Answered on 25th June '24

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.

Female | 19

Maybe you are an asthma patient. The changing seasons can be the reason for the asthma symptoms intensified by pollen. Various symptoms are observed such as shortness of breath, wheezing, and feeling of being out of breath. The underlying cause is the body's hypersensitivity to certain substances known as allergens. The treatment is to utilize a doctor-prescribed inhaler can assist in more effective breathing. Dust and pollen are some triggers that should be avoided.

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.

Male | 39

Chronic coughing over extended periods and dark phlegm need medical attention to identify their causes which can be chronic bronchitis or lung cancer. A prompt visit to pulmonologist is strongly suggestable in case one experiences such severe symptoms. In a timely manner, treatment and help can be effective and bring about better results as well as enhanced qualities of life.

I have Cough cold and fiver last 1 day some headache and feeling fatigue

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.

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after my dad that has end of life copd.hes not eating much very weak talks in his sleep and fidgety and is getting withdrawn from peopl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 have been getting sick with sore throat and lungs congestion for a long time now. Every month, at least two trips to the clinic with antibiotics is a must. I suspect that my asthmatic and wheezing, coughing, congestion, sinus, tonsillitis, and inflammation might br caused by mold in my home and office. How can I ask my doctor here in clinic to test my blood for the mold toxicity?

Female | 24

Mold can grow in damp areas, releasing spores that may cause illness. If you suspect mold exposure, you can ask your doctor for a blood test by saying, "I'm worried that mold at home or work may be causing my symptoms. Could we check for mold toxicity in my blood?" This test can help determine if mold is behind your health issues. In addition to treating any symptoms, it’s important to address the mold sources at home and work to improve your air quality.
