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.

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.

Treatment for pneumonia in children typically involves antibiotics if it's caused by bacteria, and supportive care for viral pneumonia. Rest, fluids, and fever-reducing medications are also essential. However, severe cases might need hospitalization for oxygen therapy and intravenous fluids. It's important to consult a pediatrician for the right diagnosis and treatment plan.

Hello doctor I am 21 year old male I am suffering from irritation in back of my throat and mild whizzing sound when I exhale forcefully, it usually happens at night, and I previously experienced 3,4 times shortness of breath and excess mucus when I inhale smoke or dust accidentally. what is the problem?? Please reply
Male | 21
Asthma symptoms can involve throat irritation, wheezing, shortness of breath, and excess mucus - especially when exposed to smoke or dust. Asthma is an airway issue where inflammation and narrowing happen. This makes breathing harder. It's crucial you see a doctor to get properly diagnosed and a treatment plan outlined. This may involve medications like inhalers that help manage symptoms and prevent asthma attacks from occurring. Your description sounds like you might be experiencing asthma, so getting it checked out by a pulmonologist is important.

আমার ছেলের কাশী কিছুতেই সারছে না, কখনও বেশি হয়, কখনও আবার একদম বন্ধ হয়ে যায়, প্রায় 1 বছর ধরে হচ্ছে, চেস্ট x Ray করা হয়েছে, কোনো প্রবলেম নেই। আবহাওয়া খারাপ হলে কাশী বাড়ে আবার কমে যায়। অন্য কোনো প্রবলেম নেই। খেলাধুলা করলে বা সাইকেল চালালে কাশী একদম হয় না। বসে থাকলে কখনও কখনও হয়।

It sounds like your son's cough is persistent and fluctuates in intensity, regardless of a chest x-ray showing no issues. Weather changes seem to affect it, with worsening during bad weather. Surprisingly, no coughing during physical activities like sports or cycling, but sometimes occurs when sitting. It might be worth exploring further with a pulmonologist to understand the underlying cause.

My name is Amal 31 years old. I have some breathing problem and using Serflo 125 synchrobreathe. now in heavy rain i have cold and cough please suggest best medicine for nebulizer
Male | 31
Serflo 125 synchrobreathe is good but you need something more. You may want to try using Budecort respules with your nebulizer. These will help reduce any swelling inside your air passages which should make them wider and easier to breathe through. Do not forget about following the prescribed dosage exactly as instructed. But do visit your doctor before starting the medication.

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.

I have played national matches in boxing and wrestling. I had severe chest pain in May. If I show in the hospital, in the x-ray, it will show water in the chest, after fluid tapping, Tb will be found in that water, I was under a lot of mental stress. Because I have to take care of my house. I have been taking the medicine given by the doctor since one month, I have started boxing and wrestling training, I am feeling a little better but I am not feeling any strength in my body, can I take creatine to get strength? Please help me a little
Male | 26
Pneumothorax (TB) might be the water inside your chest. This is due to the fact that the immune system, when it is weak, can bring on the symptoms such as chest pain and tiredness. While taking medications as prescribed should be your priority, do not take creatine without your doctor’s approval because it may worsen your condition. However, for now, make sure you are resting enough, eating properly, and gradually getting back into your regular training routine.

The signs symptoms you told are related to respiratory or pulmonary issues.Consult a pulmonologist or general practitioner, for an accurate diagnosis and proper treatment. Meantime you can try general self care measures like stay hydrated, avoid triggers, and practice deep breathing exercises.

I am immune compromised and currently have Bronchitis. Today I've been using my pulseox seeing my O2 is mostly 82%-92% is this normal? My O2 has been 98%-100% until today.
Female | 32
Normally your normal B02 saturation level shouldn’t be bouncing between 82-92%. This is, in particular, a troubling case for someone whose immunity is compromised and who has chronic bronchitis. I advise you to seek help from a pulmonologist to carry out further evaluation and suggest treatment options.

Snoring and breathing problems at night
Male | 25
Air passage through your nose and throat gets obstructed when snoring. This could stem from allergies, excess weight, or nasal congestion. Nighttime breathing difficulties may arise from sleep apnea or asthma. Try sleeping sideways, keeping your room cool and airy, and avoiding heavy meals and alcohol before bedtime. If these don't help, consult a pulmonologist for proper evaluation and treatment.

Breathe prblm , shortness of breathe, it is being very extreme
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.

Hi dr I’m asthma from childhood I use seretide 500/50 vantoline lumenta 10 mg Last week I will visit chest dr he give me azit 500 mg 3 day per week I have chest ct scan and X-ray normal I have cough my left side and sometimes sound
Male | 50
You use Seretide and Ventoline to help your symptoms. The cough on your left side might be from asthma. It's good that the CT scan and X-ray of your chest were normal. Your chest doctor likely gave you the antibiotic Azit to fight lung infections. Take all the pills until they're gone, like the doctor said. If the cough gets worse or doesn't go away, see your pulmonologist again. They can check it out and give you a different treatment if needed.

you should see a pulmonologist to conduct tests for breathing problems. Also, you need to consult the gastroenterologist to assess your abdominal distension. Other consultations with a rheumatologist may also be necessary for your swollen fingers.

Since couple of days, I ’m suffering with cold cough and fever .. to treat I referred previous prescription of my family doctor and took following medicines - Zyrocold - 1-0-1 Zyzal - 1-0-1 Solvin - 1-0-1 Calpol - as & when required Mucinac - 1-1-1 but still I’m not recovering My sugar and thyroid is in limits with regular medicines
Female | 56
Taking medicines didn't help you feel better, that's concerning. Colds, coughs and fevers are often viral, requiring tailored treatment. Stay hydrated, well-rested and nourished. However, revisit your doctor for re-evaluation. Tests may reveal the issue, allowing adjusted treatment. Struggling through illness alone risks complications.

How to take sevfurane 50 inhaler? After taking sevfurane does a person stop breathing? What if a person drinks the sevfurane?
Female | 27
Inhale the sevfurane 50 by breathing in slowly and deeply while pressing down on the inhaler. Do not stop breathing after taking it as it should not make you stop breathing. If a person drinks sevfurane, they may feel dizzy, confused, have a slow heartbeat or even slip into a coma. In such a case, one should be rushed to the hospital without any delays. Drinking sevfurane is extremely dangerous and could lead to loss of life.

Even though you've tested negative for Tuberculosis and have no symptoms, these markings might be due to previous inflammation or infection. It's important to follow up with your doctor to make sure everything is okay before going abroad for a job. Get a thorough check-up and any additional tests your doctor recommends.
