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.

I'm having breathing problem, chest pain,back pain and dry cough

Female | 26

I suggest visiting a pulmonologist within the shortest run for your breathing problem and dry cough. These symptoms may mean a respiratory infection or something that can progress to more serious problems such as asthma or bronchitis. For your chest and back pain, however, see a consultant orthopedic specialist who will discover and treat muscle and bone problems as needed.

I'm a 19 year old female. I drink a shot of bleach and have chest pain, cough, nausea, shortness of breath, and I feel hot. This all happened yesterday april 30th at 1 am.

Female | 19

Ingesting bleach may cause these effects by irritating your respiratory and digestive systems. It’s risky and should be treated as a medical emergency. Always remember that bleach is harmful if swallowed and could injure your internal organs in the future.

Treatment for pneumonia in children

Male | 25

Treatment for pneumonia in children typically involves antibiotics if it's caused by bacteria, and supportive care for viral pneumonia. Rest, fluids, and fever-reducing medications are also essential. However, severe cases might need hospitalization for oxygen therapy and intravenous fluids. It's important to consult a pediatrician for the right diagnosis and treatment plan.

Remedy for severe asthmatic attack

Female | 38

Fee­ling an asthma attack is frightening. Your breaths shorten, whe­ezing comes, coughing increase­s, tightness squeeze­s your chest. Airways swell, becoming narrow during attacks. To e­ase severe­ attacks: inhale from a rescue inhale­r, sit upright, stay calm. If symptoms don't improve quickly, seek e­mergency care imme­diately.

I was wondering I have been having shortness of breath and coughing up tiniest bit of blood and light yellow phlegm and it stinks

Female | 17

These symptoms, along with yellow phlegm with a foul smell, could indicate a lung infection or pneumonia. Both viruses and bacteria can cause these issues. It's crucial to see a doctor quickly for a proper diagnosis and treatment. They can prescribe the right medication, likely antibiotics, to combat the infection.

I had dry cough sometimes and feels sinuses pressure after eating especially forehead

Male | 28

Post-nasal drip could cause your discomfort. Exce­ss mucus draining down your throat can make you cough and feel sinus pre­ssure around your forehead are­a. Food consumption might trigger it. Staying hydrated by drinking water re­gularly, and using saline nasal spray, could alleviate the­se symptoms.

My daughter is 12 plus .she complains of breathlessness especially during night ,after which she sleeps nicely.she had a Ceasar on jan 10 this year for the first time and the reason is still not known after all check-up. She says she had an attack when she was trying to tell us she is not able to breathe well.Since that day she is worried and little anxious that same incident might not occur.This gave us an idea of meeting a pulmonologist who can help us.kindly suggest

Female | 12

It is best to have your daughter evaluated by a pulmonologist. The pulmonologist may recommend a variety of tests to assess her breathlessness, including a chest x-ray, spirometry, a complete blood count (CBC), and a complete metabolic panel. Depending on the results of the tests, the pulmonologist will recommend additional tests, such as an electrocardiogram (ECG) or a pulmonary function test (PFT). Additionally, the doctor can recommend taking medications to help manage her symptoms. It is important to monitor her closely for any changes in her breathing patterns.

I have been coughing a lot for the past three days with soar throat...I went to the dispensary and I was given Lotide & prednisolone ....is this a right medicine for me?

Male | 35

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.
