Why am I still coughing with lung infection medicines?
I am 23 years old. I’ve been coughing for the last 3 weeks. Got consulted from doctor last week, diagnosed lung infection. All medications are finished include antibiotics. Currently didn’t take any medication and still coughing. Other symptoms, chest pain and fast breathing.
Pulmonologist
Answered on 25th May '24
Based on what you’ve said, your persistent coughing, chest pain, and rapid breathing could point toward a long-term lung infection. In some cases, infections can still linger even after the antibiotics course is completed. Therefore, my advice is that you return to your pulmonologist for a check-up to ensure everything is fine and seek additional treatment if necessary.

Consult a pulmonologist to check your symptoms, or a gastroenterologist since you were facing antral gastritis. Your chest pain could be something related to antral gastritis.

my name is nikhil my age is 20 I have fever and cough I am having fever day and night since last 3 days. I have squinted in the rain many times
Male | 20
Fever and cough are typically part of the body's natural defense against infection. When you get wet in the rain, your body gets cold, which makes it a lot easier to catch a cold. Keep it warm, drink a lot of fluids, get some rest, and you can also take some over-the-counter fever medicine if you like. If your symptoms become more severe or worsen, visit a doctor.

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.

My mother has sarcoidosis fibrotic ILD patient.last night her oxygen saturation 87 to 90. But physically she is normal .plz suggest what should i do.
Female | 66
The scarred and stiff lung tissue in sarcoidosis fibrotic ILD makes it hard for air to get in. If her oxygen level drops below normal, she does not have enough oxygen in her body. It can be really bad. Even if she seems fine, low oxygen can hurt her. Assure that her doctor’s instructions for using oxygen are strictly followed. In case there is no improvement, call for emergency medical services immediately.

Iam 18 years old Im suffering from cough from 7 days. my father prescribed me Azithromycin 500 mg. Actually my father is not a doctor but having some medication knowledge. Is it ok to take Azithromycin 500 mg ??
Male | 18
Perhaps a cold or allergies trigger the cough that has been there for 7 days. Azithromycin 500 mg is an antibiotic that can help if your cough is a result of a bacterial infection. Nonetheless, it's important to get a pulmonologist's examination to find out the exact cause of your cough before taking medication to take precautions before it occurs again.

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.

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.

Swas lene me problem ho rahi enxity bhi ho rahi hai pain ho raha hai breath
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.

Hello doctor I am 21 year old male I am suffering from irritation in back of my throat and mild whizzing sound when I exhale forcefully, it usually happens at night, and I previously experienced 3,4 times shortness of breath and excess mucus when I inhale smoke or dust accidentally. what is the problem?? Please reply
Male | 21
Asthma symptoms can involve throat irritation, wheezing, shortness of breath, and excess mucus - especially when exposed to smoke or dust. Asthma is an airway issue where inflammation and narrowing happen. This makes breathing harder. It's crucial you see a doctor to get properly diagnosed and a treatment plan outlined. This may involve medications like inhalers that help manage symptoms and prevent asthma attacks from occurring. Your description sounds like you might be experiencing asthma, so getting it checked out by a pulmonologist is important.

I have difficult in breathing having numbness I have done X-ray covid 19 and blood test but nothing can be seen I carried a baby weight is 10 kg for 4 hours could it be the problem
Female | 25
Breathing issues wouldn't be possible because you carried a baby for long. Although it can cause muscle straing or fatigue. Check with a pulmonologist or a physician for a thorough evaluation.

Coughing blood happens due to lung issues. Lung infections or airway irritation might cause this. See a doctor if you have fever, chest pain, or breathing troubles too. The treatment depends on the reason causing it. So, get proper tests to find out what's causing your bloody cough. It's important to check with a pulmonologist.

I have been diagnosed with bronchitis and on a week course of antibiotics but my chronic cough has not improved and I have been vomiting and shortness of breath when walking and feeling very tired and body aches and headaches
Female | 26
Something seems wrong—your symptoms like vomiting, breathing trouble, exhaustion, aches, and headaches suggest the bronchitis worsened. The infection possibly spread. That's serious, you really should see a doctor urgently. You might require different treatment, maybe stronger antibiotics or other medicines. Delaying medical attention would be unwise.

I am a 20 year old male who has been having chest pains for the past week. They have come and go and spread through my chest and shoulders to my back. They are typically sharp or dull and can occur when I take a deep breath but feel better while I exercise. I had this before and had two x rays in the past and an x ray today to check if there was anything wrong with my lungs and evertime, my doctors assured me I am fine. I heard that x rays can miss lung cancer.
Male | 20
X-rays are generally effective in detecting lung conditions, but they may not always identify all potential issues, and early stages lung cancer. However it's important to note that chest pain can have various causes, and lung cancer is relatively rare, especially in young individuals. Consider discussing your concerns with your doctor who can evaluate your symptoms and recommend further tests or referrals to address your chest pains. They are in the best position to provide appropriate guidance based on your individual situation.

Remedy for severe asthmatic attack
Female | 38
Feeling an asthma attack is frightening. Your breaths shorten, wheezing comes, coughing increases, tightness squeezes your chest. Airways swell, becoming narrow during attacks. To ease severe attacks: inhale from a rescue inhaler, sit upright, stay calm. If symptoms don't improve quickly, seek emergency care immediately.

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).

Breathing problems since 3-4 days only in night
Female | 20
Many people struggle with breathing issues at night. Nighttime breathing troubles arise from various causes. Common reasons include allergies, asthma, or a room filled with dust. Coughing, wheezing, and feeling short of breath often occur. To improve air quality, keep your bedroom clean and dust-free. Using an air purifier can also help. However, if problems persist, see a pulmonologist without delay. They can evaluate your condition and provide appropriate treatment.
