It's understandable to be concerned about your symptoms. Coughing with sputum can indicate a respiratory infection or irritation, often linked to smoking. The presence of sputum is normal; however, it’s wise to monitor its color and consistency. Persistent issues warrant a consultation with a pulmonologist for proper evaluation. Quitting smoking would greatly enhance your lung health and reduce symptoms. Staying hydrated and considering over-the-counter remedies may help alleviate discomfort.

Male | 24
You may have symptoms such as expectoration of mucus, a feeling of fullness in the chest, or difficulty in breathing. This could be due to airway infection or inflammation. It is very important to go to a medical practitioner who will be able to give you the right therapy and advice that are specifically suited to your complaint.

It seems better to see a doctor on your persistent cough and accompaniment symptoms. Your cough color might be a sign or symptom of a hidden ailment. The patient should see a pulmonologist for a detailed assessment and the correct treatment course.

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.

Fever cold and cough from 3 days.
Male | 28
You might have a common cold. A cold is generally referred to as a runny nose, sneezing, sore throat, cough, and other symptoms. It is caused by a virus that spreads from one person to the other with minimal contact or any. To make you feel better, be sure to drink plenty of water and get lots of rest, you may also use OTC medicines that help with symptoms like a sore throat and dizziness. However, if it does not improve in a few days, visit a pulmonologist.

I’ve been vaping for a while and I decided to quit bwcause I started feeling like I didn’t have very good stamina and I decided to quit and 3 days before I quit I started feeling small sharp pains in my left side of my body and I’m pretty sure it’s my lung but I don’t know if it’s just my anxiety and I don’t know if it’s just heart burn because I haven’t eaten much which could be the case but I don’t know
Male | 14
Several factors can cause sharp irritations on the left side of your body, including issues with the respiratory system, anxiety, or heart problems due to inadequate food intake. Eating healthily, staying hydrated, and resting may help improve these symptoms. However, consult a pulmonologist if the irritation persists or worsens.

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.

Male | 26
It is possible that you may have an underlying respiratory condition such as asthma or COPD that is causing your symptoms. You should see a doctor for a more thorough evaluation and to discuss treatment options. It is also possible that your symptoms could be caused by allergies or other environmental triggers. An allergist or pulmonologist can help you identify the underlying cause of your symptoms and develop an effective treatment plan.

sir i am mauma For about 6-7 months, I have cold, cough and fever except for 10 days in 1 month
Female | 20
Oh no, now you have been in this bad condition for quite a long time! Having problems like coughing, fever with episodes of normal conditions, and sore throat can really make your life hard. Viruses are the main cause of these symptoms in life. Keep your body hydrated, and take breaks, just eat nutritious meals. Maintain a certain distance and instruct people to cover their coughs and sneezes. If it persists or worsens, consulting a pulmonologist is an essential thing to do.

Female | 49
You have recently caught a cold. Infections can lead to tiredness, headaches, and even fever as a result of a virus, such as the one that causes colds. To recover from your illness, you should mainly rest, drink a lot of fluids, and perhaps use some over-the-counter medications to ease your symptoms.

Sir Yesterday I met a girl who had TB disease and talked to her for about 40 minutes. She even shouted once, "Do I have any chance of getting infected from her?" I was not there for more than 40 minutes.
Male | 22
The chances of catching TB from a brief interaction are low. Experts say TB is mainly contracted through prolonged close contact with someone who has active TB. Common symptoms include cough, weight loss, fever, and night sweats. To be safe, watch for these signs. If anything seems off, consult a pulmonologist.

My baby girl 4.5 years having cough on and off for last 5 months . we did x rays of chest and a white small spot came in x rays. What is that mean
Female | 4.5
This symptom can stem from various causes, such as allergies, infections, or even environmental factors. The small spot observed on the X-ray may indicate several possibilities, but it does not necessarily point to something serious. It’s crucial to discuss these findings with her pediatrician, who can interpret the X-ray in the context of her overall health. In the meantime, maintaining a comfortable environment and monitoring her symptoms can be helpful.

Cough..very hard.........
Male | 30
Your cough sounds very intense. A severe cough can signify illnesses like chest infections, throat infections, allergies, or asthma. Stay hydrated, use a humidifier, and take cough medicine if required. If it persists, see a pulmonologist. Severe coughing fits are difficult. Coughs sometimes indicate underlying conditions. Persistent coughing warrants medical attention. Remedies like fluids and humidifiers provide temporary relief.

Hello, good day. I have shortness of breath in the bronchi. My doctor prescribed me the inhaler Salbutamol and the tablet medicine allergy lesetrin lukastin ansimar. How long after using the inhaler can I drink these tablets? Is it harmful to use these medicines with an interval of 1 hour. Or how long between medicines? must be time.?
Kişi | 30
Asthma or allergies can be a cause of this. To open the airways quickly, Salbutamol inhalers play an important role. On the other hand, Leukotriene Modifiers such as Montelukast take longer working time as they reduce inflammation gradually over the airway passages. No problem if combined use is considered safe by the doctor. Both drugs follow medical prescriptions strictly.
