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.

My daughter has had a pretty bad cough since Wednesday. We know it’s bronchitis, but we need some over-the-counter medicine for her to take. Do you have any recommendations?

Female | 13

if this is bronchitis, the problem is that there may be some swelling inside her lungs’ airways. It causes coughing, mucus and sometimes fever too. Give her lots of water to drink and let her have enough bed rest. Additionally, consider buying an OTC cough syrup with dextromethorphan for her. This will relieve the irritation in the throat making the cough less frequent and more productive. Do not exceed the recommended dose on the label without consulting a doctor or pharmacist first.

Male | 26

Medications for TB commonly bring about changes in mood such as crankiness. Having junk meals while under TB drugs could worsen the situation. Ensure your brother eats nourishing food. If he still gets angry easily, you should consult his doctor.

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.

I'm 19 years old female I'm facing when season change make breathing start fast and breathing makes noise and I'm get breathless while walking... I have allergy

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.
