Do my granddaughter's symptoms indicate Whooping Cough?
My granddaughter had a slight fever and a cough sense yesterday. The fever is gone but the cough is still there. I gave her some cough drops which didn’t work. Her cough became more consistent. Her mother gave her Tussin, a cheaper version of Robitussin. Now she’s vomiting. Is this a sign of Whooping Cough? She’s 7 years old

Answered on 23rd May '24
This typically occurs when a person coughs so much, it makes them sick to their stomach. In children, particularly in toddlers, this can be alarming. It is an infectious disease characterized by coughs that produce a “whooping” sound. It is caused by bacteria and affects the respiratory system. If left untreated or not properly managed, it can cause serious complications, especially in young kids.

I am a 47 year old male i had post thyroidectomy and recently got a CT scan and it shows subcentrimetric nodules scattered in the lungs so what does that mean
Male | 47
Following your thyroid surgery and the CT scan, some small nodules were spotted in your lungs. These are very common little growths that hardly ever have any symptoms attached to them. They could have been caused by many things such as infections or past illnesses. In most cases, no action needs to be taken concerning these growths but you need to keep visiting a doctor to check up on them frequently. If you start feeling unusual in any way like continuous coughing or struggling to breathe, please inform your physician immediately.

Blood from lungs while coughing
Male | 46
Coughing blood happens due to lung issues. Lung infections or airway irritation might cause this. See a doctor if you have fever, chest pain, or breathing troubles too. The treatment depends on the reason causing it. So, get proper tests to find out what's causing your bloody cough. It's important to check with a pulmonologist.

I am a 15 year old girl, I am suspecting asthma, although I have no wheeze or cough, I have shortness of breath, fatigue, chest tightness, and general anxiety.
Female | 15
Some of the symptoms of asthma are shortness of breath, chest tightness, fatigue, and anxiety. It is not possible to breathe freely with asthma. The reason for this is mostly the swelling in the airways. To manage this your doctor may prescribe inhalers and medications. To get the appropriate treatment the best thing to do is to see the pulmonologist.

Sir mujhe montoux positive aaya hai but x-ray me abhi TB show nhi hua h or TB confirm ke liye sputum test me balgam bhi nhi aa rha hai to kya mujhe TB hai ya nhi
Female | 23
TB bacteria encountered in the body results in a positive Montoux test, but the test does not determine TB disease. Your lungs appear normal on the chest X-ray and sputum test, which indicates that you may not have active TB disease. On the other hand, it is suggested along with a pulmonologist the more specific diagnosis and administration of treatment.

I've been coughing for more than 3 weeks and sometimes I find it hard to breathe
Female | 22
It seems like you’re having a hard time. Not being able to breathe well and coughing for more than 3 weeks is strange. A bad cold or even asthma can cause these problems. But it could also mean that there’s something wrong with your lungs. If you don’t take care of it right away, then you might have even more trouble later on. Usually, you’ll need drugs that help you breathe better and cure any infection. So I think seeing a pulmonologist as soon as possible would be the best thing to do.

Heavy dry cough last 2 hours
Female | 20
A heavy, dry cough can happen for various reasons. Maybe you caught a cold. Or, maybe you have allergies. Some irritants in the air might be causing it. For relief, drink warm liquids like tea with honey. A humidifier could help too, by making the air less dry. However, if the coughing persists, it's wise to consult a pulmonologist. They'll examine you and guide managing this annoying symptom.

I am having chest discomfort and wheezing which can be felt my me only and not heard out . And I am having shortness of breath
Female | 21
Asthma makes breathing difficult. Your airways become inflamed and swollen. You feel tightness in your chest. Wheezing sounds happen as air struggles to pass through narrow pipes. Using an inhaler opens the airways. This allows air to flow freely. Breathing becomes easier, and more comfortable. Seeing a pulmonologist can properly diagnose asthma. Proper treatment helps manage symptoms.

Your foster father should also seek professional advice from a cardiologist to query through his heart history and check it out, via tests such as an ECG of X-ray for the identification of its cause. He should get prompt medical attention to rule out any serious conditions and ensure his health.

My mother is 68th yr old and have cough issue, we meditate her properly nd have completed every possible test regarding cough, all test reports are normal. She couldn't sleep an hour properly Plz help us.
Female | 68
Coughing for a long time can still appear despite the normal test results because of other causes such as postnasal drip or acid reflux. These problems can lead to the throat getting more irritated and the cough lasting longer. To support her in getting more sleep, you may want to raise her head while she is sleeping and make the room humid. Besides that, avoiding bad triggers such as smoke or strong odors can be useful. If the situation persists, a visit to either a pulmonologist or allergist might be a good thing.

Lungs transplant after at the age of 74
Male | 74
A lung transplant is a major surgery in which one person's damaged lungs are replaced with healthy ones from a donor. At the age of seventy-four, the body may not tolerate new lungs as well as when it was younger, which can cause some complications. The symptoms that tell you that you need a lung transplant are severe dyspnea and a permanent lack of energy. It's a difficult decision and requires careful thought as well as consultation with professionals.

Hello, good day. I have shortness of breath in the bronchi. The doctor prescribed me Salbutamol inhaler, lesetrin lukastin, bronchodilator Ansimar for allergies. I used these drugs yesterday. I masturbated today. Does masturbation affect these drugs? Does masturbation damage the bronchi?
Kişi | 30
Taking the meds your doctor gave for breathing trouble and allergies is key for managing symptoms. About your question on self-pleasure, it doesn't affect those meds or hurt your air tubes. Self-pleasure is normal and doesn't damage the lungs. Follow your doctor's advice and take meds as instructed. If worried about your health, talk openly with a pulmonologist.

Facing health issues severe chest pain , tightness and breathing problem done x ray. Shows bravascilar prominent in lung field done ct scan show focal fibroatelectatic in right lobe and middle right lobe and lingula done pulmonary function test it shows breathing patterns changes and doctor says it's normal you're fine while. I'm not feeling well
Female | 24
The focally fibroatelectatic area seen on the x-ray of your right lung may be causing the symptoms you are having. Although irregular breathing patterns have been observed, pulmonary function tests are normal. This may happen because of trapped air in your lungs. Consult a pulmonologist and discuss your test results so that further evaluation and treatment can be done.

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.

A chest x-ray may rule out pneumonia or bronchitis but whether the prescription is appropriate remains questionable. In case you have a persistent cough and chest congestion, it is recommended that a pulmonologist should be consulted for further examination and treatment.

Asthma and bronchitis are both breathing problems. These are symptoms of respiratory diseases such as coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, etc. Asthma is a condition that can be provoked by allergies, exercise, or cold weather, while bronchitis is mostly caused by viruses or smoking. It would be helpful to follow your medication regime, steer clear of triggers such as smoke or pollution, and live a healthy lifestyle through proper nutrition and regular exercise.
