Female | 21
Seems like you have caught a common cold which is caused by a virus. The symptoms of cough, headache, fever, mucus in the throat and feeling weak can be seen. To feel better try taking more liquid, rest and maybe over the counter drugs for colds. Seek medical advice if you do not improve after one week or if they become severe.

Facing breathing problem & will last for 5 to 10mins. Faced this issue before 2times
Female | 26
Asthma may be the cause of your breathing problems, making it feel like your lungs aren't functioning properly. This condition can lead to symptoms such as wheezing and coughing. Common triggers include allergies and exercise. If prescribed by your doctor, an inhaler can help open your airways and ease breathing difficulties. If you don't notice any improvement within a few days, consult a pulmonologist.

Fluid around my lungs what causing that and my d timer a little high
Female | 31
Liquid between the lungs is called pleural effusion. Among the reasons causing pleural effusion, congestive heart failure, pneumonia, cancer and kidney or liver disease are some of them. A significantly levelled D-dimer can mean that there are blood clots, which can also lead to pleural effusion. It is worth to see a pulmonologist to get appropriate evaluation and treatment.

Female | 25
You have a wet cough with yellow-green mucus and a stuffy nose, but no sore throat, correct? This could be a respiratory infection like a cold. The mucus color shows your body is fighting an infection. Drink lots of fluids. Get plenty of rest. Keep taking Montek LC. If symptoms persist or worsen, see a pulmonologist.

Female | 24
Your case might be pneumonia. It can make you cough up thick, pinkish mucus and can also cause pain in the left part of the chest when you lie down. You might also have trouble breathing while sleeping. Pneumonia is an infection that triggers inflammation in the air sacs in your lungs. You have to refer a pulmonologist for the best diagnosis and treatment.

महिला | 36
It looks like your sister has started to feel a little strange after having a bronchoscopy done which is a procedure used for checking the airways in the lungs. The prickling sensations, red hands, and other things might mean that the nerves are getting pinched or there is swelling somewhere. She needs to see a pulmonologist so they can find out what’s wrong with her. They might have some tests done or give her some medicine for it depending on how bad off she is.

How to take sevfurane 50 inhaler? After taking sevfurane does a person stop breathing? What if a person drinks the sevfurane?
Female | 27
Inhale the sevfurane 50 by breathing in slowly and deeply while pressing down on the inhaler. Do not stop breathing after taking it as it should not make you stop breathing. If a person drinks sevfurane, they may feel dizzy, confused, have a slow heartbeat or even slip into a coma. In such a case, one should be rushed to the hospital without any delays. Drinking sevfurane is extremely dangerous and could lead to loss of life.

A Patient 73 year old male has metastatic lung cancer went through radiation it's been 2-3 months since radiation ...used to eat a little but over the time his desire to eat has disappeared [has just a cup of juice but not frequently and gets wheezing cough whenever he does ] has lost so much weight [went from 70 kg to 45-50 ish] unable to walk by himself and recently fractured his femur [hence bedridden ] ..is now admitted thinking of going through surgery for the same [doctor says no guarantee ]...can I give them shilajit or I shouldn't because their lungs are too weak for that ?
Male | 73
The weight loss and decreased appetite can stem from both cancer and treatment effects. A weak lung condition can make adding supplements like shilajit risky, as it may not be advisable for those with respiratory issues. Focus on ensuring hydration and small, gentle meals, if tolerated. It’s vital to have an ongoing conversation with the pulmonologist about pain management and nutrition strategies. Always consult with his doctor before introducing any new remedies to ensure his safety and appropriate care.

Good morning sir My father is suffering Breathing problem can you suggest any medicine Thankyou.
Male | 75
Shortness of breath may be caused by several different problems such as asthma or lung infections. For the time being, you can give him some over-the-counter medications such as an inhaler that will help him to breathe more easily. It is necessary to observe his symptoms, and in case it continue, consult a pulmonologist.

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.

Dear sir, Am suffering from prostate problem and during the treatment, it was found that there is infection in my lings and same my damaged by 45%, another is breathing pro lem, plz suggest me some medicine.
Male | 71
Your symptoms indicate a possible prostate malfunction. The 45% damage to your lung tissue might be causing your breathing issues. Lung infections can result from various causes, such as cough, fever, and difficulty breathing, and can be caused by viruses, bacteria, or fungi. It's essential to take medications for the lung infection: antibiotics for bacterial infections, antivirals for viral infections, and antifungals for fungal infections. Additionally, breathing exercises and treatments like inhalers may help improve your breathing. Get advice from a pulmonologist.

My son has a cough but it's not often he doesn't have a fever, he's energetic but it takes a long time before the cough goes away should I still be worried? He has already taken antibiotics
Female | 27
A persistent cough can occur due to various reasons, such as allergies or a lingering viral infection. While antibiotics treat bacterial infections, they won't help if the cause is viral. Keep him hydrated and consider using a humidifier to ease his throat. If the cough lasts more than a few weeks or worsens, I recommend consulting a pulmonologist for proper evaluation. They can provide guidance tailored to his specific condition.

I am 22 years old and l am having breathing difficulties with chest congestion. I am forced to travel by air this week while l want to refrain from travelling. Please suggest me reasons l can give to be unfit to travel as l have a tight schedule to visit the doctor.
Female | 22
You are having hard moments with cough and chest pressure. These symptoms are the most common and may be triggered by the flu, common cold, or allergic reactions. They can also cause ear pain or a feeling of fullness due to the dryer air in the cabin. Before you can fly again or think of travel, you should prioritize a healthy and safe life. With resting, make the best of the situation by drinking more water and using a humidifier to relieve congestion.

I just had oral sex with my partner he ejeculated in my mouth but never kissed me he had pulmonary tb
Male | 26
I understand your apprehension about tuberculosis transmission. Lung tuberculosis disperses via airborne particles, not through saliva exchange. The likelihood of tuberculosis transmission through oral intimacy is minimal. Common tuberculosis indicators: persistent coughing, unintended weight reduction, and persistent fatigue. Should you exhibit any of those manifestations, coupled with prior exposure history, consulting a pulmonologist is important.

Had a chest xray for a cough/chest congestion that has lingered for a week. Do I have to take a zpak if no bronchitis or pneumonia was seen on xray?
Female | 47
A chest x-ray may rule out pneumonia or bronchitis but whether the prescription is appropriate remains questionable. In case you have a persistent cough and chest congestion, it is recommended that a pulmonologist should be consulted for further examination and treatment.

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.
