How serious is pleural thickening?
Recently I have been diagnosed with pleural thickening RT CP in x-ray

Pulmonologist
Answered on 23rd May '24
Pleural fibrosis results in thickening of the lungs lining and further development of breath problems and other symptoms. It may occur as a result of several different things like being exposed to asbestos or being infected by a certain bacterium or virus. I will recommend you see a pulmonodigist who can assess the exact condition and recommend a proper treatment plan.

Seene balgam jam gaya he bacche k wo khas raha he ceclor drops diya 3 din hogaye pr balgam nahi nikal raha ulti hojae ya pooti k zarya nikal jae
Male | 2 month
Bacche mein balgam jamne se khaansi, thaaki, ya breathing mein dikkat ho sakti hai. Yeh aksar viral infections ke natije mein hota hai. Ceclor drops do din se diye hain, lekin agar improvement nahi ho raha, to kuch aur samasya ho sakti hai. Aap garam paani ya steam breathing se comfort de sakte hain. Agar bacche ka khana-pina ya neend disturb hai, ya phir koi aur serious symptoms hain, to zaroor doctor se milna chahiye. Achi tarah se diagnose karna aur sahi treatment lena zaroori hai.

I have been suffering from a cough for the past five months. My current ESR value is 65. Is this normal, or could it indicate TB. (TB)?
Female | 32
A persistent cough lasting several months can have various causes, ranging from infections to allergies. An elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) indicates inflammation in the body but does not specifically point to tuberculosis (TB). Common symptoms of TB include prolonged cough, weight loss, fever, and night sweats. It’s essential to consult a pulmonologist for an accurate diagnosis and personalized care. Tests may be needed to determine the root cause of your symptoms.

I am having fever and cough for about 30 hours, I am taking paracetamol, I am feeling relief for 4-5 hours, then I am waking up like this, and I am also coughing.
Male | 24
It could be a respiratory infection that is giving you a fever and cough. Such infections can be due to viruses and bacteria. Paracetamol can reduce your fever usefully, while coughing is your airways' way of trying to clean themselves. Encourage your body to be healthy by drinking lots of fluids and getting enough sleep. If the last couple of days haven't been the best for you and you feel even worse than before, then it is time to consult a pulmonologist.

I'm suffering with sudden breathless at night
Female | 24
Nighttime breathing troubles can feel frightening. Airways narrowing from asthma is one potential cause, making inhalation difficult. Heart conditions and anxiety disorders are other possibilities leading to this issue. Consulting a pulmonologist is vital for precise diagnosis and suitable treatment recommendation, enabling improved nocturnal respiration.

Hi doctor, my name is KALLOL Mondal, and I am 22 years old and my weight is around 65 KG. So, it's been two years since I have been smoking cigarettes, but for the last two months, I have stopped smoking. So my question is, how do I recover my lungs like a normal healthy person from the damage so far?
Male | 22
To aid lung recovery, focus on a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables, which contain antioxidants that help repair lung tissue. Engage in regular aerobic exercises, such as walking or cycling, to improve lung function and stamina. Stay hydrated to help clear out toxins. Additionally, practicing deep breathing exercises can enhance lung capacity. While many experience improvements over time, if you notice any persistent symptoms like coughing or shortness of breath, please consult a pulmonologist for personalized advice.

Weldon sir/ma, I am issues with breathing and sometimes too I have chest pain, sometimes when I stand. I was told to do an x-ray to figure it out but the test results came out anf everything seemed normal, but I am still having issues.
Male | 15
You reported breathing difficulties, chest discomfort when standing, despite normal X-ray results. This could indicate asthma, anxiety, or acid reflux issues. I advise discussing additional testing with your doctor, such as lung function evaluation or electrocardiogram (ECG). These further examinations may provide insight into the underlying cause, allowing appropriate treatment.

