Answered on 8th Oct '24
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.

Hello doctor my name is Rakesh and I'm 17 year old,doctor from 5 to 6 days I have problem in breathing I breath properly from my nose but I feel it's not sufficient then I try hard for breathing then I fill a little lightness in chest
Male | 17
When you can't breathe easily through your nose and your chest is light, the symptoms might be asthma, anxiety, or even a lung infection. For a correct diagnosis, it is crucial to visit a pulmonologist. You can remain calm, sit up straight, and breathe slowly instead of this. If your symptoms get worse, you have to go to the doctor immediately.

I gradually noticed black mucus and blood spots while cough I had completed 6 months tb medicine
Female | 23
It's understandable to be concerned about noticing dark mucus and blood while coughing, especially after completing your tuberculosis treatment. These symptoms may occur due to irritation in the airways, residual effects of the infection, or other underlying issues. It's important to monitor your symptoms closely. I strongly encourage you to consult a pulmonologist for an evaluation. They can conduct tests to determine the cause and suggest appropriate treatment.

Facing breathing problem & will last for 5 to 10mins. Faced this issue before 2times
Female | 26
Asthma may be the cause of your breathing problems, making it feel like your lungs aren't functioning properly. This condition can lead to symptoms such as wheezing and coughing. Common triggers include allergies and exercise. If prescribed by your doctor, an inhaler can help open your airways and ease breathing difficulties. If you don't notice any improvement within a few days, consult a pulmonologist.

Female | 27
Persistent coughing, alongside recurring fever and nasal bleeding, can be concerning. These symptoms might result from various factors, such as allergies, infections, or underlying conditions. It's vital to stay hydrated, use a humidifier, and try saltwater gargles to soothe your throat. However, due to the duration and combination of your symptoms, you should consult a pulmonologist. They can provide a thorough examination and necessary tests to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.

Fever cold and cough from 3 days.
Male | 28
You might have a common cold. A cold is generally referred to as a runny nose, sneezing, sore throat, cough, and other symptoms. It is caused by a virus that spreads from one person to the other with minimal contact or any. To make you feel better, be sure to drink plenty of water and get lots of rest, you may also use OTC medicines that help with symptoms like a sore throat and dizziness. However, if it does not improve in a few days, visit a pulmonologist.

I have had a low-grade fever on and off for about 6 days, cough with blood in mucus sometimes, although it may be blood from my nosebleed, and sore throat what could be the cause?
Male | 20
You might have a chest cold. That makes you cough and feel hot. The red stuff from your nose or throat could be from bleeding. But you should go to a pulmonologist to check. Be sure to drink a lot of water and juice. And rest as much as you can. Use a humidifier too. It puts water in the air so your throat does not get dry.

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.

The pain you are experiencing is because of pneumonia. Follow up with your doctor to evaluate and ensure that the pneumonia has been fully treated. Your pulmonologist may perform additional tests or imaging to know the cause of your pain and provide appropriate treatment.

Im 25 years and I have lymph node in underarms and it's slightly painful with fever doctor says it's TB but there are no as symptoms as of now
Male | 25
Lymph nodes can become sore due to infections or inflammation, and a fever indicates that your body is reacting to something. These common examples could be caused by tuberculosis, and what if there are no other signs? It’s crucial to follow your doctor's advice, as they will likely recommend tests to confirm the diagnosis. The process should include bed rest, hydration, and stress management. Please schedule a follow-up appointment to discuss your treatment options and any additional symptoms.

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.

I was smoking. But I quit smoking till 2 days. Now I'm facing difficulties of breathing.
Male | 24
Experiencing shortness of breath after stopping smoking is a typical occurrence. Your body is getting used to the new environment. This may be because your lungs are now getting rid of the waste that can be left after smoking. It is a positive indicator that your body is on the way to recovery. Attempt to resume the procedure by breathing slowly and drinking water. If the problem doesn't go away, visit a pulmonologist.

Breathing problem not able to eat food feel uncomfortable
Female | 63
You might have asthma, a medical problem where breathing is difficult and eating becomes hard. Typical symptoms of the illness are an inability to breathe normally and the chest feeling tight. Asthma, a chronic respiratory illness, can be aggravated by allergies to house dust or animal hair. Medication issued by the doctor, avoiding triggers, and taking smaller meals can be the ways to cope with this. It is essential to take advice from a pulmonologist for the appropriate treatment.

The last 3 nights I have woken up choking for air. I'm really scared this night be sleep apnea although my symptoms are more like acid reflux. I'm 38 and very slim. Do you think this is a low chance?
Female | 38
At 20 and 130 pounds, sleep apnea is less likely but possible. However, acid reflux can cause similar choking feelings. Reflux happens when stomach acid backs up into the food pipe. To help: avoid heavy, spicy meals before bed. Raise the head of your bed. Eat smaller meals during the day. Talk to a pulmonologist if you're still concerned.

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.

Male | 23
The chest discomfort, shortness of breath, and confusion may stem from the body's reaction to cannabis, especially for a first-time user. Smoking can also contribute to respiratory issues. It's crucial to stay calm. Ensure you’re in a comfortable setting and hydrate. If symptoms persist or worsen, I recommend reaching out to a pulmonologist for a thorough evaluation. Professional support is invaluable in addressing your concerns and ensuring your well-being.

My son has a cough but it's not often he doesn't have a fever, he's energetic but it takes a long time before the cough goes away should I still be worried? He has already taken antibiotics
Female | 27
A persistent cough can occur due to various reasons, such as allergies or a lingering viral infection. While antibiotics treat bacterial infections, they won't help if the cause is viral. Keep him hydrated and consider using a humidifier to ease his throat. If the cough lasts more than a few weeks or worsens, I recommend consulting a pulmonologist for proper evaluation. They can provide guidance tailored to his specific condition.
