I've been coughing for more than 3 weeks and sometimes I find it hard to breathe
Female | 22
It seems like you’re having a hard time. Not being able to breathe well and coughing for more than 3 weeks is strange. A bad cold or even asthma can cause these problems. But it could also mean that there’s something wrong with your lungs. If you don’t take care of it right away, then you might have even more trouble later on. Usually, you’ll need drugs that help you breathe better and cure any infection. So I think seeing a pulmonologist as soon as possible would be the best thing to do.

Asthma Hai balgam nahi nikalta chest me khasi ke samay dard hai
Male | 44
Asthma has different forms, one is cough-variant. With this type, you cough but no phlegm comes up. It makes your chest feel tight. Coughing causes pain. Allergies or exercise often trigger it. Inhalers prescribed by doctors help manage symptoms. See a pulmonologist if you experience this.

you should see a pulmonologist to conduct tests for breathing problems. Also, you need to consult the gastroenterologist to assess your abdominal distension. Other consultations with a rheumatologist may also be necessary for your swollen fingers.

Hi I have asthma and i have been quite breathless tonight could you help please
Female | 29
Asthma inflames and narrows airways, making breathing difficult. Use your inhaler as directed. Sit straight and breathe slowly, deeply. If still struggling, seek medical help or go to the ER. Control asthma with regular check-ups and medications.

i am a 16 year old female. i suffer from breathing difficulties that only occur at night. it has been happening the past couple of nights. i vape. i possibly have anxiety.
Female | 16
In case you vape and feel nervous, this might be the thing that is exacerbating your distress. Vaping injures the lungs and causes breathing problems. Anxiety may also bring about a rare situation where one finds it hard to breathe. As an alternative try to keep away from as often as possible and have deep breath exercises to calm anxiety or chat with someone. If it keeps up make sure you obtain help from a healthcare professional.

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.

Night sleep breathing problem
Male | 42
A persistent cough and runny nose could indicate whooping cough, especially if your baby recently had a fever and took antibiotics. Whooping cough is a contagious respiratory infection that causes severe coughing fits. Make sure your child rests, drinks plenty of water, and uses a cool-mist humidifier to ease the cough. Monitor their condition and contact their doctor if you have further concerns.

Had a chest xray for a cough/chest congestion that has lingered for a week. Do I have to take a zpak if no bronchitis or pneumonia was seen on xray?
Female | 47
A chest x-ray may rule out pneumonia or bronchitis but whether the prescription is appropriate remains questionable. In case you have a persistent cough and chest congestion, it is recommended that a pulmonologist should be consulted for further examination and treatment.

I have Cough cold and fiver last 1 day some headache and feeling fatigue
Female | 49
You have recently caught a cold. Infections can lead to tiredness, headaches, and even fever as a result of a virus, such as the one that causes colds. To recover from your illness, you should mainly rest, drink a lot of fluids, and perhaps use some over-the-counter medications to ease your symptoms.

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.

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.

Breathe prblm , shortness of breathe, it is being very extreme
Female | 22
You're in a hard situation when it comes to your breathing. Feeling like you're not getting enough air can add to your shortness of breath. It can bring about several things such as asthma, lung infections, heart diseases, or even anxiety. Try to remain calm, sit up straight, and start taking slow, deep breaths. If it remains, then, you should get medical help immediately.

Hello sir or madam, my name is santanu shyamal,I have allergies in my body, because of that allergy I am having a severe cough and cough is coming out of my body every second with cough every second. i can not stay with this cough. my TOTAL IGE is - 1013.3
Male | SANTANU SHYAMAL
Allergies can produce symptoms like coughing. It is caused by your body's defense mechanism in panic mode thinking something is threatening. A cough is a way your body spits out what it considers foreign. Visiting a pulmonologist can aid you in finding the best approach to control your allergy and stop the cough. You might be given a prescription for the medication or advised on triggers that can make your allergies worse or increase your cough..

Medications for TB commonly bring about changes in mood such as crankiness. Having junk meals while under TB drugs could worsen the situation. Ensure your brother eats nourishing food. If he still gets angry easily, you should consult his doctor.

Asthma and bronchitis ki problem hai
Male | 25
Asthma and bronchitis are both breathing problems. These are symptoms of respiratory diseases such as coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, etc. Asthma is a condition that can be provoked by allergies, exercise, or cold weather, while bronchitis is mostly caused by viruses or smoking. It would be helpful to follow your medication regime, steer clear of triggers such as smoke or pollution, and live a healthy lifestyle through proper nutrition and regular exercise.

Fever cold and cough from 3 days.
Male | 28
You might have a common cold. A cold is generally referred to as a runny nose, sneezing, sore throat, cough, and other symptoms. It is caused by a virus that spreads from one person to the other with minimal contact or any. To make you feel better, be sure to drink plenty of water and get lots of rest, you may also use OTC medicines that help with symptoms like a sore throat and dizziness. However, if it does not improve in a few days, visit a pulmonologist.

I am 52 yr old female patient. I'm suffering with dry cough and wheezing since 4 days. What should I do now?
Female | 52
You are having a hard time with a dry cough and wheezing. These symptoms could be signs of a respiratory infection or asthma. You may have a dry cough due to irritation in your throat. Wheezing is a high-pitched whistling sound usually produced when the airways are narrowed. To relieve your symptoms, you can use a humidifier, drink warm liquids, avoid triggers like smoke or strong odors, and stay hydrated. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it would be wise to visit a pulmonologist.
