Hi. I have bad chest infection there pure green stuff coming up all the time with very bad taste to my mouth and head .. I am on tablets 3 days for this but I feel there no end to the chest infection and the green stuff that is coming up I am 43 years male and I take to inhalers aday I feel like it’s lying in my wind pipe at times
Male | 43
It seems you develop a very substantial respiratory infection and you have green-colored phlegm discharge, almost always suggesting that ongoing infection is present. Even though drugs usually need time to start working, the symptoms that persist might be serious. Viscid or molasses-like mucus, which is hard to breathe in and is very uncomfortable as well, you should be properly hydrated; if necessary, a humidifier can help breathing. When in the next few days the symptoms of the condition do not reduce, or you, on the contrary, feel yourself worse, please see the pulmonologist.

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.

If you think your chest pain is due to smoking, then you must stop smoking to reduce the risk further. Get a thorough evaluation done by a cardiologist or pulmonologist for further treatment.

Mujhe lungs me hydatid cyst and bronchitis hua tha uska surgery huye 90 day hua sahi tha sab pta nhi kyu khasi aur thoda pain ho rha starch ke side me
Male | 23
You had surgery in your lungs and bronchitis 90 days ago to get rid of a hydatid cyst. It's normal to have a cough and some pain even after surgery. Coughing could be leftover irritation in your lungs that causes the problem. The pain could be your body still healing. Rest, drink plenty of fluids, and follow up with your pulmonologist to ensure everything is okay.

Female | 28
Night coughs can happen for many reasons. Maybe you have allergies, asthma, or a cold. Phlegm means you might have an infection in your chest. Keep drinking water and breathing steam. If coughing doesn't stop, see a pulmonologist to check it out.

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.

103° temperature and throat and cough
Male | 19
A 103°F temperature along with a sore throat and cough can mean that you have been infected with a virus such as the flu or a cold. Most of the time, these as well originated at the side of the body virus. Your body temperature goes higher to attack the infection. However, the infection can be fought by high fluid intakes, enough sleep, and taking over-the-counter drugs. So if there is no improvement after 2-3 days you may need to see your pulmonologist.

Female | 26
Asthma may be the cause of your breathing problems, making it feel like your lungs aren't functioning properly. This condition can lead to symptoms such as wheezing and coughing. Common triggers include allergies and exercise. If prescribed by your doctor, an inhaler can help open your airways and ease breathing difficulties. If you don't notice any improvement within a few days, consult a pulmonologist.

Various factors such as anxiety, muscle strain, or serious health problems like heart issues or respiratory conditions can all give us unpleasant bodily sensations. The key to getting well is to be in touch with your body; these issues need attention and proper evaluation by a specialist.

Fever, cough, headache and running nose
Male | 29
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.

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.

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.

Male | 18
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.

Many things can cause a cough, like allergies, infections, or even other health problems. After treatment, the appearance of your symptoms indicates the necessity of further action. A pulmonologist can see your situation in a more detailed way and may propose some additional examinations or therapies that are made personally for you.

I have been suffering from a cough for the past five months. My current ESR value is 65. Is this normal, or could it indicate TB. (TB)?
Female | 32
A persistent cough lasting several months can have various causes, ranging from infections to allergies. An elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) indicates inflammation in the body but does not specifically point to tuberculosis (TB). Common symptoms of TB include prolonged cough, weight loss, fever, and night sweats. It’s essential to consult a pulmonologist for an accurate diagnosis and personalized care. Tests may be needed to determine the root cause of your symptoms.

I believe I have a pretty nasty cold or possibly flu-lke virus and i just want to make sure that my symptoms dont require further medical intervention. It started Friday night 03/22/24 with a severe sore throat, post nasal drip, and diarrhea. The progression of symptoms has gone from severe throat pain to pain and congestion/runniness and dry bloody sinuses with a sinus headache, to some sinus congestion/runniness with coughing. I do not have a sore throat now and i dont have diarrhea but i do have nausea which ive had the whole time but it seems a little worse now, and i have significant fatigue and muscle weakness. My eyes are also dry and crusty and very bloodshot. Im not really having trouble breathing, and ive had a very low grade fever/no fever throughout the entire duration of this illness.
Female | 23
It appears a viral infection, like flu, troubles you. The sore throat, post nasal drip, diarrhea, sinus issues, cough, nausea, and fatigue - all common viral signs. Stay hydrated well; rest up properly; use saline rinses or OTC meds for symptomatic reprieve. If symptoms worsen or concerns arise, consult a pulmonologist promptly.
