Answered on 19th June '24

A cough that is dry and lasts two months or more can be due to different factors. It's good that she is taking tablets and home remedies but if the cough still stays on, it would be best to consult a pulmonologist once again to have it properly diagnosed. Also, advise your grandma to drink lots of fluids, use a humidifier in the room, and if possible, turn her filled with irritants like smoke or dust.

From past 10 days I was having severe cough and cold, I somehow got better with the treatment that doctor gave me. But from past two days I have been experiencing shortness of breath followed by rigorous vomiting and cough somewhere between nose and throat and not exactly in nose and throat which is causing it difficult to pass out. This cough is causing me breathlessness and making me spit again and again with vomiting What is this cough between nose and throat? Is it sinus?

Female | 21

Your symptoms suggest postnasal drip. It's cause­d by nasal mucus draining down your throat, triggering coughs, throat-clearing, eve­n vomiting. You feel like bre­athing is hard and need to spit freque­ntly. Staying hydrated and using a humidifier could provide re­lief.

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.

I had intranasal MRSA and my doctor prescribed me mupricion. It actually made me contagious, why did that happen? Is it common

Female | 34

You could be handling MRSA bacteria which normally causes infections. When contracted, a drug known as Mupirocin is prescribed for treatment. The bacteria may become resistant if not used properly for a long time such that it even stops working, thereby rendering one more contagious. Take note of any symptoms such as increasing redness, swelling, or pain, and consult your physician. They might need to change your therapy to assist you in feeling better. Whenever you are using your medication ensure that you adhere to what your doctor has instructed or else you may encounter some complications.

When on ventilator no sedation. How to lower breathing.

Female | 65

When patients are on the ventilators it is common to give them a sedation to keep them comforable and to give them a relief from the pain. In most instances,the sedation is not required and in a few cases,the sedation might even turn out to be harmful. Likewise, if a patient will be taking off the ventilator should be in co-operation with a pulmonologist or respiratory specialist who adjusts the setting of the ventilator or administers other treatments such as medication.

Cold,cough,headache,fever,mucus in throat,weakness

Female | 21

Seems like you have caught a common cold which is caused by a virus. The symptoms of cough, headache, fever, mucus in the throat and feeling weak can be seen. To feel better try taking more liquid, rest and maybe over the counter drugs for colds. Seek medical advice if you do not improve after one week or if they become severe.
