Is it safe to use hyperneb 3%for steam inhalation?

Pulmonologist
Answered on 23rd May '24
It is not preferred to use the Hyperneb 3% for taking steam while it has a hypertonic saline solution that is for nebulization therapy. Humidifying steam can also be achieved by plain water or using a saline solution. If you accumulate to any respiratory problems, don't hesitate to see pulmonologists for correct diagnosis and treatment.

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.

I gradually noticed black mucus and blood spots while cough I had completed 6 months tb medicine
Female | 23
It's understandable to be concerned about noticing dark mucus and blood while coughing, especially after completing your tuberculosis treatment. These symptoms may occur due to irritation in the airways, residual effects of the infection, or other underlying issues. It's important to monitor your symptoms closely. I strongly encourage you to consult a pulmonologist for an evaluation. They can conduct tests to determine the cause and suggest appropriate 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.

Is tramadol risky for a 99 year old woman? It was given to grandmother at nursing home and she started running out of breath.
Female | 99
This is especially risky for a 99-year-old woman. Tramadol may lead to respiratory problems among older adults. If she experiences any breath shortness; it is crucial to discontinue use of this drug immediately and seek medical attention. The doctor will provide necessary assistance on how to manage such symptoms as well as finding another less harmful medicine.

Greetings In which there is pain, cough and cold. and have fever
Female | 60
It sounds like you are experiencing discomfort, including respiratory symptoms and an increase in body temperature. These signs could indicate a viral infection like a cold or flu. Staying well-hydrated, resting, and using over-the-counter medications can help alleviate your symptoms. Warm teas and soups may provide comfort, while a humidifier can ease breathing. It’s important to monitor your temperature and symptoms closely. If your fever persists beyond a few days or worsens, I encourage you to consult a pulmonologist for a thorough evaluation and personalized guidance.

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.

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.

Hey..this is Hassan Mahmood, I'm 19 years old from last 3 days I had severe fever and cough now I'm cured with fever through paracetamol and anti allergies but still cough is not going although I'm taking cough syrup and home remedies.
Male | 19
Persistent coughing can often follow a respiratory infection, even after other symptoms have improved. This can be caused by lingering inflammation in the airways. Continue using your cough syrup and home remedies like honey and warm fluids, which may help soothe your throat. If the cough persists for more than a week or worsens, it's advisable to consult a pulmonologist. They can provide a thorough evaluation and may suggest treatments like inhalers or additional medications.

Lung nodules can arise from various causes, including infections, inflammation, or benign growths, not just cancer. Symptoms may not always be present, making it essential to monitor any changes in health. The best course of action is to have a thorough evaluation by a pulmonologist. They may recommend imaging tests or a biopsy for a clear diagnosis.

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.
