in the air sacs of the lungs. Signs may include shortness of breath, problems breathing, coughs, or wheezing sounds. To make her more comfortable on the trip to Gurgaon, try to sit her up and give oxygen if it is available then keep her as calm as possible. In most cases, drugs are given as treatment for pulmonary edema which works by getting rid of extra fluids from the lungs besides dealing with its root cause like heart failure. Proper health care can help control signs but the urgent need for a pulmonologist's attention is necessary.

This is actually about my mother. 5 days ago, she started having these flu-like symptoms; coughing, extreme fatigue, phlegm, wheezing, headache, chills, and fever. The fever is now gone, but she still has all the other symptoms. She had a chest x-ray that came back perfectly fine, and tested negative for COVID, so it’s not that. She hasn’t really improved, but she hasn’t gotten worse either. Could this be the flu?

The best thing you can do is make your mother rest, take a lot of fluids, and use drugs that can relieve her of any symptoms that are associated with over-the-counter. Make sure she takes syrup, water, tea, etc. to keep herself hydrated especially since she might not have much desire for them due to coughs being experienced hence causing dry throat. Please visit a pulmonologist for further treatment.

Hi dr I’m asthma from childhood I use seretide 500/50 vantoline lumenta 10 mg Last week I will visit chest dr he give me azit 500 mg 3 day per week I have chest ct scan and X-ray normal I have cough my left side and sometimes sound
Answered on 7th May '24
You use Seretide and Ventoline to help your symptoms. The cough on your left side might be from asthma. It's good that the CT scan and X-ray of your chest were normal. Your chest doctor likely gave you the antibiotic Azit to fight lung infections. Take all the pills until they're gone, like the doctor said. If the cough gets worse or doesn't go away, see your pulmonologist again. They can check it out and give you a different treatment if needed.

Irregular Fever and tonsilitis dry cough and fever feels at nighttime and in day whenever I used to sleep
Answered on 3rd May '24
It appears that tonsillitis with a dry cough and irregular fever which worsens at night might be the issue at hand. Tonsillitis often brings about a throat ache and enlarged tonsils. The fever could be a result of an infection. It is advisable to take a lot of fluids and soft foods as well as resting. Gargling using warm salt water helps to reduce the pain in the throat. If the symptoms persist, visit a pulmonologist.

Hi I'm Sheila I am 32 yrs old...I have blocked nose and cough ,2days before it's dry cough.. yesterday I feel little bit cold and I take Himalaya(koflet syrup) and maxigesicPE (CAPLETS). WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW?
Answered on 3rd May '24
It seems you have the common cold. A stuffed nose, dry cough, and feeling chilly are the usual signs. These signs often come from viruses that spread easily. Good you took the koflet syrup and maxigesicPE pills. Rest up, drink lots of liquids, and try using a humidifier to help with your stuffed nose. If you feel worse or your symptoms stay, best to see a pulmonologist.
