Is Montoux Positive but X-Ray Negative, and Sputum Test Inconclusive: Do I Have TB?
Sir mujhe montoux positive aaya hai but x-ray me abhi TB show nhi hua h or TB confirm ke liye sputum test me balgam bhi nhi aa rha hai to kya mujhe TB hai ya nhi
Pulmonologist
Answered on 23rd May '24
TB bacteria encountered in the body results in a positive Montoux test, but the test does not determine TB disease. Your lungs appear normal on the chest X-ray and sputum test, which indicates that you may not have active TB disease. On the other hand, it is suggested along with a pulmonologist the more specific diagnosis and administration of treatment.

Hello, I am 30 years old. I have shortness of breath in the bronchi. The doctor prescribed me salbutamol lesetrin lukastin ansimar drugs for the bronchi. Can I masturbate while using these drugs?
Kişi | 30
Short breath in the air tubes can come from things like asthma or lung illness. The meds your doc gave you, like salbutamol, lesetrin, lukastin, and ansimar, help open up the air tubes and cut swelling. Touching yourself likely won't impact your issue or how well the meds work. Just follow what your doctor says and take the meds as told.

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.

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.

I have RSV how bad is it for an adult like me I'm 37 and I started getting sick on Monday and how long does it take for it to go away and could it kill me and how long does the coughing go for and will the coughing stop in how long before this RSV will get out of my system
Female | 37
RSV causes breathing trouble for grown-ups. With a cough, runny nose, fever and hard breathing, it can be rough. But most feel better in 1-2 weeks without treatment. It rarely kills healthy adults yet can be severe for some. The annoying cough may continue for weeks after the other symptoms fade. Resting up, drinking fluids, and symptom relief medications help most recover.

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.

I wanna talk about chest infection
Male | 55
A chest infection happens when germs enter the lungs. Breathing becomes difficult. You might cough constantly, feel short of breath, and experience chest discomfort. Viruses or bacteria frequently cause this condition. To alleviate symptoms, get plenty of rest, drink water regularly, and use a humidifier. Additionally, inhaling steam or taking warm showers can provide relief. However, if symptoms worsen, it's crucial to seek medical attention from a pulmonologist.

My grandmother is diagnosed with Pulmonary edema. We need to immediately taker her to Gurgaon which 5 hrs journey from our hometown. Can u please suggest some preliminary care/ tips for her immediate relief. Also like to know if this disease is curable?
Female | 80
This occurs when fluid collects in the air sacs of the lungs. Signs may include shortness of breath, problems breathing, coughs, or wheezing sounds. To make her more comfortable on the trip to Gurgaon, try to sit her up and give oxygen if it is available then keep her as calm as possible. In most cases, drugs are given as treatment for pulmonary edema which works by getting rid of extra fluids from the lungs besides dealing with its root cause like heart failure. Proper health care can help control signs but the urgent need for a pulmonologist's attention is necessary.

Severe cough body chest pain
Female | 41
Coughing so hard together with chest pain can be due to one thing or another such as a bad cold flu, or pneumonia which could be even worse. To get through this better, make sure you get enough sleep, drink a lot of fluids, and consider using a humidifier. However, if your symptoms are the same, consult a pulmonologist.

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.

Female | 24
You seem to have caught a respiratory infection. Symptoms like throat pain, phlegmy cough, fatigue, and mild fever often come with it. Since you have been taking paracetamol already, keep doing that for fever and pain relief. Also, try gargling warm salt water and resting up. If things don't improve or worsen, it's best to see a pulmonologist for further checks.

I believe I have a pretty nasty cold or possibly flu-lke virus and i just want to make sure that my symptoms dont require further medical intervention. It started Friday night 03/22/24 with a severe sore throat, post nasal drip, and diarrhea. The progression of symptoms has gone from severe throat pain to pain and congestion/runniness and dry bloody sinuses with a sinus headache, to some sinus congestion/runniness with coughing. I do not have a sore throat now and i dont have diarrhea but i do have nausea which ive had the whole time but it seems a little worse now, and i have significant fatigue and muscle weakness. My eyes are also dry and crusty and very bloodshot. Im not really having trouble breathing, and ive had a very low grade fever/no fever throughout the entire duration of this illness.
Female | 23
It appears a viral infection, like flu, troubles you. The sore throat, post nasal drip, diarrhea, sinus issues, cough, nausea, and fatigue - all common viral signs. Stay hydrated well; rest up properly; use saline rinses or OTC meds for symptomatic reprieve. If symptoms worsen or concerns arise, consult a pulmonologist promptly.
