It is advisable not to discontinue steroids abruptly without consulting your doctor as it leads to withdrawal symptoms. Please visit your doctor for any worries about the medication and they will give you a professional advice. If you happen to need a respiratory problem specialist, visit a pulmonologist.

I am 20 years male and have cough for more than 1 months I have taken some pills and home ingredients and still I am coughing and I had headache while coughing
Male | 20
If you have been coughing for over a month, it could mean something more serious happening. Sometimes people get headaches when they cough because of the pressure in their head. The most common reasons why a cough lasts a long time are infections such as bronchitis or even asthma. You should see a pulmonologist so that they can find out what is wrong and give you the right treatment.

Male | 17
You are right in saying that you have certain concerns regarding the application of creatine and whey protein while undergoing tuberculosis treatment. Normally, creatine and whey protein supplements are safe when taken safely, but in your scenario, you should be more cautious. TB treatment would require specific medicines to help do their job. The consumption of creatine and whey protein may interfere with the absorption of these drugs, or in other words, decrease the strength of drugs. It is also crucial that you do not deviate from the exact set of actions the medic tells you to because, in your place, your health is the top priority. Once the chemo treatment is done, you might consider the idea of taking these supplements as directed by your pulmonologist.

TB ki dawa 1 sal se chal rahi hai lekin bar bar infection ho ja raha hai aur cough ata sene me dard hota hai sans lene me dikat ho rahi hai
Female | 25
When you have repeated contamination and signs such as coughing, chest pain, and difficulty breathing, you must contact your doctor as soon as possible. These TB strains could be your TB drug-resistance treatment. The need for urgent treatment of these symptoms is the main reason for stopping the infection's growth.

Yes, a pill can get stuck in your lung. it can happen when something you’re swallowing goes down the wrong way. If you have trouble breathing after taking medicine, or you cough, wheeze, or have any other worrying symptoms, get medical help right away. Please talk to a pulmonologist to diagnose and treat any problems related to aspiration.

Chest pain, fatigue ECG is normal, echo test is normal, blood test is normal but chest xray is foggy appearnce and black dot is present in left side of the lungs
Male | 60
Your health tests came back normal which is good. However, the strange spots on the x-ray raise some concern. Those might show an infection like pneumonia. Antibiotics can help treat that condition. Do visit your pulmonologist again for more tests and proper treatment.

I am looking after my dad that has end of life copd.hes not eating much very weak talks in his sleep and fidgety and is getting withdrawn from peopl
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.

I have had a low-grade fever on and off for about 6 days, cough with blood in mucus sometimes, although it may be blood from my nosebleed, and sore throat what could be the cause?
Male | 20
You might have a chest cold. That makes you cough and feel hot. The red stuff from your nose or throat could be from bleeding. But you should go to a pulmonologist to check. Be sure to drink a lot of water and juice. And rest as much as you can. Use a humidifier too. It puts water in the air so your throat does not get dry.

I have Cough cold and fiver last 1 day some headache and feeling fatigue
Female | 49
You have recently caught a cold. Infections can lead to tiredness, headaches, and even fever as a result of a virus, such as the one that causes colds. To recover from your illness, you should mainly rest, drink a lot of fluids, and perhaps use some over-the-counter medications to ease your symptoms.

you should see a respiratory specialist. A chronic cough or khasi for more than four weeks can signify an underlying respiratory disease like asthma, bronchitis and even tuberculosis.

These symptoms could be respiratory infection, bronchitis, pneumonia, or other conditions. It's possible that the initial treatment may not have fully resolved the underlying issue, or there may be another cause for your symptoms that requires further investigation. Check with your pulmonologist.

What are the diseases that mimicks tb?
Male | 45
Several diseases can have symptoms that resemble tuberculosis, making diagnosis more challenging. Some conditions that mimic TB include non tuberculous mycobacterial infections, fungal infections, pneumonia, lung cancer, and sarcoidosis. These diseases can cause respiratory symptoms similar to Tb, such as cough, fever, and chest pain..

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.

I am 17 year old female, I had a common cold that started with sore throat week ago and now I don't have a cold anymore, I didn't have cough during the cold (my throat was sore for the first 2 days but then on third day my nose started to be stuffy and I didn't have sore throat or cough at all). But like 2 days ago I started to feel not pain, but like weird sensation in area of bronchi, but its not pain, just like a sensation I feel when I breathe. Its not all the time but I noticed it. I don't have cough, or any other symptoms and my cold is like 90% gone at this point, but I don't know what that sensation might come from and I don't think its bronchitidis since I dont cough, I dont have fever, and I feel generally good, just sometimes when I breathe I feel that sensation in area of bronchi as I mentioned and it doesnt make me cough, just like sometimes to slightly make that cough sound but its not cough if you know what I mean. What could be the cause and how can I get rid of it? Also, I dont know if its going to help but I sleep on my left side every night and lately I think it caused me a bit of pain in shoulder/upper chest area from being in that position all night long. So perhaps could It be caused my some pulled muscle or something from sleeping in wrong position ? Thank you for your answer.
Female | 17
Your case seems like a typical cold getting better. The breathing issue near the bronchi may come from inflammation after the cold. Sleeping on the left side likely caused muscle discomfort in the shoulder and chest regions. Rest up, drink lots of fluids, and practice good posture to ease muscle pain. However, if bronchial sensation persists after a few days, see a pulmonologist just to be safe. Get well soon!

It looks like your sister has started to feel a little strange after having a bronchoscopy done which is a procedure used for checking the airways in the lungs. The prickling sensations, red hands, and other things might mean that the nerves are getting pinched or there is swelling somewhere. She needs to see a pulmonologist so they can find out what’s wrong with her. They might have some tests done or give her some medicine for it depending on how bad off she is.

You may have respiratory infections. They make people get fevers, pains in joints, breathing hard, and coughing up whitish mucus. Viruses or bacteria usually give folks those symptoms. To feel better, rest up a lot, drink tons of fluids, and maybe see a pulmonologist to know more and get treated.
