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.

Good morning doctor I am suffering cough and cold. and fever.and neck swelling.body pains.

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.

What happened to me? I get asthmatic attacks from dairy products regularly. But this time, even though I did not consume any dairy products lately. I have one of the worst one I ever had, got an asthma attack, my eyes are red and specific areas of the left part of my lips is puffed up for some reason. I've consumed a large quantity of dairy products before and the reaction wasn't nearly as severe.

Male | 13

You might be having a more serious allergic reaction which could cause your asthma symptoms to worsen; it may also cause swelling in areas such as your lips. Although now you haven't consumed dairy, allergies sometimes develop gradually and give rise to severe reactions. Allergies can often be so severe that they cause the eyes to become red. You should stay away from dairy and consult an allergist to establish your triggers and to receive the correct treatment.

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.

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.

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.
