How can I clear throat cough after brain stroke?

My grandfather age is 69 before 4 months he had second brain stroke now he has cough in his throat which not come out from his mouth so please doctor how to remove cough from throat

1 Answer

Answered on 5th Aug '24

Your grandfather is likely experiencing throat congestion, which is common among stroke people. This could be caused by the fact that after a stroke, a person may have difficulty swallowing. When we swallow, the cough should come out of the mouth. Be sure to hydrate him by drinking lots of fluids. A speech therapist who can teach exercises to improve swallowing and coughing should be seen. Apart from that, he will also be able to make the cough from his throat disappear.

I have been using sudafed nasal spray for about 5 days for a nasal drip. I stopped yesterday and have been feeling extremely congested like my sinus is swollen. Could this be rebound congestion? I've been using sinus rinse and a little relief but just feels like there could be some swelling

Male | 40

You could be suffering from rebound congestion. This is common when people use nasal sprays such as Sudafed for more than a couple of days. It may cause you to have swollen nasal passages with a feeling of being more congested. The saline sinus rinse is excellent at relieving the swelling. It's best to avoid overusing the nasal spray to prevent rebound congestion.

I have stuffy and runny nose since 3 weeks, have been using decongestants that provided some relief, but since last 3 days it is worse, continues runny nose all day, at the same time the nose is stuffy and heavy. Mucus from runny nose is mostly clear. In the morning I might cough out some yellow mucus.

Female | 37

You may have sinusitis or a sinus infection. Stuffy and runny nose with clear mucus are common symptoms of sinusitis. The yellow mucus that you cough up in the morning is a sign that it may be bacterial. To relieve congestion, try applying a warm compress across your face and seek medical attention for further assessment.

Feeling repeated sound in ear when someone says something and having history of ringing in years

Male | 18

You might have a medical condition known as "tinnitus". It can be accompanied by ringing in the ears and even the illusion of hearing someone else’s voice echoing. Causes could be exposure to loud noises, ear infections, or even stress. In this regard, you should reduce your exposure to environmental noise, stress-excessively manage your life without resorting to medicines, and use background noise.

I am a 17 male who is visiting France from the US. I just got to France yesterday, but was in UK for 9 days before that. Yesterday, my dad started experiencing symptoms, and today, my mom, my sister, and I are all experiencing symptoms as well. My main symptom is sore throat and difficulty swallowing. As a tourist, our options are limited. I have started taking OTC Humex Rhume to help with symptoms.

Male | 17

You and your family may have caught a cold virus, which is highly contagious when people are in close contact. Some symptoms that come along with having a cold include a sore throat and trouble swallowing. Taking over-the-counter Humex Rhume can relieve these symptoms. Make sure to drink lots of fluids and get plenty of rest.

Hello. I am 21 years old male. Last night I took a tablet for tooth ache and after taking I was feeling that it is still stuck in my throat. After a hour I went to sleep with the same feeling that the tablet is stuck in my throat. I am a bit confused that while I am sleeping the tablet may have entered the windpipe instead of food pipe. Is it possible that it entered the windpipe while I am sleeping and not letting me know that it had entered the windpipe. I would be really grateful to know the answer.

Male | 21

When a tablet feels stuck in the throat, it is usually in the esophagus instead of the trachea. You would cough a lot if it got into the windpipe. Sometimes, it can be a feeling of something getting stuck in the throat because the tablet is dissolved for some time. Drinking water may assist it in its journey downward. However, if you experience difficulty breathing or acute pain, get medical treatment as soon as possible.

Having pain in right side of lymph node under jaw from couple of days, the pain increases while chewing and swallowing food. I can feel the lymph node with my fingers it also has an aching feeling and the pain and uneasiness remains constant, have not taken any medicines yet.

Male | 40

It's important to get evaluated by an ENT specialist for the pain in your right lymph node under the jaw, especially if it worsens with chewing and swallowing. This could indicate an infection or inflammation that needs prompt attention. Avoid delaying and seek medical advice for proper diagnosis and treatment tailored to your symptoms.

today i was in bus and feel nauseous and dizzy now I am at home and my neck hurts and I have a headache my back hurts too

Female | 29

Motion sickness can strike­ when traveling makes you unste­ady. Feeling dizzy and sick might mean you're­ experiencing it mildly. On buse­s, those sensations disrupt your balance. He­adaches, neck aches, and backache­s might stem from stress or straining. To recove­r, lie down somewhere­ quiet and dark.
