Pulmonologist

Answered on 23rd May '24

A respiratory specialist or pulmonologist might be the one to consult given a persistent cough for the past 14 days after you have completed the course of antibiotics. Vaping can aggravate the airways and increase respiratory problems; hence the doctors must do a thorough evaluation to put the conditions right.

I am 41 year old. I recently had cough and cold then I took some drugs. Though the cough is gone, but for some days now anytime I cough my breath ceases

Male | 41

According to the research you've put forward, it is likely that you might have a disease known as asthma. Wheezing can occur during a cough when asthmatic patients have trouble breathing. This is a result of opened, inflamed, and tightened air tubes. In addition to coughing, other symptoms may include wheezing and chest tightness. One of the ways to cope is by staying away from irritants such as smoke or dust.

i'm been detect have influenza. Tamiflu are no longer have used to me. May i know any other medicine or option that can reduce the effect of influenza?

Male | 27

The flu is caused by a virus, not bacteria. It can make you feel sick with symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, and body aches. Since taking Tamiflu is not in the picture anymore, it is vital that you take good rest, drink lots of water, and take pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen to help get rid of the symptoms. These help to relieve illness and severe pain. Make sure to stay at home and avoid infecting other people with flu.

You've had a cough for some­ time. Tests showed bacte­ria, gram-negative bacilli, and gram-negative­ cocco bacilli, in your sputum. They cause lung infections. Symptoms like­ coughing often, fatigue, and breathing trouble­ are common. Antibiotics doctors prescribe he­lp fight these bacteria, cle­aring the infection.

Breathing problem and not able to eat food

Female | 63

You're experiencing breathlessness and an inability to eat. Breathing difficulties can be a result of weak lungs or heart. When you experience a struggle to eat, it could be problems with the throat or stomach. Both could be symptoms of a problem, particularly if it's continuous. It's necessary to have a checkup to identify what's making these problems.

I am looking after my dad that has end of life copd.hes not eating much very weak talks in his sleep and fidgety and is getting withdrawn from peopl

Male | 83

Extreme fatigue and loss of appetite could be caused by COPD. Sometimes people may talk while asleep, be restless, or become unresponsive during this period. This means that the body is extremely weak. Right now, what is most important is to make sure he is relaxed all the time, don’t force him to eat too much but give him small amounts of food often.

can i take co codamol with oramorph

Male | 31

One of the main points to remember here is that action is highly needed when considering co-codamol and oramorph together. These pain-relieving drugs contain opioids, which can be quite dangerous, especially when they are used in combination. Those may include headaches, drowsiness, and shallow breathing. It's a great idea to tell your doctor about your query if you suffer greatly from pain, as such may serve as your first step to the way out of your pain.

I have been waking up a lot while sleeping the past few days. I work nights so I sleep during the day and I laid down this morning to sleep and then everytime I was about to fall asleep I felt like I wasn’t breathing

Male | 24

You could have sle­ep apnea, where­ breathing stops briefly during slumber. Classic signs: waking ofte­n at night, feeling breathle­ss before slee­p. It's vital to consult a physician, who'll propose remedie­s. Side sleeping or spe­cial masks frequently ease­ the issue.

I have been getting sick with sore throat and lungs congestion for a long time now. Every month, at least two trips to the clinic with antibiotics is a must. I suspect that my asthmatic and wheezing, coughing, congestion, sinus, tonsillitis, and inflammation might br caused by mold in my home and office. How can I ask my doctor here in clinic to test my blood for the mold toxicity?

Female | 24

Mold can grow in damp areas, releasing spores that may cause illness. If you suspect mold exposure, you can ask your doctor for a blood test by saying, "I'm worried that mold at home or work may be causing my symptoms. Could we check for mold toxicity in my blood?" This test can help determine if mold is behind your health issues. In addition to treating any symptoms, it’s important to address the mold sources at home and work to improve your air quality.

I'm having breathing problem, chest pain,back pain and dry cough

Female | 26

I suggest visiting a pulmonologist within the shortest run for your breathing problem and dry cough. These symptoms may mean a respiratory infection or something that can progress to more serious problems such as asthma or bronchitis. For your chest and back pain, however, see a consultant orthopedic specialist who will discover and treat muscle and bone problems as needed.
