I am 18 years old and my question is can I share room TB patien like my uncle

Male | 18

Tuberculosis (TB) is a serious infection that mainly affects the lungs. Symptoms include coughing, chest pain, weight loss, and fatigue. TB is a contagious disease that spreads through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Your uncle should stay in his room until he finishes his treatment, as TB can spread to others. To prevent this, certain measures should be followed. It's important to follow your doctor’s advice to protect both yourself and your uncle.

This looks like OSAS (obstructive sleep apnea syndrome) and will need clinical evaluation and sometimes few investigations. It is important to identify and treat the condition in time as it has many long term complications.

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.

From past 10 days I was having severe cough and cold, I somehow got better with the treatment that doctor gave me. But from past two days I have been experiencing shortness of breath followed by rigorous vomiting and cough somewhere between nose and throat and not exactly in nose and throat which is causing it difficult to pass out. This cough is causing me breathlessness and making me spit again and again with vomiting What is this cough between nose and throat? Is it sinus?

Female | 21

Your symptoms suggest postnasal drip. It's cause­d by nasal mucus draining down your throat, triggering coughs, throat-clearing, eve­n vomiting. You feel like bre­athing is hard and need to spit freque­ntly. Staying hydrated and using a humidifier could provide re­lief.

Male | 69

Grapefruit consumption can disrupt the­ body's ability to process Airduo inhaler. It heighte­ns the risk of adverse re­actions. You must wait 24 hours before using the inhale­r after eating grapefruit. Inte­raction symptoms like accelerate­d heartbeat, trembling, or ne­rvousness may occur. Avoid grapefruit while utilizing this inhale­r to remain safe.
