Night coughs can happen for many reasons. Maybe you have allergies, asthma, or a cold. Phlegm means you might have an infection in your chest. Keep drinking water and breathing steam. If coughing doesn't stop, see a pulmonologist to check it out.

My 1 year old son has a mucus blockage on his throat, its not going anywhere even when he cough and he is struggling to breath1
Male | 1
Respiratory mucus obstruction may be why your son is experiencing breathing problems, which can sometimes result in throat blockage. Coughing being the common symptom and difficulty breathing are other signs to look for. This blockage can be a result of a cold or allergies. If he is still alive, you can help him through the use of a humidifier in his room to make mucus easier to clear and whoop his back lightly a few times to help him clear his throat. If the issue continues or worsens, then you should consult a pulmonologist.

I am facing shortness of breath and unable to move due to this. Already taking treatment but no improvement getting. Doctor is treating for CRP. It is reported 38 on 26 aug and platelet are 83000. Also fever and khasi.
Male | 63
When you show symptoms such as a fever, cough, and CRP levels that are too high, it might mean there is a serious infection in your body. The high platelet count may also be a sign of inflammation. It's vital to stick strictly to your doctor's instructions since they are most probably dealing with an infection at the moment. Keep them updated on any shifts in your symptoms, or if you're feeling worse. Rest, drink a lot of water, and take the medications as prescribed. If you see any signs of your symptoms worsening, contact a pulmonologist immediately.

Hlo sir last 2 years i have been diagnosed with tb..tb is cure but xray report slight bronchovesicular prominance are seen in peri hillar and lower zone..i always have throat ireeitation and back throat mucus produce...recently i am going to married does it affect my life
Male | 23
You had TB some time ago, and now you're worried about your lungs and throat. The X-ray showed a slight prominence, probably from the old TB. Throat irritation and mucus at the back are common issues nowadays. These shouldn't affect your marriage, but it's important to care for your health. To ease the irritated throat and mucus, stay hydrated, use a humidifier, or gargle with warm salt water. However, if the symptoms don't improve or worsen, see a pulmonologist for advice.

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.

Female | 22
You're in a hard situation when it comes to your breathing. Feeling like you're not getting enough air can add to your shortness of breath. It can bring about several things such as asthma, lung infections, heart diseases, or even anxiety. Try to remain calm, sit up straight, and start taking slow, deep breaths. If it remains, then, you should get medical help immediately.

I am a 47 year old male i had post thyroidectomy and recently got a CT scan and it shows subcentrimetric nodules scattered in the lungs so what does that mean
Male | 47
Following your thyroid surgery and the CT scan, some small nodules were spotted in your lungs. These are very common little growths that hardly ever have any symptoms attached to them. They could have been caused by many things such as infections or past illnesses. In most cases, no action needs to be taken concerning these growths but you need to keep visiting a doctor to check up on them frequently. If you start feeling unusual in any way like continuous coughing or struggling to breathe, please inform your physician immediately.

The patient is having lots of cough and couldn't sleep because of continues cough can i use levofloxacin with fexofenadine precisely leflox 750 mg with telfast 120 mg
Male | 87
Do not attempt to medicate yourself without a proper diagnosis. The patient might be suffering from a respiratory illness or allergy, hence the combination of levofloxacin and fexofenadine might not be appropriate. It is suggested that you see a pulmonologist or allergist for proper assessment and management.

My daughter has had a pretty bad cough since Wednesday. We know it’s bronchitis, but we need some over-the-counter medicine for her to take. Do you have any recommendations?
Female | 13
if this is bronchitis, the problem is that there may be some swelling inside her lungs’ airways. It causes coughing, mucus and sometimes fever too. Give her lots of water to drink and let her have enough bed rest. Additionally, consider buying an OTC cough syrup with dextromethorphan for her. This will relieve the irritation in the throat making the cough less frequent and more productive. Do not exceed the recommended dose on the label without consulting a doctor or pharmacist first.
