My name is Amal 31 years old. I have some breathing problem and using Serflo 125 synchrobreathe. now in heavy rain i have cold and cough please suggest best medicine for nebulizer

Male | 31

Serflo 125 synchrobreathe is good but you need something more. You may want to try using Budecort respules with your nebulizer. These will help reduce any swelling inside your air passages which should make them wider and easier to breathe through. Do not forget about following the prescribed dosage exactly as instructed. But do visit your doctor before starting the medication.

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.

Anxiety late night asthama attack

Female | 14

Late-night asthma attacks triggered by anxiety are not uncommon. When anxiety strikes, your body can react in unusual ways, leading to respiratory issues. Asthma symptoms can worsen, making it difficult to breathe. You might experience wheezing, persistent coughing, and a tight feeling in your chest. To manage anxiety, try calming techniques like deep breathing exercises or mindfulness meditation.

I have been getting sick with sore throat and lungs congestion for a long time now. Every month, at least two trips to the clinic with antibiotics is a must. I suspect that my asthmatic and wheezing, coughing, congestion, sinus, tonsillitis, and inflammation might br caused by mold in my home and office. How can I ask my doctor here in clinic to test my blood for the mold toxicity?

Female | 24

Mold can grow in damp areas, releasing spores that may cause illness. If you suspect mold exposure, you can ask your doctor for a blood test by saying, "I'm worried that mold at home or work may be causing my symptoms. Could we check for mold toxicity in my blood?" This test can help determine if mold is behind your health issues. In addition to treating any symptoms, it’s important to address the mold sources at home and work to improve your air quality.

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.

i am a 16 year old female. i suffer from breathing difficulties that only occur at night. it has been happening the past couple of nights. i vape. i possibly have anxiety.

Female | 16

In case you vape and feel nervous, this might be the thing that is exacerbating your distress. Vaping injures the lungs and causes breathing problems. Anxiety may also bring about a rare situation where one finds it hard to breathe. As an alternative try to keep away from as often as possible and have deep breath exercises to calm anxiety or chat with someone. If it keeps up make sure you obtain help from a healthcare professional.

I am having cough which looks more allergic. And phlegm and wheezing sound only appears when I coughs. It's like someone is choking you when you have the cough. It really hurts my throat and head while coughing. And sometimes maybe due to my panic, cough results in cough syncope. I also have antral gastritis. I have been diagnosed with bronchitis 6 months back. My chest Xray shows only small prominence in right lungs and rest is normal. CT is normal, XRay is normal. Only my TLC count is elavated to 17000 and however eosphil and basophil count is normal. I am slightly anemic. According to my doc, my body is unable to absorb iron. My O2 and BP all are normal during my cough episode. However, I feel tremor throughout my body and sometimes my hands and legs become pale while I cough. I am perfectly normal if I don't have the cough episodes. I also has slight GERD maybe due to antral gastritis.

I'm 19 years old female I'm facing when season change make breathing start fast and breathing makes noise and I'm get breathless while walking... I have allergy

Female | 19

Maybe you are an asthma patient. The changing seasons can be the reason for the asthma symptoms intensified by pollen. Various symptoms are observed such as shortness of breath, wheezing, and feeling of being out of breath. The underlying cause is the body's hypersensitivity to certain substances known as allergens. The treatment is to utilize a doctor-prescribed inhaler can assist in more effective breathing. Dust and pollen are some triggers that should be avoided.

Do you think i have covid? I have shortness of breath, a very sore throat, muscle pains, conjestion and dizziness

Female | 15

You may feel short of breath and have a sore throat that makes swallowing difficult. Your muscles might ache, and you could experience congestion in your sinuses. You may also feel dizzy as if your head is spinning. These signs may indicate a COVID-19 infection, as the virus can cause these symptoms. To aid recovery, make sure to rest and drink plenty of fluids. It’s important to isolate yourself from others to avoid spreading the illness. Be sure to contact your doctor about these symptoms.

My CT Scan report. Area of ground glass opacification is seen in the right lower lobe. A tiny subpleural nodule is seen in the right lung on image #4-46. What meant by it in easy and understandable words

Male | 32

Based on the CT scan report, here are a couple of findings:

Ground glass opacification in the right lower lobe: This refers to an area in the lung that appears hazy or cloudy on the CT scan. It can indicate various conditions, such as inflammation, infection, or early stages of lung disease.

Subpleural nodule in the right lung: This refers to a small abnormality or growth detected in the right lung, near the outer lining of the lung. The exact nature of the nodule would need further evaluation to determine if it is benign (non-cancerous) or potentially malignant (cancerous).
