Given that the cough has been ongoing for three months and previous treatments have not been effective, it's crucial to consult her doctor again. They can reevaluate her condition, conduct further tests if necessary, and provide appropriate treatment options.

Weldon sir/ma, I am issues with breathing and sometimes too I have chest pain, sometimes when I stand. I was told to do an x-ray to figure it out but the test results came out anf everything seemed normal, but I am still having issues.

Male | 15

You reporte­d breathing difficulties, chest discomfort whe­n standing, despite normal X-ray results. This could indicate­ asthma, anxiety, or acid reflux issues. I advise­ discussing additional testing with your doctor, such as lung function evaluation or ele­ctrocardiogram (ECG). These further e­xaminations may provide insight into the underlying cause­, allowing appropriate treatment.

It's important to have her evaluated by a specialist. While she may not have any known health issues, this symptom could indicate an underlying problem that requires attention.

My 3 year girl is suffering a blocked up nose. No cold nor adanoide issues. She struggles to get air passes the top of her nose, and stops her breath for about a few seconds through out the hole night. She will wake her self up for a breath

Female | 3

This looks like OSAS (obstructive sleep apnea syndrome) and will need clinical evaluation and sometimes few investigations. It is important to identify and treat the condition in time as it has many long term complications.

i use Airduo inhaler twice day and ate a grapefruit today and didn’t know there’s an interaction how long before i can use inhaler

Male | 69

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.

Hello, I am 30 years old. I have shortness of breath in the bronchi. The doctor prescribed me salbutamol lesetrin lukastin ansimar drugs for the bronchi. Can I masturbate while using these drugs?

Kişi | 30

Short breath in the air tube­s can come from things like asthma or lung illness. The­ meds your doc gave you, like salbutamol, le­setrin, lukastin, and ansimar, help open up the­ air tubes and cut swelling. Touching yourself like­ly won't impact your issue or how well the me­ds work. Just follow what your doctor says and take the meds as told.

This question is about my mother, 60 years old, with influenza type A that unfortunately led to viral pneumonia. She's hospitalized for the past 4 days, her flu seems to be subsiding, but the pneumonia is not. I am worried and I just wanted to know if she's gonna be alright doctor.

Female | 60

Viral pneumonia takes longer to get better compared to the flu. I’m glad that she is recovering from the flu. Symptoms of pneumonia include difficulty breathing, productive cough, and chest pain. To cure the infection, antibiotics will be administered among other drugs. She needs to have enough rest and time too. Therefore, follow the doctors’ instructions and be patient with her.

Cold,cough,headache,fever,mucus in throat,weakness

Female | 21

Seems like you have caught a common cold which is caused by a virus. The symptoms of cough, headache, fever, mucus in the throat and feeling weak can be seen. To feel better try taking more liquid, rest and maybe over the counter drugs for colds. Seek medical advice if you do not improve after one week or if they become severe.

I am a 20 year old male who has been having chest pains for the past week. They have come and go and spread through my chest and shoulders to my back. They are typically sharp or dull and can occur when I take a deep breath but feel better while I exercise. I had this before and had two x rays in the past and an x ray today to check if there was anything wrong with my lungs and evertime, my doctors assured me I am fine. I heard that x rays can miss lung cancer.

Male | 20

X-rays are generally effective in detecting lung conditions, but they may not always identify all potential issues, and early stages lung cancer. However it's important to note that chest pain can have various causes, and lung cancer is relatively rare, especially in young individuals. Consider discussing your concerns with your doctor who can evaluate your symptoms and recommend further tests or referrals to address your chest pains. They are in the best position to provide appropriate guidance based on your individual situation.

Recently I have been diagnosed with pleural thickening RT CP in x-ray

Male | 25

Pleural fibrosis results in thickening of the lungs lining and further development of breath problems and other symptoms. It may occur as a result of several different things like being exposed to asbestos or being infected by a certain bacterium or virus. I will recommend you see a pulmonodigist who can assess the exact condition and recommend a proper treatment plan.

i am 17 year old boy . i have drug resistance tb in lungs so, i want to ask that can i take creatine and whey protein as i am doing gym

Male | 17

This can cause symptoms such as coughing, chest pains, and coughing up blood. Persons under TB medication are not encouraged to use creatine or whey proteins since it alter how the body responds to the drugs. Concentrate on the treatment plan provided by your doctor and also eat a balanced diet that will help in fighting the infection. Continue going to the gym but don’t take any supplements that may affect the healing process of TB within your body.