Breathing problems since 3-4 days only in night
Female | 20
Many people struggle with breathing issues at night. Nighttime breathing troubles arise from various causes. Common reasons include allergies, asthma, or a room filled with dust. Coughing, wheezing, and feeling short of breath often occur. To improve air quality, keep your bedroom clean and dust-free. Using an air purifier can also help. However, if problems persist, see a pulmonologist without delay. They can evaluate your condition and provide appropriate treatment.

Hello I am 20 years old i have cough, flowing nose and chest pain while coughing since from last 2 days what should I do now I didn't get any relief from that which medicine should I prefer
Male | 20
It seems you may be experiencing symptoms of a respiratory infection, which can cause cough, nasal congestion, and chest discomfort. To find relief, consider staying hydrated, using over-the-counter medications like cough suppressants or decongestants, and resting as much as possible. Warm teas or steam inhalation can also soothe your throat and help with congestion. However, if the symptoms persist beyond a few days, worsen, or if you experience fever, it's crucial to seek medical advice. A pulmonologist can provide a proper diagnosis and recommend effective treatment tailored to your needs.

A little pain on right side chest after smoking. the pain goes away only If i stop smoking for atleast 10 days. the pain starts as soon as I start smoking again.

If you think your chest pain is due to smoking, then you must stop smoking to reduce the risk further. Get a thorough evaluation done by a cardiologist or pulmonologist for further treatment.

103° temperature and throat and cough
Male | 19
A 103°F temperature along with a sore throat and cough can mean that you have been infected with a virus such as the flu or a cold. Most of the time, these as well originated at the side of the body virus. Your body temperature goes higher to attack the infection. However, the infection can be fought by high fluid intakes, enough sleep, and taking over-the-counter drugs. So if there is no improvement after 2-3 days you may need to see your pulmonologist.

I had cancer with a thymoma gland - and it was removed by surgery - and I received 3 doses of chemotherapy protocol V I B - then a small tumor appeared in the right lung - and I took 3 sessions of radiation therapy - then the size of the tumor in the right lung increased to 14 cm - and I took 6 chemotherapy sessions (ganzara). Please, can I find a suitable treatment for you, please?
Male | 31
Lung metastases from cancer can result in cough, dyspnea, and chest pain. The therapy you underwent has been difficult, but it is worrying that the tumor in your right lung has increased so much. In this context, further investigation and possibly intervention such as surgery, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy might be the next step. It is crucial to consult your doctor about your case to determine the optimal path.

Female | 38
You might have a severe lung infection that is causing you difficulty in breathing. This infection is indicated by a high fever, headache, coughing, and chest pains. If for a few minutes, you cannot breathe, it can be dangerous. Therefore, you should immediately consult a physician so that they may help make you feel better and ensure that you can breathe well.

Mujhe lungs me hydatid cyst and bronchitis hua tha uska surgery huye 90 day hua sahi tha sab pta nhi kyu khasi aur thoda pain ho rha starch ke side me
Male | 23
You had surgery in your lungs and bronchitis 90 days ago to get rid of a hydatid cyst. It's normal to have a cough and some pain even after surgery. Coughing could be leftover irritation in your lungs that causes the problem. The pain could be your body still healing. Rest, drink plenty of fluids, and follow up with your pulmonologist to ensure everything is okay.

Male | 28
Post-nasal drip could cause your discomfort. Excess mucus draining down your throat can make you cough and feel sinus pressure around your forehead area. Food consumption might trigger it. Staying hydrated by drinking water regularly, and using saline nasal spray, could alleviate these symptoms.

I’m on a medication that causes hyperkalemia if I take NSAIDs with it. I have very high inflammation, Doctors have prescribed Naproxen, Ibuprofen, Toradol and Meloxicam. They all made me ill for days. Is there any medication for inflammation that won’t interact with Hyperkalemia?
Female | 39
You are having’ medications that are causing issues with your potassium levels. You need to avoid NSAIDs such as Naproxen, Ibuprofen, Toradol, and Meloxicam because they can aggravate your high potassium levels. You may discuss with your doctor the possibility of using Acetaminophen or Celecoxib medications, as they usually do not affect potassium levels. Consult your doctor before making any changes to your medication routine.
