Answered on 10th Feb '25
Lung nodules can arise from various causes, including infections, inflammation, or benign growths, not just cancer. Symptoms may not always be present, making it essential to monitor any changes in health. The best course of action is to have a thorough evaluation by a pulmonologist. They may recommend imaging tests or a biopsy for a clear diagnosis.

My girlfriend says she feels cheast pain, during cold days, she says it's a sharp pain from the inside
Male | 22
She may be suffering from chest pain due to costochondritis. This occurs when the cartilage in the chest gets inflamed in cold weather. It can cause a sudden pain inside the chest. To ease the pain, she can use warm compresses, take pain relievers like ibuprofen, and avoid activities that aggravate the pain. If the pain does not go away or becomes more severe, she should consult a pulmonologist for further treatment.

you should see a pulmonologist to conduct tests for breathing problems. Also, you need to consult the gastroenterologist to assess your abdominal distension. Other consultations with a rheumatologist may also be necessary for your swollen fingers.

Sidi per chadhte hue sans phoolta hai
Male | 39
Asthma is a condition where your lungs tighten, making it difficult to breathe normally. You might feel like you can't take a full breath because your airways narrow. An inhaler, prescribed by your doctor, contains medicine to help open those airways. It's important to keep your inhaler close and use it when your asthma flares up. Properly managing your asthma keeps you safe and healthy.

Male | 58
An HRCT scan, recommended by your doctor, allows them to view your body and identify the possible cause of your shortness of breath. This scan can reveal issues like infections, inflammation, or lung scars. Based on the results, your doctor will suggest the most suitable treatment, such as medications or other therapies.

Fever, cough, headache and running nose
Male | 29
The fever is your body signaling you are sick, and the cough and nasal congestion are two signs of your respiratory system being affected. Drink a lot of fluids, rest well and if you feel you can take some over-the-counter medicines to help you feel better. Most of these cases just pass by themselves, but in case the opposite happens or if the discomfort lasts, go ask a pulmonologist for advice. They must carry out a more detailed assessment and apply the correct treatment.

Difficulty in breathing while walking eating,working.Taking deep breaths frequently, also nasal blockage
Male | 23
You're struggling to breathe properly, needing deep breaths frequently, especially during activity, meals, or work. A blocked nose can also make breathing difficult. Allergies, asthma, or respiratory infections could cause these symptoms. To help, try using a humidifier, avoiding dust or pet dander triggers, and keeping your nose clear with saline sprays. However, if these don't improve things, consulting a pulmonologist is crucial for personalized advice addressing your specific condition.

Cough not cure for 2 years
Female | 39
A cough that has lasted for 2 years can be a serious issue that we need to investigate. It could be attributed to several causes such as asthma, allergies, or even acid reflux. Other symptoms such as chest pain or difficulty breathing might give us clues. It's essential to go to a doctor for proper assessment and treatment. Don't postpone, as controlling the main issue can promote the relief of that intractable cough.

Sir, my ESR is 64 or there is infection in the right region in the x-ray, do I have TB? And I am on antibiotics (IV Fluid) but the infection has still not gone down, so what should I do next?
Female | 23
You expressed worry about tuberculosis. TB affects blood test results like ESR, causing high readings. It creates infections visible on X-rays too. However, these signs are not exclusive to TB. Various infections or diseases produce similar effects. The antibiotics not clearing the infection is concerning. It suggests the need for different medication or further tests. Finding the root cause is vital.

Medications for TB commonly bring about changes in mood such as crankiness. Having junk meals while under TB drugs could worsen the situation. Ensure your brother eats nourishing food. If he still gets angry easily, you should consult his doctor.

Female | 18
If you're feeling chest pain that worsens when you eat, it might be related to your stomach or digestion, possibly heartburn. Eating smaller meals and avoiding spicy or greasy foods can help. Stay hydrated and avoid lying down right after eating. If the pain continues, it's best to see a pulmonologist for a check-up.

I have lung infection which is caused by klebseilla pneumonia.. I found it a month ago! I have been taking medications my wheezing has stopped lately but i am having severe back pain and difficulty in swalloing food. Are these due to the same infection?
Female | 19
The severe hurt in your back and the trouble to swallow food may be from the infection in the lungs caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae. Sometimes, this infectious microorganism can circulate to other locations justifying the appearance of brand-new symptoms. The back pain might be a result of an inflammation, while the timing issue could be caused by throat irritation. Discussing these new symptoms with a pulmonologist is the first step to getting a suitable treatment.

Iam 18 years old Im suffering from cough from 7 days. my father prescribed me Azithromycin 500 mg. Actually my father is not a doctor but having some medication knowledge. Is it ok to take Azithromycin 500 mg ??
Male | 18
Perhaps a cold or allergies trigger the cough that has been there for 7 days. Azithromycin 500 mg is an antibiotic that can help if your cough is a result of a bacterial infection. Nonetheless, it's important to get a pulmonologist's examination to find out the exact cause of your cough before taking medication to take precautions before it occurs again.

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?
Female | 68
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.

Male | 38
According to your symptoms and X-ray results, it looks like you might have a respiratory infection. This can be a source of throat irritation, coughing, and breathing problems. Take over-the-counter cough syrup to assist with the cough. Furthermore, you should drink sufficient fluids and sleep well. Consult a pulmonologist and get further evaluation and treatment in case your symptoms persist or worsen.

My mother is 68th yr old and have cough issue, we meditate her properly nd have completed every possible test regarding cough, all test reports are normal. She couldn't sleep an hour properly Plz help us.
Female | 68
Coughing for a long time can still appear despite the normal test results because of other causes such as postnasal drip or acid reflux. These problems can lead to the throat getting more irritated and the cough lasting longer. To support her in getting more sleep, you may want to raise her head while she is sleeping and make the room humid. Besides that, avoiding bad triggers such as smoke or strong odors can be useful. If the situation persists, a visit to either a pulmonologist or allergist might be a good thing.
