I had dry cough sometimes and feels sinuses pressure after eating especially forehead

Male | 28

Post-nasal drip could cause your discomfort. Excess mucus draining down your throat can make you cough and feel sinus pressure around your forehead area. Food consumption might trigger it. Staying hydrated by drinking water regularly, and using saline nasal spray, could alleviate these symptoms.

It sounds like you're experiencing significant distress both mentally and physically.

Anxiety or any cold-like respiratory virus might be causing these symptoms. It is imperative to take care of yourself. You can try breathing exercises, take a rest, and talk to someone. If you are still not feeling well, make sure you reach out to our nearest pulmonologist or psychiatrist for a counseling session.

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.

I took promethazine dm syrup with diflucan for my sinus infection and bronchitis

Other | 28

You should not combine it with diflucan sinus and bronchitis infection medications. Promethazine DM syrup is a drug that contains an antihistamine and a cough suppressant, while diflucan is a medication with antifungal action. It is advisable to get a prescriber's advice before taking any medicine and follow their patient care course accordingly. For sinus infection and bronchitis, turning to a pulmonologist or an ENT specialist is recommended.

Sir Yesterday I met a girl who had TB disease and talked to her for about 40 minutes. She even shouted once, "Do I have any chance of getting infected from her?" I was not there for more than 40 minutes.

Male | 22

The chances of catching TB from a brief interaction are low. Experts say TB is mainly contracted through prolonged close contact with someone who has active TB. Common symptoms include cough, weight loss, fever, and night sweats. To be safe, watch for these signs. If anything seems off, consult a pulmonologist.

These symptoms often happen when you have a virus infection. Lotide cough syrup can help your throat feel better and stop coughing so much. Prednisolone medicine is a steroid that can reduce swelling in your throat.

Male | 34

The flu is a virus that can cause your body to feel weak, sore, and have a fever. It can also cause you to cough, and your eyes may become weak. To assist in your recovery, keep drinking plenty of liquids, get enough sleep, and take plenty of nutrients. Over-the-counter medicines can provide relief from the symptoms but if you are not getting better, visit a pulmonologist.

Your case might be pneumonia. It can make you cough up thick, pinkish mucus and can also cause pain in the left part of the chest when you lie down. You might also have trouble breathing while sleeping. Pneumonia is an infection that triggers inflammation in the air sacs in your lungs. You have to refer a pulmonologist for the best diagnosis and treatment.

I believe I was inaccurately diagnosed with BA asthma. Two weeks ago I had the flu and it was a bad episode as I was exposed to cold air. For the past year or so, it got difficult for me to exercise regularly as I used to do and while climbing the stairs as well. I have coughing fits that sound strange like it's deep from the lungs. I don't think I have wheezing but I got a whistle like sound whenever I'm exhaling through my nose not mouth. The doctor prescribed to me the circular purple inhaler yet I use the blue one called vintolen as I'm concerned. The spirometry test results were normal. I want to know whether I have asthma and should use the inhaler or not as the fits increase by being exposed to smoke and so on.

Female | 23

It sounds like you've been experiencing significant respiratory symptoms that can be concerning. Coughing fits, especially when they worsen with exposure to irritants like smoke, can suggest an underlying condition, potentially including asthma. While your spirometry results were normal, it’s essential to discuss your ongoing symptoms with your pulmonologist. They can reassess your diagnosis and the appropriateness of your inhaler.

Little amount of blood with phlegm

Male | 19

This type of incident can occur due to the inflammation in your airways caused by a cough or infection. The blood could be in the form of light streaks or spots. Generally speaking, it's nothing serious, but it's a good idea to visit a doctor anyway. Be sure to drink a lot of water, and take a break, and if it doesn't go away or gets worse, contact a pulmonologist for precaution.

To make you feel better, be sure to drink plenty of water and get lots of rest, you may also use OTC medicines that help with symptoms like a sore throat and dizziness.

You have a wet cough with yellow-green mucus and a stuffy nose, but no sore throat, correct? This could be a respiratory infection like a cold.

You could have sleep apnea, where breathing stops briefly during slumber. Classic signs: waking often at night, feeling breathless before sleep. It's vital to consult a physician, who'll propose remedies. Side sleeping or special masks frequently ease the issue.
