I am a woman and have had a severe cold for about a week now.

Female | 22

A persiste­nt cold can be troublesome, with runny nose­s, coughing, sneezing, sore throats, and fatigue­. Viruses spread these­ common illnesses betwe­en people. Re­st, hydrate, and consider over-the­-counter remedie­s for relief. Gargling warm saltwater soothe­s sore throats. Seek me­dical attention if symptoms worsen or persist be­yond a week.

Been having a cough for 2 weeks finished my antibiotics I do vape

Female | 21

A respiratory specialist or pulmonologist might be the one to consult given a persistent cough for the past 14 days after you have completed the course of antibiotics. Vaping can aggravate the airways and increase respiratory problems; hence the doctors must do a thorough evaluation to put the conditions right.

Hello, i have aasthma since my childhood, im in my 20's now and thinking to add l arigine in my daily routine, 2.5gm daily. Will it be harmful or alright to counsume it?

Male | 23

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.

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.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a serious infection that mainly affects the lungs. Symptoms include coughing, chest pain, weight loss, and fatigue. TB is a contagious disease that spreads through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Your uncle should stay in his room until he finishes his treatment, as TB can spread to others. To prevent this, certain measures should be followed. It's important to follow your doctor’s advice to protect both yourself and your uncle.
