Experiencing Fever, Cough, Headache, and Runny Nose?
Fever, cough, headache and running nose
Pulmonologist
Answered on 26th Dec '24
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.

The tests show you may have a sickness. Your body is fighting it. The TB medicine is helping, but sicknesses can take time to go away. Keep taking your medicine like the doctor said. Tell the doctor if you feel new things. Stay hopeful! Follow what the doctor says.

You are right in saying that you have certain concerns regarding the application of creatine and whey protein while undergoing tuberculosis treatment. Normally, creatine and whey protein supplements are safe when taken safely, but in your scenario, you should be more cautious. TB treatment would require specific medicines to help do their job. The consumption of creatine and whey protein may interfere with the absorption of these drugs, or in other words, decrease the strength of drugs. It is also crucial that you do not deviate from the exact set of actions the medic tells you to because, in your place, your health is the top priority. Once the chemo treatment is done, you might consider the idea of taking these supplements as directed by your pulmonologist.

Female | 47
A chest x-ray may rule out pneumonia or bronchitis but whether the prescription is appropriate remains questionable. In case you have a persistent cough and chest congestion, it is recommended that a pulmonologist should be consulted for further examination and treatment.

1. Cough (2 days) 2. Has mucus ( i feel like iron inside my throat) 3. I cough blood start this morning
Female | 17
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.

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.

Lung metastases from cancer can result in cough, dyspnea, and chest pain. The therapy you underwent has been difficult, but it is worrying that the tumor in your right lung has increased so much. In this context, further investigation and possibly intervention such as surgery, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy might be the next step. It is crucial to consult your doctor about your case to determine the optimal path.

I wanna talk about chest infection
Male | 55
A chest infection happens when germs enter the lungs. Breathing becomes difficult. You might cough constantly, feel short of breath, and experience chest discomfort. Viruses or bacteria frequently cause this condition. To alleviate symptoms, get plenty of rest, drink water regularly, and use a humidifier. Additionally, inhaling steam or taking warm showers can provide relief. However, if symptoms worsen, it's crucial to seek medical attention from a pulmonologist.

Why is my cough somewhat black in colour...idid smoke in my past.
Male | 22
The tar and the other chemicals from smoking that are trapped in your lungs may cause you to have a black-colored cough. This means that the top layer of your lungs, which is trying to push out the harmful substances by coughing, is functioning properly. It's an indicator that the natural healing process of your body is working. To improve the condition of your lungs, it is critical to stop smoking and utilize water to clear out the tar that causes your cough.

Female | 31
Liquid between the lungs is called pleural effusion. Among the reasons causing pleural effusion, congestive heart failure, pneumonia, cancer and kidney or liver disease are some of them.

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.

L-arginine can assist certain individuals in their breathing, but for those with asthma, it might not be the optimal choice. L-arginine can set off asthma attacks in some people, rendering one to gasp more. It is crucial to consult your physician before commencing any novel supplement, particularly if you have asthma.
