Should I Worry if My Child's Cough Persists?
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
Pulmonologist
Answered on 21st Jan '25
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.

Hi doctor, Yesterday i spent around 35 minutes sitting and talking to a MDR TB patient who has been taking medications for 5 months. I am worried about exposure. Pls guide me.
Female | 19
Hanging around someone with MDR TB can understandably be unnerving. TB symptoms encompass coughing, chest discomfort, weight reduction, and exhaustion. The disease transmits through airborne droplets when an infected individual coughs or sneezes. To play it safe, schedule an appointment with your doctor for a TB test. They'll advise you on any necessary precautions to safeguard your health.

Could cough with mucus & Chest Block
Female | 28
This may be either a cold virus or a respiratory infection. The mucus you are coughing up is your body's mechanism of clearing out microbes. The liquids, humidifiers, cough medicine without a prescription, and the physician's instructions might assist you in handling the symptoms. You can drink fluids, use a humidifier, or take over-the-counter cough medicine to reduce the symptoms.

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.

My lungs crackling only for 2-3 min, before 1 month i had dry cough and cold
Female | 22
If you’ve had a dry cough and cold recently, it seems like you might have some crackling in your lungs. This is normal. The sound could mean there is still mucus present. To remedy the situation, drink more water and practice breathing exercises. If it persists or worsens, take time off work so your body can recover.

Remedy for severe asthmatic attack
Female | 38
Feeling an asthma attack is frightening. Your breaths shorten, wheezing comes, coughing increases, tightness squeezes your chest. Airways swell, becoming narrow during attacks. To ease severe attacks: inhale from a rescue inhaler, sit upright, stay calm. If symptoms don't improve quickly, seek emergency care immediately.

I have a cold or flu or covid and my asthma is a lot worse than it has ever been. I am wheezing constantly and my reliever inhaler is not reducing the wheeze at all. I have a lot of mucus stuck in my chest and constantly coughing does not seem to be getting rid of the mucus and I think the mucus is causing me to wheeze constantly
Female | 34
Wheezing may be due to the mucus in your chest that is obstructing the air passage. The coughing may not be enough to dislodge the mucus. Adherence to your inhaler prescription is crucial. Sipping enough fluids and taking a humidifier can ease the mucus. Get medical help from a pulmonologist if the situation gets worse.

i'm been detect have influenza. Tamiflu are no longer have used to me. May i know any other medicine or option that can reduce the effect of influenza?
Male | 27
The flu is caused by a virus, not bacteria. It can make you feel sick with symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, and body aches. Since taking Tamiflu is not in the picture anymore, it is vital that you take good rest, drink lots of water, and take pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen to help get rid of the symptoms. These help to relieve illness and severe pain. Make sure to stay at home and avoid infecting other people with flu.

Hello, i have aasthma since my childhood, im in my 20's now and thinking to add l arigine in my daily routine, 2.5gm daily. Will it be harmful or alright to counsume it?
Male | 23
L-arginine can assist certain individuals in their breathing, but for those with asthma, it might not be the optimal choice. L-arginine can set off asthma attacks in some people, rendering one to gasp more. It is crucial to consult your physician before commencing any novel supplement, particularly if you have asthma.

Male | 47
One of the causes of persistent coughing may be. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), deteriorates the lungs over a period of time and leads to emphysema. This slowly causes breathlessness, persistent cough, and even vomiting because of continual irritation in the throat or bronchial tubes. The tests determined by a pulmonologist will set the diagnosis and based on the results of those tests the treatment plan will be.

Female | 20
Oh no, now you have been in this bad condition for quite a long time! Having problems like coughing, fever with episodes of normal conditions, and sore throat can really make your life hard. Viruses are the main cause of these symptoms in life. Keep your body hydrated, and take breaks, just eat nutritious meals. Maintain a certain distance and instruct people to cover their coughs and sneezes. If it persists or worsens, consulting a pulmonologist is an essential thing to do.

Hi, I have put aquaphor in my nose for 2 years every night. I have recently stopped but wanted to know if I have it in my lungs i am really worried about it.
Female | 17
Aquaphor should not be your only treatment for nose dryness as it is not intended for long-term use. If you had it in your lungs, you could have a cough, shortness of breath, or pain in your chest. If you notice any of these symptoms, it is wise to visit a pulmonologist. They will be able to check your lungs and give you the correct treatment.

Female | 14
Pleurisy could be causing your chest pain while breathing and your bad cough. It occurs when the lining of the lungs becomes inflamed, often due to infections like pneumonia or colds. Make sure to rest, stay hydrated, and take ibuprofen for relief. Visit a pulmonologist if your symptoms worsen.
