Answered on 29th Aug '24
When you show symptoms such as a fever, cough, and CRP levels that are too high, it might mean there is a serious infection in your body. The high platelet count may also be a sign of inflammation. It's vital to stick strictly to your doctor's instructions since they are most probably dealing with an infection at the moment. Keep them updated on any shifts in your symptoms, or if you're feeling worse. Rest, drink a lot of water, and take the medications as prescribed. If you see any signs of your symptoms worsening, contact a pulmonologist immediately.

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.

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.

Chronic coughing over extended periods and dark phlegm need medical attention to identify their causes which can be chronic bronchitis or lung cancer. A prompt visit to pulmonologist is strongly suggestable in case one experiences such severe symptoms. In a timely manner, treatment and help can be effective and bring about better results as well as enhanced qualities of life.

The tests show you may have a sickness. Your body is fighting it. The TB medicine is helping, but sicknesses can take time to go away. Keep taking your medicine like the doctor said. Tell the doctor if you feel new things. Stay hopeful! Follow what the doctor says.

Recently I have been diagnosed with pleural thickening RT CP in x-ray
Male | 25
Pleural fibrosis results in thickening of the lungs lining and further development of breath problems and other symptoms. It may occur as a result of several different things like being exposed to asbestos or being infected by a certain bacterium or virus. I will recommend you see a pulmonodigist who can assess the exact condition and recommend a proper treatment plan.

Male | 14
When you lay on your chest and it feels hard to get air in, that could be from anxiety. Anxiety also makes it difficult for people to sleep well at night. You can learn how to control your breathing when talking about it with them and other ways of calming down too if they know about it. Try doing things before going to bed like making a routine so that every time before sleep you will make sure that you get into bed more easily also practice good habits around sleep like not watching any screens an hour before bedtime because they keep awake longer which means fewer hours spent resting. If these symptoms stay or get worse then maybe it's time to see the doctor and tell them what’s been happening.

Been having a cough for 2 weeks finished my antibiotics I do vape
Female | 21
A respiratory specialist or pulmonologist might be the one to consult given a persistent cough for the past 14 days after you have completed the course of antibiotics. Vaping can aggravate the airways and increase respiratory problems; hence the doctors must do a thorough evaluation to put the conditions right.

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.

Male | 83
Extreme fatigue and loss of appetite could be caused by COPD. Sometimes people may talk while asleep, be restless, or become unresponsive during this period. This means that the body is extremely weak. Right now, what is most important is to make sure he is relaxed all the time, don’t force him to eat too much but give him small amounts of food often.

i'm been detect have influenza. Tamiflu are no longer have used to me. May i know any other medicine or option that can reduce the effect of influenza?
Male | 27
The flu is caused by a virus, not bacteria. It can make you feel sick with symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, and body aches. Since taking Tamiflu is not in the picture anymore, it is vital that you take good rest, drink lots of water, and take pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen to help get rid of the symptoms. These help to relieve illness and severe pain. Make sure to stay at home and avoid infecting other people with flu.

I have lung infection which is caused by klebseilla pneumonia.. I found it a month ago! I have been taking medications my wheezing has stopped lately but i am having severe back pain and difficulty in swalloing food. Are these due to the same infection?
Female | 19
The severe hurt in your back and the trouble to swallow food may be from the infection in the lungs caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae. Sometimes, this infectious microorganism can circulate to other locations justifying the appearance of brand-new symptoms. The back pain might be a result of an inflammation, while the timing issue could be caused by throat irritation. Discussing these new symptoms with a pulmonologist is the first step to getting a suitable treatment.

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.

Male | 71
Your symptoms indicate a possible prostate malfunction. The 45% damage to your lung tissue might be causing your breathing issues. Lung infections can result from various causes, such as cough, fever, and difficulty breathing, and can be caused by viruses, bacteria, or fungi. It's essential to take medications for the lung infection: antibiotics for bacterial infections, antivirals for viral infections, and antifungals for fungal infections. Additionally, breathing exercises and treatments like inhalers may help improve your breathing. Get advice from a pulmonologist.

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.
Female | 23
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.

Hello, good day. I have shortness of breath in the bronchi. The doctor prescribed me Salbutamol inhaler, lesetrin lukastin, bronchodilator Ansimar for allergies. I used these drugs yesterday. I masturbated today. Does masturbation affect these drugs? Does masturbation damage the bronchi?
Kişi | 30
Breathing difficulties involving your airways might stem from diverse factors like asthma or allergens. The drugs you referenced aim to address such conditions. Self-gratification won't influence these medications' efficacy or harm your bronchial tubes. However, if shortness of breath persists, consult a pulmonologist for further assessment.
