The symptoms you mentioned, such as hoarseness, difficulty speaking, and ear pain, could be post-viral laryngitis. It is one of the possible post-viral complications following a viral infection like COVID. Make sure to rest your voice, drink plenty of fluids, and steer clear of irritants such as smoking. If the symptoms do not go away, it is a good idea to visit an ENT specialist for a more detailed examination and treatment.

I'm having cough especially while sleeping it gets more it never leaves to sleep
Female | 30
Night-time coughing can disturb your sleep. It might be caused by irritants in the air or conditions like post-nasal drip or acid reflux. Either way, it’s frustrating! You can try propping your head up while you sleep, and a humidifier might help, too. Staying hydrated is also a good idea. However, if the coughing doesn’t go away, talk to a pulmonologist about it.

My name is Amal 31 years old. I have some breathing problem and using Serflo 125 synchrobreathe. now in heavy rain i have cold and cough please suggest best medicine for nebulizer
Male | 31
Serflo 125 synchrobreathe is good but you need something more. You may want to try using Budecort respules with your nebulizer. These will help reduce any swelling inside your air passages which should make them wider and easier to breathe through. Do not forget about following the prescribed dosage exactly as instructed. But do visit your doctor before starting the medication.

Please am having shortness of breath sometimes and I have problem sometimes to swallow my own saliva my saliva try up sometimes. I went to go do PCV test and it’s show my blood level is 43 Is that too much and can that be the reason for all this that am feeling because I went yo do echo test and I was told my heath is ok Can 43 packed cell volume normal cause all this please I need answer maybe if I can go donate
Male | 24
Your packed cell volume (PCV) of 43% is within the normal range for most adults. Shortness of breath and difficulty swallowing saliva can be caused by various conditions unrelated to your PCV level. It’s important to consult a pulmonologist for your breathing issues and a gastroenterologist for your swallowing difficulties to get a proper diagnosis and treatment.

This question is about my mother, 60 years old, with influenza type A that unfortunately led to viral pneumonia. She's hospitalized for the past 4 days, her flu seems to be subsiding, but the pneumonia is not. I am worried and I just wanted to know if she's gonna be alright doctor.
Female | 60
Viral pneumonia takes longer to get better compared to the flu. I’m glad that she is recovering from the flu. Symptoms of pneumonia include difficulty breathing, productive cough, and chest pain. To cure the infection, antibiotics will be administered among other drugs. She needs to have enough rest and time too. Therefore, follow the doctors’ instructions and be patient with her.

allergy triggers by the start of oct and lasts for 1-2 months(pollution period). Is there a cure for it and who should I consult?
Male | 28
In October, if there are allergies that last for a period of 1 to 2 months, they may be caused by the pollen or the mold. Sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes are the typical signs of this. Go see an allergist to find the cure. They may also prescribe nasal sprays or antihistamines as treatments. It is best to avoid triggers by keeping the windows closed.

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
Taking the meds your doctor gave for breathing trouble and allergies is key for managing symptoms. About your question on self-pleasure, it doesn't affect those meds or hurt your air tubes. Self-pleasure is normal and doesn't damage the lungs. Follow your doctor's advice and take meds as instructed. If worried about your health, talk openly with a pulmonologist.

I’m 18 years old my name is Paris Luna I have so much pain yesterday at 2am I had it so bad it didn’t go away every time I tried breathing it hurt so much I took ibuprofen it wasn’t working every time I eat in the next 5 minutes it starts hurting a lot and it doesn’t go away I have pain right now
Female | 18
If you're feeling chest pain that worsens when you eat, it might be related to your stomach or digestion, possibly heartburn. Eating smaller meals and avoiding spicy or greasy foods can help. Stay hydrated and avoid lying down right after eating. If the pain continues, it's best to see a pulmonologist for a check-up.

I have felt little bit breathing problem from last 4 years but from last March it was so suffocated then i took medicine and feeling better. But from last 3 days I felt chest discomfort, breathing problem and yawning.
Female | 24
Pain in the chest, difficulty in breathing, and constant yawning can be the cause of concern. These might be the result of a number of things, for instance, asthma, anxiety, or even anemia. It is crucial to ensure that your lungs are getting enough oxygen. If you have these symptoms, seek medical advice from a cardiologist for a proper diagnosis.

Difficulty in breathing while walking eating,working.Taking deep breaths frequently, also nasal blockage
Male | 23
You're struggling to breathe properly, needing deep breaths frequently, especially during activity, meals, or work. A blocked nose can also make breathing difficult. Allergies, asthma, or respiratory infections could cause these symptoms. To help, try using a humidifier, avoiding dust or pet dander triggers, and keeping your nose clear with saline sprays. However, if these don't improve things, consulting a pulmonologist is crucial for personalized advice addressing your specific condition.

My lungs crackling only for 2-3 min, before 1 month i had dry cough and cold
Female | 22
If you’ve had a dry cough and cold recently, it seems like you might have some crackling in your lungs. This is normal. The sound could mean there is still mucus present. To remedy the situation, drink more water and practice breathing exercises. If it persists or worsens, take time off work so your body can recover.
