Answered on 23rd May '24

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.

Male | 24

A wet cough that keeps on going for a long time can be a sign of various other underlying ailments such as bronchitis, pneumonia, and asthma. It is recommended to visit a doctor who can evaluate your symptoms and offer you the right treatment. If the symptoms are serious or continue too long, it may be best to see a pulmonologist.

Cough..very hard.........

Male | 30

Your cough sounds very inte­nse. A severe­ cough can signify illnesses like che­st infections, throat infections, allergie­s, or asthma. Stay hydrated, use a humidifier, and take­ cough medicine if require­d. If it persists, see a pulmonologist. Seve­re coughing fits are difficult. Coughs sometime­s indicate underlying conditions. Persiste­nt coughing warrants medical attention. Reme­dies like fluids and humidifiers provide­ temporary relief.

Treatment for pneumonia in children

Male | 25

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.

Male | 83

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.

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.

I was diagnosed with copd last year. I am 35, don't smoke. I am always tired and I can;t clean the house anymore

Female | 35

Dealing with COPD can be challenging, even if you're a non-smoker. Feeling constantly tired and struggling with tasks like house cleaning can happen without much notice. COPD can be caused by air pollution, second-hand smoke, or genetic factors. To manage the condition, follow your doctor's prescribed medications, do breathing exercises, and avoid triggers that worsen your symptoms. Getting enough rest and eating a healthy diet are key to boosting your energy levels.

Male | 62

Constant light pain on the left side of the chest for a period not shorter than half and year may have many causes, starting from musculoskeletal disorders to heart-related diseases. Your foster father should also seek professional advice from a cardiologist to query through his heart history and check it out, via tests such as an ECG of X-ray for the identification of its cause. He should get prompt medical attention to rule out any serious conditions and ensure his health.

Weldon sir/ma, I am issues with breathing and sometimes too I have chest pain, sometimes when I stand. I was told to do an x-ray to figure it out but the test results came out anf everything seemed normal, but I am still having issues.

Male | 15

You reporte­d breathing difficulties, chest discomfort whe­n standing, despite normal X-ray results. This could indicate­ asthma, anxiety, or acid reflux issues. I advise­ discussing additional testing with your doctor, such as lung function evaluation or ele­ctrocardiogram (ECG). These further e­xaminations may provide insight into the underlying cause­, allowing appropriate treatment.

A sore throat and a runny nose could mean that you have a cold. The common cold is usually caused by a virus that is easily spread from person to person. To help yourself feel better, rest a lot, drink warm beverages such as tea and honey, and also gargle salt water which will soothe your throat. Typically it clears up within a few days.

If shortness of breath comes in while walking on, it means the respiratory condition. It is advised to consult a pulmonologist for further assessment and diagnosis. A pulmonologist is a specialist who can help in diagnosing and treating lung and respiratory conditions.

I am 41 year old. I recently had cough and cold then I took some drugs. Though the cough is gone, but for some days now anytime I cough my breath ceases

Male | 41

According to the research you've put forward, it is likely that you might have a disease known as asthma. Wheezing can occur during a cough when asthmatic patients have trouble breathing. This is a result of opened, inflamed, and tightened air tubes. In addition to coughing, other symptoms may include wheezing and chest tightness. One of the ways to cope is by staying away from irritants such as smoke or dust.
