Can I take chest and cold medicine along with kit 6
Female | 21
Combining chest and cold medicine with Kit 6 can sometimes be a bit tricky. Cough and cold medications are sometimes prescribed to alleviate a sore throat, a cough, and a stuffy nose. Nevertheless, Kit 6 may still be managing these. It is advisable not to combine two similar medications to avoid the occurrence of undesired side effects. If you still feel unwell, reach out to a pulmonologist for proper guidance.

103° temperature and throat and cough
Male | 19
A 103°F temperature along with a sore throat and cough can mean that you have been infected with a virus such as the flu or a cold. Most of the time, these as well originated at the side of the body virus. Your body temperature goes higher to attack the infection. However, the infection can be fought by high fluid intakes, enough sleep, and taking over-the-counter drugs. So if there is no improvement after 2-3 days you may need to see your pulmonologist.

I have asthma but no inhaler and I want to start track and field in my school. What should I do?
Female | 14
Sports if you are asthmatic and lack of inhaler can turn out to be a dangerous affair. Asthma is a disease that can cause breathing difficulties, coughing, and compactness of the chest among other things. Physical activities can provoke an asthma attack. In your situation, it would be dangerous to do track and field without an inhaler. Warn your parents or school nurse about your asthma and request them to help you get an inhaler before beginning track and field.

A sore throat and a runny nose could mean that you have a cold. The common cold is usually caused by a virus that is easily spread from person to person. To help yourself feel better, rest a lot, drink warm beverages such as tea and honey, and also gargle salt water which will soothe your throat. Typically it clears up within a few days.

I need help with falling a sleep while having a cough
Female | 53
Falling asleep when coughing is hard. Coughs disrupt sleep by irritating airways. Cold, allergies, asthma – all potential culprits.

She may be suffering from chest pain due to costochondritis. This occurs when the cartilage in the chest gets inflamed in cold weather. It can cause a sudden pain inside the chest. To ease the pain, she can use warm compresses, take pain relievers like ibuprofen, and avoid activities that aggravate the pain. If the pain does not go away or becomes more severe, she should consult a pulmonologist for further treatment.

আমার ছেলের কাশী কিছুতেই সারছে না, কখনও বেশি হয়, কখনও আবার একদম বন্ধ হয়ে যায়, প্রায় 1 বছর ধরে হচ্ছে, চেস্ট x Ray করা হয়েছে, কোনো প্রবলেম নেই। আবহাওয়া খারাপ হলে কাশী বাড়ে আবার কমে যায়। অন্য কোনো প্রবলেম নেই। খেলাধুলা করলে বা সাইকেল চালালে কাশী একদম হয় না। বসে থাকলে কখনও কখনও হয়।

It sounds like your son's cough is persistent and fluctuates in intensity, regardless of a chest x-ray showing no issues. Weather changes seem to affect it, with worsening during bad weather. Surprisingly, no coughing during physical activities like sports or cycling, but sometimes occurs when sitting. It might be worth exploring further with a pulmonologist to understand the underlying cause.

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..

Could cough with mucus & Chest Block
Female | 28
This may be either a cold virus or a respiratory infection. The mucus you are coughing up is your body's mechanism of clearing out microbes. The liquids, humidifiers, cough medicine without a prescription, and the physician's instructions might assist you in handling the symptoms. You can drink fluids, use a humidifier, or take over-the-counter cough medicine to reduce the symptoms.

In most cases, no action needs to be taken concerning these growths but you need to keep visiting a doctor to check up on them frequently.
