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.

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.

Hello I am 20 years old i have cough, flowing nose and chest pain while coughing since from last 2 days what should I do now I didn't get any relief from that which medicine should I prefer
Male | 20
It seems you may be experiencing symptoms of a respiratory infection, which can cause cough, nasal congestion, and chest discomfort. To find relief, consider staying hydrated, using over-the-counter medications like cough suppressants or decongestants, and resting as much as possible. Warm teas or steam inhalation can also soothe your throat and help with congestion. However, if the symptoms persist beyond a few days, worsen, or if you experience fever, it's crucial to seek medical advice. A pulmonologist can provide a proper diagnosis and recommend effective treatment tailored to your needs.

Hi, my name is aiden i am 14 years old and I've been wondering if there something wrong with me when i lay down on my chest i find it a lil hard to breathe sometimes i wonder if its axizety or i might be overthinking but other then that ive been having axizety making it hard for me to sleep and i just feels like my eyes are close but im not getting any sleep what should i do
Male | 14
When you lay on your chest and it feels hard to get air in, that could be from anxiety. Anxiety also makes it difficult for people to sleep well at night. You can learn how to control your breathing when talking about it with them and other ways of calming down too if they know about it. Try doing things before going to bed like making a routine so that every time before sleep you will make sure that you get into bed more easily also practice good habits around sleep like not watching any screens an hour before bedtime because they keep awake longer which means fewer hours spent resting. If these symptoms stay or get worse then maybe it's time to see the doctor and tell them what’s been happening.

I am looking after my dad that has end of life copd.hes not eating much very weak talks in his sleep and fidgety and is getting withdrawn from peopl
Male | 83
Extreme fatigue and loss of appetite could be caused by COPD. Sometimes people may talk while asleep, be restless, or become unresponsive during this period. This means that the body is extremely weak. Right now, what is most important is to make sure he is relaxed all the time, don’t force him to eat too much but give him small amounts of food often.

I am having fever and cough for about 30 hours, I am taking paracetamol, I am feeling relief for 4-5 hours, then I am waking up like this, and I am also coughing.
Male | 24
It could be a respiratory infection that is giving you a fever and cough. Such infections can be due to viruses and bacteria. Paracetamol can reduce your fever usefully, while coughing is your airways' way of trying to clean themselves. Encourage your body to be healthy by drinking lots of fluids and getting enough sleep. If the last couple of days haven't been the best for you and you feel even worse than before, then it is time to consult a pulmonologist.

The typical time duration for maintenance chemotherapy is around 4-6 months, but it can vary depending on the patient's individual needs and response to treatment. It is important to discuss the duration of maintenance chemotherapy with your doctor to determine the best course of treatment for you.

i recently got tested for covid and was positive and i haven’t had a fever for 48 hours but i took another test and it came back positive but have no symptoms just a sore throat from dry cough am I good to hang with friends?
Male | 19
It's good that you haven't had a fever for 48 hours, that's a positive sign. Nonetheless, the sore throat you may be able to catch from a dry cough may as well mean that you are infected and may still be contagious. Staying at home and keeping away from people is the best way to protect other people from infection. Continue with the fluids, take your rest, and check your symptoms regularly.

My mother has sarcoidosis fibrotic ILD patient.last night her oxygen saturation 87 to 90. But physically she is normal .plz suggest what should i do.
Female | 66
The scarred and stiff lung tissue in sarcoidosis fibrotic ILD makes it hard for air to get in. If her oxygen level drops below normal, she does not have enough oxygen in her body. It can be really bad. Even if she seems fine, low oxygen can hurt her. Assure that her doctor’s instructions for using oxygen are strictly followed. In case there is no improvement, call for emergency medical services immediately.

Female | 25
Various factors such as anxiety, muscle strain, or serious health problems like heart issues or respiratory conditions can all give us unpleasant bodily sensations. The key to getting well is to be in touch with your body; these issues need attention and proper evaluation by a specialist. I suggest asking for medical help urgently to make sure that the pulmonologist examines you thoroughly and recommends the appropriate treatment.

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.

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.

You have had a dry cough for the last twenty days and feel like you have mucus in your throat. It could be due to a respiratory infection or allergies. Drink plenty of fluids, use a humidifier, and try cough syrups or lozenges for over-the-counter medicines. If it persists, it is advisable to visit a pulmonologist for further examination.

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.
