Could my cough with blood be serious?
1. Cough (2 days) 2. Has mucus ( i feel like iron inside my throat) 3. I cough blood start this morning
Pulmonologist
Answered on 23rd Dec '24
It seems like you are having some problems that require attention. The mucus that accompanies a continuous cough and the presence of blood are indications of various things, like the irritation of the upper respiratory tract or an infection. It is crucial to watch your symptoms and your general health very closely. Water is best for staying hydrated and a humidifier can be used to minimize discomfort in the throat. But the bleeding in your cough is why the first medical visit is a must. Consult a pulmonologist for proper treatment advice.

A Patient 73 year old male has metastatic lung cancer went through radiation it's been 2-3 months since radiation ...used to eat a little but over the time his desire to eat has disappeared [has just a cup of juice but not frequently and gets wheezing cough whenever he does ] has lost so much weight [went from 70 kg to 45-50 ish] unable to walk by himself and recently fractured his femur [hence bedridden ] ..is now admitted thinking of going through surgery for the same [doctor says no guarantee ]...can I give them shilajit or I shouldn't because their lungs are too weak for that ?
Male | 73
The weight loss and decreased appetite can stem from both cancer and treatment effects. A weak lung condition can make adding supplements like shilajit risky, as it may not be advisable for those with respiratory issues. Focus on ensuring hydration and small, gentle meals, if tolerated. It’s vital to have an ongoing conversation with the pulmonologist about pain management and nutrition strategies. Always consult with his doctor before introducing any new remedies to ensure his safety and appropriate care.

Fever cold and cough from 3 days.
Male | 28
You might have a common cold. A cold is generally referred to as a runny nose, sneezing, sore throat, cough, and other symptoms. It is caused by a virus that spreads from one person to the other with minimal contact or any. To make you feel better, be sure to drink plenty of water and get lots of rest, you may also use OTC medicines that help with symptoms like a sore throat and dizziness. However, if it does not improve in a few days, visit a pulmonologist.

It have a dangerous coughing in her chest but the medication is there blow 1 inhalers 2 Antistanines 3 Dextromethorphan 4 Benzonatate 5 codein or Hydrocodone
Female | 56
These include infections, allergies, or irritation. Good ways to relax and open bronchial tubes are inhalers, which are medications, while antihistamines are used to cancel the symptoms of allergies. Dextromethorphan and benzonatate are among the soothing medicines for a prolonged cough, and among prescription drugs, codeine or hydrocodone may be curative measures for severe conditions. The right thing is to keep tabs on symptoms and visit a pulmonologist if your cough gets worse or doesn’t get better.

Experiencing sudden jerks can be concerning. There are possibilities for the sensation of a jerk or interruption in breathing that happens due to sleep disorders, anxiety or panic attacks or other respiratory conditions like asthama or COPD. Consult a pulmonologist to assess your condition and to get apt treatment for it.

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 have been coughing a lot for the past three days with soar throat...I went to the dispensary and I was given Lotide & prednisolone ....is this a right medicine for me?
Male | 35
These symptoms often happen when you have a virus infection. Lotide cough syrup can help your throat feel better and stop coughing so much. Prednisolone medicine is a steroid that can reduce swelling in your throat.

I've been coughing for more than 3 weeks and sometimes I find it hard to breathe
Female | 22
It seems like you’re having a hard time. Not being able to breathe well and coughing for more than 3 weeks is strange. A bad cold or even asthma can cause these problems. But it could also mean that there’s something wrong with your lungs. If you don’t take care of it right away, then you might have even more trouble later on. Usually, you’ll need drugs that help you breathe better and cure any infection. So I think seeing a pulmonologist as soon as possible would be the best thing to do.

I am having chest discomfort and wheezing which can be felt my me only and not heard out . And I am having shortness of breath
Female | 21
Asthma makes breathing difficult. Your airways become inflamed and swollen. You feel tightness in your chest. Wheezing sounds happen as air struggles to pass through narrow pipes. Using an inhaler opens the airways. This allows air to flow freely. Breathing becomes easier, and more comfortable. Seeing a pulmonologist can properly diagnose asthma. Proper treatment helps manage symptoms.

Female | 2
Your daughter is experiencing symptoms commonly associated with respiratory infections, such as chest congestion, cough, and a cold. These can be caused by viruses, allergies, or irritants in the environment. To alleviate her discomfort, consider using a humidifier, warm fluids, and over-the-counter medications like expectorants or antihistamines, which can help in easing congestion. However, if her symptoms persist or worsen, it is essential to consult a pediatrician for a thorough evaluation and tailored care.

Can I take chest and cold medicine along with kit 6
Female | 21
Combining chest and cold medicine with Kit 6 can sometimes be a bit tricky. Cough and cold medications are sometimes prescribed to alleviate a sore throat, a cough, and a stuffy nose. Nevertheless, Kit 6 may still be managing these. It is advisable not to combine two similar medications to avoid the occurrence of undesired side effects. If you still feel unwell, reach out to a pulmonologist for proper guidance.

Female | 65
A cough that is dry and lasts two months or more can be due to different factors. It's good that she is taking tablets and home remedies but if the cough still stays on, it would be best to consult a pulmonologist once again to have it properly diagnosed. Also, advise your grandma to drink lots of fluids, use a humidifier in the room, and if possible, turn her filled with irritants like smoke or dust.

Grapefruit consumption can disrupt the body's ability to process Airduo inhaler. It heightens the risk of adverse reactions. You must wait 24 hours before using the inhaler after eating grapefruit. Interaction symptoms like accelerated heartbeat, trembling, or nervousness may occur. Avoid grapefruit while utilizing this inhaler to remain safe.
