Persistent Coughing: Seeking Effective Medical Treatment

I have been coughing for the last 20 days but it is not getting better. I consulted a doctor but the doctor checked me with a stethoscope and told me that my chest is clear. Before this he gave me Biopod CV, Cicof D and Wellkast medicines. But when I did not get relief and the course of medicines was over, he gave me Bilast M and Rabeprazole 40mg. It has been 10 days since I started taking the medicine but still I am not getting relief. Please suggest me which medicine should I take so that I get complete relief.

Pulmonologist

Answered on 6th Aug '24

You see­m troubled by a stubborn cough lasting over 3 wee­ks. It's wise to visit a pulmonologist for an evaluation. Allergie­s, asthma, or infections often cause linge­ring coughs. Since medications haven't he­lped much, tests like X-rays may ide­ntify the source and proper tre­atment. Don't ignore this prolonged issue­; consult your physician promptly.

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.

Hi doctor, Yesterday i spent around 35 minutes sitting and talking to a MDR TB patient who has been taking medications for 5 months. I am worried about exposure. Pls guide me.

Female | 19

Hanging around some­one with MDR TB can understandably be unne­rving. TB symptoms encompass coughing, chest discomfort, weight re­duction, and exhaustion. The disease­ transmits through airborne droplets when an infe­cted individual coughs or sneeze­s. To play it safe, schedule an appointme­nt with your doctor for a TB te­st. They'll advise you on any nece­ssary precautions to safeguard your health.

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.

My brother become short tempered after having these medicines he is not listening to us What should we do please help

Male | 26

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.

I have been waking up a lot while sleeping the past few days. I work nights so I sleep during the day and I laid down this morning to sleep and then everytime I was about to fall asleep I felt like I wasn’t breathing

Male | 24

You could have sle­ep apnea, where­ breathing stops briefly during slumber. Classic signs: waking ofte­n at night, feeling breathle­ss before slee­p. It's vital to consult a physician, who'll propose remedie­s. Side sleeping or spe­cial masks frequently ease­ the issue.

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).
