Hello, I am 30 years old. I have shortness of breath in the bronchi. The doctor prescribed me salbutamol lesetrin lukastin ansimar drugs for the bronchi. Can I masturbate while using these drugs?
Kişi | 30
Short breath in the air tubes can come from things like asthma or lung illness. The meds your doc gave you, like salbutamol, lesetrin, lukastin, and ansimar, help open up the air tubes and cut swelling. Touching yourself likely won't impact your issue or how well the meds work. Just follow what your doctor says and take the meds as told.

Hi, I have put aquaphor in my nose for 2 years every night. I have recently stopped but wanted to know if I have it in my lungs i am really worried about it.
Female | 17
Aquaphor should not be your only treatment for nose dryness as it is not intended for long-term use. If you had it in your lungs, you could have a cough, shortness of breath, or pain in your chest. If you notice any of these symptoms, it is wise to visit a pulmonologist. They will be able to check your lungs and give you the correct treatment.

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.

Female | 23
It sounds like you're experiencing significant distress both mentally and physically. Since you're facing shortness of breath and dizziness along with mental health struggles, it's essential to seek medical help promptly. 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.

Flu , cold and temperature
Male | 4
The effects of flu, cold, and temperature elevations are common in winter. These symptoms are basically due to viral occasions and hence, they can be treated through the use of over-the-counter drugs and rest. See a general physician or a pulmonologist as this would be the best option.

I inhaled One of those small dots that come from Fire that fly, i dont know how they're called, there Is no Pain, i wanna know if i'll be ok
Male | 13
Small fire dots are known as ember particles. If inhaled, no pain suggests safety. However, irritation or coughing may occur. Drink water, and cough gently for discomfort relief. Seek medical help if breathing difficulties or chest pain arise. For now, you're likely okay.

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.

I have fever from last 3 days and headache and cough
Female | 30
A viral infection could explain your fever, headache, and cough. Fevers help fight infections. Headaches and coughs often come with viruses too. Rest up and drink lots of fluids. Acetaminophen can ease fever and headache pain. But if symptoms linger or worsen, see a pulmonologist promptly.

Sir, my ESR is 64 or there is infection in the right region in the x-ray, do I have TB? And I am on antibiotics (IV Fluid) but the infection has still not gone down, so what should I do next?
Female | 23
You expressed worry about tuberculosis. TB affects blood test results like ESR, causing high readings. It creates infections visible on X-rays too. However, these signs are not exclusive to TB. Various infections or diseases produce similar effects. The antibiotics not clearing the infection is concerning. It suggests the need for different medication or further tests. Finding the root cause is vital.

My daughter has had a pretty bad cough since Wednesday. We know it’s bronchitis, but we need some over-the-counter medicine for her to take. Do you have any recommendations?
Female | 13
if this is bronchitis, the problem is that there may be some swelling inside her lungs’ airways. It causes coughing, mucus and sometimes fever too. Give her lots of water to drink and let her have enough bed rest. Additionally, consider buying an OTC cough syrup with dextromethorphan for her. This will relieve the irritation in the throat making the cough less frequent and more productive. Do not exceed the recommended dose on the label without consulting a doctor or pharmacist first.

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.

Fever and cough since 2days
Male | 23
If you've got a fever and cough lasting 2 days, chances are it's due to a viral infection. Your body increases temperature to fight off the virus internally. Resting up, staying hydrated, and taking acetaminophen eases symptoms. However, worsening issues or breathing troubles require prompt medical attention.

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 had cancer with a thymoma gland - and it was removed by surgery - and I received 3 doses of chemotherapy protocol V I B - then a small tumor appeared in the right lung - and I took 3 sessions of radiation therapy - then the size of the tumor in the right lung increased to 14 cm - and I took 6 chemotherapy sessions (ganzara). Please, can I find a suitable treatment for you, please?
Male | 31
Lung metastases from cancer can result in cough, dyspnea, and chest pain. The therapy you underwent has been difficult, but it is worrying that the tumor in your right lung has increased so much. In this context, further investigation and possibly intervention such as surgery, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy might be the next step. It is crucial to consult your doctor about your case to determine the optimal path.

Male | 24
Your packed cell volume (PCV) of 43% is within the normal range for most adults. Shortness of breath and difficulty swallowing saliva can be caused by various conditions unrelated to your PCV level. It’s important to consult a pulmonologist for your breathing issues and a gastroenterologist for your swallowing difficulties to get a proper diagnosis and treatment.

I am 28 years old i am Moderate MR patient i am facing difficulty in breathing nowadays
Female | 28
With Moderate MR, the heart may very well be malfunctioning which is why your body has a difficult time getting the required oxygen. This might make you want to breathe faster, and you end up getting dizzy. You need to alert your doctor of the problem now so that your doctor can check you out and give you more effective medicine if it is necessary.

Male | 58
An HRCT scan, recommended by your doctor, allows them to view your body and identify the possible cause of your shortness of breath. This scan can reveal issues like infections, inflammation, or lung scars. Based on the results, your doctor will suggest the most suitable treatment, such as medications or other therapies.
