Answered on 12th Aug '24
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.

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.

Female | 25
You have a wet cough with yellow-green mucus and a stuffy nose, but no sore throat, correct? This could be a respiratory infection like a cold. The mucus color shows your body is fighting an infection. Drink lots of fluids. Get plenty of rest. Keep taking Montek LC. If symptoms persist or worsen, see a pulmonologist.

I have blood in my cough
Male | 33
The appearance of blood in your cough is a symptom of some process in the body. For example, it might be the case of a respiratory infection, tuberculosis, lung cancer or, it might even be the case of just a small irritation in your throat. You should not hesitate to consult a pulmonologist who will be able to determine the problem and prescribe an appropriate treatment.

Sore throat with phlegm. Sometimes uneasiness in breathing ie near throat
Male | 21
These symptoms are usually due to a common cold or throat infection. Your body is trying to defend itself by removing the pathogens. Sipping warm liquids, resting, and using a humidifier can help you feel better. If the symptoms worsen or last too long, see a pulmonologist for proper treatment.

I am a 47 year old male i had post thyroidectomy and recently got a CT scan and it shows subcentrimetric nodules scattered in the lungs so what does that mean
Male | 47
Following your thyroid surgery and the CT scan, some small nodules were spotted in your lungs. These are very common little growths that hardly ever have any symptoms attached to them. They could have been caused by many things such as infections or past illnesses. In most cases, no action needs to be taken concerning these growths but you need to keep visiting a doctor to check up on them frequently. If you start feeling unusual in any way like continuous coughing or struggling to breathe, please inform your physician immediately.

Sidi per chadhte hue sans phoolta hai
Male | 39
Asthma is a condition where your lungs tighten, making it difficult to breathe normally. You might feel like you can't take a full breath because your airways narrow. An inhaler, prescribed by your doctor, contains medicine to help open those airways. It's important to keep your inhaler close and use it when your asthma flares up. Properly managing your asthma keeps you safe and healthy.

1. Cough (2 days) 2. Has mucus ( i feel like iron inside my throat) 3. I cough blood start this morning
Female | 17
It seems like you are having some problems that require attention. The mucus that accompanies a continuous cough and the presence of blood are indications of various things, like the irritation of the upper respiratory tract or an infection. It is crucial to watch your symptoms and your general health very closely. Water is best for staying hydrated and a humidifier can be used to minimize discomfort in the throat. But the bleeding in your cough is why the first medical visit is a must. Consult a pulmonologist for proper treatment advice.

What happens if I marry a girl with asthma?
Male | 28
Marrying someone with asthma can be a loving and supportive experience. Asthma is often characterized by breathlessness, wheezing, or tightness in the chest, typically triggered by allergens, exercise, or respiratory infections. Having asthma under control is essential; medications and lifestyle adjustments can significantly improve quality of life. Encouraging your partner to follow a treatment plan, avoid triggers, and maintain regular check-ups with a healthcare provider can be beneficial. Open communication about their condition fosters understanding and helps manage potential challenges.

Fever, cough, headache and running nose
Male | 29
The fever is your body signaling you are sick, and the cough and nasal congestion are two signs of your respiratory system being affected. Drink a lot of fluids, rest well and if you feel you can take some over-the-counter medicines to help you feel better. Most of these cases just pass by themselves, but in case the opposite happens or if the discomfort lasts, go ask a pulmonologist for advice. They must carry out a more detailed assessment and apply the correct treatment.

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.

I want to know about the TB
Female | 55
TB, a common shorthand term for tuberculosis, is a life-threatening disease caused by bacteria that mainly affect the lungs. Humans with TB might experience, amongst others, the following peculiar signs: prolonged cough, chest pain, losing weight, and fatigue. The transmission occurs when a TB patient coughs or sneezes with a built-in airway and thus spreads the bacteria from person to person.

Irregular Fever and tonsilitis dry cough and fever feels at nighttime and in day whenever I used to sleep
Male | 21
It appears that tonsillitis with a dry cough and irregular fever which worsens at night might be the issue at hand. Tonsillitis often brings about a throat ache and enlarged tonsils. The fever could be a result of an infection. It is advisable to take a lot of fluids and soft foods as well as resting. Gargling using warm salt water helps to reduce the pain in the throat. If the symptoms persist, visit a pulmonologist.

Hi. I have bad chest infection there pure green stuff coming up all the time with very bad taste to my mouth and head .. I am on tablets 3 days for this but I feel there no end to the chest infection and the green stuff that is coming up I am 43 years male and I take to inhalers aday I feel like it’s lying in my wind pipe at times
Male | 43
It seems you develop a very substantial respiratory infection and you have green-colored phlegm discharge, almost always suggesting that ongoing infection is present. Even though drugs usually need time to start working, the symptoms that persist might be serious. Viscid or molasses-like mucus, which is hard to breathe in and is very uncomfortable as well, you should be properly hydrated; if necessary, a humidifier can help breathing. When in the next few days the symptoms of the condition do not reduce, or you, on the contrary, feel yourself worse, please see the pulmonologist.

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.

Problem of short breathness,
Male | Srinibash roy
Dyspnea can be caused by various factors such as anxiety, asthma, allergies, or an underlying heart or lung disease. Some of the more ordinary indications may be a feeling of contraction in your chest, a fast heartbeat, and a feeling as if you can't get enough air. It's very important to get to the heart of the matter. Simply trying out activities such as deep breathing exercises or keeping yourself in a state of calm and maintaining good body posture can help. Nevertheless, I suggest you consult a gynecologist to make a thorough check-up and offer you the help you need.
