My 7-month-old daughter has coughed for almost 20 days. Some times it feels like a dry cough, and some time it feels like mucus. mostly she feels good but suddenly cough starts and feels like choking or unable to breathe, and this happens in phase 2 or 3 times in 24 hours.
Female | 7 months
A dry cough changing to mucus coughing may signal throat irritation or a cold. Difficulty breathing during coughing fits could mean mucus temporarily blocks her airways. Keep her hydrated. Use a humidifier in her room to loosen mucus. If coughing persists or worsens, seek medical attention from her pediatrician. This rules out other issues needing treatment.

Hi doctor, Yesterday i spent around 35 minutes sitting and talking to a MDR TB patient who has been taking medications for 5 months. I am worried about exposure. Pls guide me.
Female | 19
Hanging around someone with MDR TB can understandably be unnerving. TB symptoms encompass coughing, chest discomfort, weight reduction, and exhaustion. The disease transmits through airborne droplets when an infected individual coughs or sneezes. To play it safe, schedule an appointment with your doctor for a TB test. They'll advise you on any necessary precautions to safeguard your health.

I have RSV how bad is it for an adult like me I'm 37 and I started getting sick on Monday and how long does it take for it to go away and could it kill me and how long does the coughing go for and will the coughing stop in how long before this RSV will get out of my system
Female | 37
RSV causes breathing trouble for grown-ups. With a cough, runny nose, fever and hard breathing, it can be rough. But most feel better in 1-2 weeks without treatment. It rarely kills healthy adults yet can be severe for some. The annoying cough may continue for weeks after the other symptoms fade. Resting up, drinking fluids, and symptom relief medications help most recover.

My 1 year old son has a mucus blockage on his throat, its not going anywhere even when he cough and he is struggling to breath1
Male | 1
Respiratory mucus obstruction may be why your son is experiencing breathing problems, which can sometimes result in throat blockage. Coughing being the common symptom and difficulty breathing are other signs to look for. This blockage can be a result of a cold or allergies. If he is still alive, you can help him through the use of a humidifier in his room to make mucus easier to clear and whoop his back lightly a few times to help him clear his throat. If the issue continues or worsens, then you should consult a pulmonologist.

Breathing issues wouldn't be possible because you carried a baby for long. Although it can cause muscle straing or fatigue. Check with a pulmonologist or a physician for a thorough evaluation.

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.

my name is nikhil my age is 20 I have fever and cough I am having fever day and night since last 3 days. I have squinted in the rain many times
Male | 20
Fever and cough are typically part of the body's natural defense against infection. When you get wet in the rain, your body gets cold, which makes it a lot easier to catch a cold. Keep it warm, drink a lot of fluids, get some rest, and you can also take some over-the-counter fever medicine if you like. If your symptoms become more severe or worsen, visit a doctor.

The symptoms you mentioned, such as hoarseness, difficulty speaking, and ear pain, could be post-viral laryngitis. It is one of the possible post-viral complications following a viral infection like COVID. Make sure to rest your voice, drink plenty of fluids, and steer clear of irritants such as smoking. If the symptoms do not go away, it is a good idea to visit an ENT specialist for a more detailed examination and treatment.

Asthma Hai balgam nahi nikalta chest me khasi ke samay dard hai
Male | 44
Asthma has different forms, one is cough-variant. With this type, you cough but no phlegm comes up. It makes your chest feel tight. Coughing causes pain. Allergies or exercise often trigger it. Inhalers prescribed by doctors help manage symptoms. See a pulmonologist if you experience this.

Male | 52
Experiencing sudden jerks can be concerning. There are possibilities for the sensation of a jerk or interruption in breathing that happens due to sleep disorders, anxiety or panic attacks or other respiratory conditions like asthama or COPD. Consult a pulmonologist to assess your condition and to get apt treatment for it.

Anxiety late night asthama attack
Female | 14
Late-night asthma attacks triggered by anxiety are not uncommon. When anxiety strikes, your body can react in unusual ways, leading to respiratory issues. Asthma symptoms can worsen, making it difficult to breathe. You might experience wheezing, persistent coughing, and a tight feeling in your chest. To manage anxiety, try calming techniques like deep breathing exercises or mindfulness meditation.

This is actually about my mother. 5 days ago, she started having these flu-like symptoms; coughing, extreme fatigue, phlegm, wheezing, headache, chills, and fever. The fever is now gone, but she still has all the other symptoms. She had a chest x-ray that came back perfectly fine, and tested negative for COVID, so it’s not that. She hasn’t really improved, but she hasn’t gotten worse either. Could this be the flu?
Female | 68
The best thing you can do is make your mother rest, take a lot of fluids, and use drugs that can relieve her of any symptoms that are associated with over-the-counter. Make sure she takes syrup, water, tea, etc. to keep herself hydrated especially since she might not have much desire for them due to coughs being experienced hence causing dry throat. Please visit a pulmonologist for further treatment.

I have had a low-grade fever on and off for about 6 days, cough with blood in mucus sometimes, although it may be blood from my nosebleed, and sore throat what could be the cause?
Male | 20
You might have a chest cold. That makes you cough and feel hot. The red stuff from your nose or throat could be from bleeding. But you should go to a pulmonologist to check. Be sure to drink a lot of water and juice. And rest as much as you can. Use a humidifier too. It puts water in the air so your throat does not get dry.
