These symptoms often happen when you have a virus infection. Lotide cough syrup can help your throat feel better and stop coughing so much. Prednisolone medicine is a steroid that can reduce swelling in your throat.

i am 39 years old having vertigo allergic bronchitis
Female | 39
You have been diagnosed with allergic bronchitis, which is causing coughing and dizziness. The dizziness you're feeling, known as vertigo, makes it seem like everything around you is spinning. Allergic bronchitis happens when your bronchial tubes react to allergens like dust and pollen. Your doctor may prescribe medication to help with the cough and dizziness. It's also helpful to avoid triggers like smoking or strong perfumes.

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.

Female | 30
You might have a viral infection. Fever, cough, cold, body pains, and neck swelling are fairly common with these infections. The virus is being fought by your body, which is manifesting these symptoms. Resting, staying hydrated, and taking over-the-counter medications for fever and pain are helpful in this case. If your symptoms get worse or last longer, you should visit a doctor.

Hello, i have aasthma since my childhood, im in my 20's now and thinking to add l arigine in my daily routine, 2.5gm daily. Will it be harmful or alright to counsume it?
Male | 23
L-arginine can assist certain individuals in their breathing, but for those with asthma, it might not be the optimal choice. L-arginine can set off asthma attacks in some people, rendering one to gasp more. It is crucial to consult your physician before commencing any novel supplement, particularly if you have asthma.

Gala me coughing Head sir bhari rehne Stomach pain halka halka
Male | 23
These symptoms could be either a common cold or a stomach bug. The coughing may be provoking your throat and thus making you feel heavy in the head. Drinking plenty of water, resting, and eating light, healthy foods are the ways you can get better. If it doesn't get better, it's better to go to a pulmonologist.

Female | 59
Collapsed lung or pneumothorax is a serious medical condition.. Treatment options for a collapsed lung can be chest tube insertion, surgery, or other interventions based on the severity and underlying cause of the condition.
While stem cell therapy is an area of ongoing research and holds potential for various medical applications, including regenerative medicine, its use for specific conditions like collapsed lung may still be experimental and not yet widely established as a standard treatment.
Talk to a pulmonologist regarding your specific condition and treatment options. They will provide you with the most accurate and up to date information, discuss potential treatment options

Iam 18 years old Im suffering from cough from 7 days. my father prescribed me Azithromycin 500 mg. Actually my father is not a doctor but having some medication knowledge. Is it ok to take Azithromycin 500 mg ??
Male | 18
Perhaps a cold or allergies trigger the cough that has been there for 7 days. Azithromycin 500 mg is an antibiotic that can help if your cough is a result of a bacterial infection. Nonetheless, it's important to get a pulmonologist's examination to find out the exact cause of your cough before taking medication to take precautions before it occurs again.

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.

My CT Scan report. Area of ground glass opacification is seen in the right lower lobe. A tiny subpleural nodule is seen in the right lung on image #4-46. What meant by it in easy and understandable words
Male | 32
Based on the CT scan report, here are a couple of findings:
Ground glass opacification in the right lower lobe: This refers to an area in the lung that appears hazy or cloudy on the CT scan. It can indicate various conditions, such as inflammation, infection, or early stages of lung disease.
Subpleural nodule in the right lung: This refers to a small abnormality or growth detected in the right lung, near the outer lining of the lung. The exact nature of the nodule would need further evaluation to determine if it is benign (non-cancerous) or potentially malignant (cancerous).

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.
