Answered on 23rd May '24

Chest TB is caused by bacteria that infect the lungs, leading to severe coughing and body pain. Recovery usually takes a few months with proper medication. It's crucial to take the medicines prescribed by your doctor every day for at least 6 months. Ensure you rest, eat well, and avoid close contact with others as TB is contagious. For the best care, please visit a pulmonologist.

Hi doctor, Yesterday i spent around 35 minutes sitting and talking to a MDR TB patient who has been taking medications for 5 months. I am worried about exposure. Pls guide me.

Female | 19

Hanging around some­one with MDR TB can understandably be unne­rving. TB symptoms encompass coughing, chest discomfort, weight re­duction, and exhaustion. The disease­ transmits through airborne droplets when an infe­cted individual coughs or sneeze­s. To play it safe, schedule an appointme­nt with your doctor for a TB te­st. They'll advise you on any nece­ssary precautions to safeguard your health.

I am a 15 year old male and have been feeling out of breath for the past 4-5 days on and off. Without any coughing but have also had hiccups and slight heart burn like pains

Male | 15

These might be signs of acid reflux, which occurs when stomach acid flows back into the tube that carries food from your mouth to your stomach. To alleviate these symptoms, try eating smaller meals, staying away from spicy foods, and not lying down immediately after eating. Drinking water might also help. However, if they persist, it would be best to consult with a doctor.

Female | 31

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 was wondering I have been having shortness of breath and coughing up tiniest bit of blood and light yellow phlegm and it stinks

Female | 17

These symptoms, along with yellow phlegm with a foul smell, could indicate a lung infection or pneumonia. Both viruses and bacteria can cause these issues. It's crucial to see a doctor quickly for a proper diagnosis and treatment. They can prescribe the right medication, likely antibiotics, to combat the infection.

Hello, good day. I have shortness of breath in the bronchi. My doctor prescribed me the inhaler Salbutamol and the tablet medicine allergy lesetrin lukastin ansimar. How long after using the inhaler can I drink these tablets? Is it harmful to use these medicines with an interval of 1 hour. Or how long between medicines? must be time.?

Kişi | 30

Asthma or allergies can be a cause of this. To open the airways quickly, Salbutamol inhalers play an important role. On the other hand, Leukotriene Modifiers such as Montelukast take longer working time as they reduce inflammation gradually over the airway passages. No problem if combined use is considered safe by the doctor. Both drugs follow medical prescriptions strictly.

Female | 22

These might be symptoms of asthma. Someone with asthma may find it difficult to breathe properly and they can also get chest pains. One needs to keep calm, sit upright, and use any prescribed inhalers if they have any. A person should also try to stay away from anything that might trigger an attack such as smoke or allergens. They can take warm drinks which will help them relax. If these signs continue or become worse then they need immediate medical attention.

Shortness of breath whenever coughing Dry cough Fever immediately after cough Cough not constant Cough comes and go

Male | 35

If you start to cough, become breathless soon after, and get a fever with a dry cough, that might be the reason for lung infections like pneumonia. The cough might happen periodically. These germs such as bacteria and viruses are to blame for it. Taking rest, drinking enough fluids, and talking to a doctor for help are the treatment steps which can include antibiotics if it is bacterial. Be sure to get a lot of rest and drink plenty of fluids.
