Do I Have TB if Infection is not Clearing?
Sir, my ESR is 64 or there is infection in the right region in the x-ray, do I have TB? And I am on antibiotics (IV Fluid) but the infection has still not gone down, so what should I do next?
Pulmonologist
Answered on 23rd July '24
You expressed worry about tuberculosis. TB affects blood test results like ESR, causing high readings. It creates infections visible on X-rays too. However, these signs are not exclusive to TB. Various infections or diseases produce similar effects. The antibiotics not clearing the infection is concerning. It suggests the need for different medication or further tests. Finding the root cause is vital.

Cough not cure for 2 years
Female | 39
A cough that has lasted for 2 years can be a serious issue that we need to investigate. It could be attributed to several causes such as asthma, allergies, or even acid reflux. Other symptoms such as chest pain or difficulty breathing might give us clues. It's essential to go to a doctor for proper assessment and treatment. Don't postpone, as controlling the main issue can promote the relief of that intractable cough.

Hello, good day. I have shortness of breath in the bronchi. My doctor prescribed me the inhaler Salbutamol and the tablet medicine allergy lesetrin lukastin ansimar. How long after using the inhaler can I drink these tablets? Is it harmful to use these medicines with an interval of 1 hour. Or how long between medicines? must be time.?
Kişi | 30
Asthma or allergies can be a cause of this. To open the airways quickly, Salbutamol inhalers play an important role. On the other hand, Leukotriene Modifiers such as Montelukast take longer working time as they reduce inflammation gradually over the airway passages. No problem if combined use is considered safe by the doctor. Both drugs follow medical prescriptions strictly.

Male | 75
Shortness of breath may be caused by several different problems such as asthma or lung infections. For the time being, you can give him some over-the-counter medications such as an inhaler that will help him to breathe more easily. It is necessary to observe his symptoms, and in case it continue, consult a pulmonologist.

Hi dr I’m asthma from childhood I use seretide 500/50 vantoline lumenta 10 mg Last week I will visit chest dr he give me azit 500 mg 3 day per week I have chest ct scan and X-ray normal I have cough my left side and sometimes sound
Male | 50
You use Seretide and Ventoline to help your symptoms. The cough on your left side might be from asthma. It's good that the CT scan and X-ray of your chest were normal. Your chest doctor likely gave you the antibiotic Azit to fight lung infections. Take all the pills until they're gone, like the doctor said. If the cough gets worse or doesn't go away, see your pulmonologist again. They can check it out and give you a different treatment if needed.

I have lung infection which is caused by klebseilla pneumonia.. I found it a month ago! I have been taking medications my wheezing has stopped lately but i am having severe back pain and difficulty in swalloing food. Are these due to the same infection?
Female | 19
The severe hurt in your back and the trouble to swallow food may be from the infection in the lungs caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae. Sometimes, this infectious microorganism can circulate to other locations justifying the appearance of brand-new symptoms. The back pain might be a result of an inflammation, while the timing issue could be caused by throat irritation. Discussing these new symptoms with a pulmonologist is the first step to getting a suitable treatment.

This is actually about my mother. 5 days ago, she started having these flu-like symptoms; coughing, extreme fatigue, phlegm, wheezing, headache, chills, and fever. The fever is now gone, but she still has all the other symptoms. She had a chest x-ray that came back perfectly fine, and tested negative for COVID, so it’s not that. She hasn’t really improved, but she hasn’t gotten worse either. Could this be the flu?
Female | 68
The best thing you can do is make your mother rest, take a lot of fluids, and use drugs that can relieve her of any symptoms that are associated with over-the-counter. Make sure she takes syrup, water, tea, etc. to keep herself hydrated especially since she might not have much desire for them due to coughs being experienced hence causing dry throat. Please visit a pulmonologist for further treatment.

Asthma and bronchitis ki problem hai
Male | 25
Asthma and bronchitis are both breathing problems. These are symptoms of respiratory diseases such as coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, etc. Asthma is a condition that can be provoked by allergies, exercise, or cold weather, while bronchitis is mostly caused by viruses or smoking. It would be helpful to follow your medication regime, steer clear of triggers such as smoke or pollution, and live a healthy lifestyle through proper nutrition and regular exercise.

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.

Had a chest xray for a cough/chest congestion that has lingered for a week. Do I have to take a zpak if no bronchitis or pneumonia was seen on xray?
Female | 47
A chest x-ray may rule out pneumonia or bronchitis but whether the prescription is appropriate remains questionable. In case you have a persistent cough and chest congestion, it is recommended that a pulmonologist should be consulted for further examination and treatment.

Heavy dry cough last 2 hours
Female | 20
A heavy, dry cough can happen for various reasons. Maybe you caught a cold. Or, maybe you have allergies. Some irritants in the air might be causing it. For relief, drink warm liquids like tea with honey. A humidifier could help too, by making the air less dry. However, if the coughing persists, it's wise to consult a pulmonologist. They'll examine you and guide managing this annoying symptom.

Flu , cold and temperature

The effects of flu, cold, and temperature elevations are common in winter. These symptoms are basically due to viral occasions and hence, they can be treated through the use of over-the-counter drugs and rest. See a general physician or a pulmonologist as this would be the best option.

Male | 22
It appears that you may be experiencing some worrying side effects as a result of using beclomethasone dipropionate and levosalbutamol sulfate rotocaps for your asthma. Rapid weight loss, reduced penis size, and low semen volume can be linked to these drugs’ long-term usage. These particular adverse reactions are probably caused by the steroids contained in the medication affecting your system. Hence, you should inform your physician about them so they can prescribe you a more suitable treatment plan for your asthma which won’t have these effects. Besides, the doctor might also recommend ways of gaining weight and supporting overall well-being.

Shows bravascilar prominent in lung field done ct scan show focal fibroatelectatic in right lobe and middle right lobe and lingula done pulmonary function test it shows breathing patterns changes and doctor says it's normal you're fine while. I'm not feeling well
Female | 24
The focally fibroatelectatic area seen on the x-ray of your right lung may be causing the symptoms you are having. Although irregular breathing patterns have been observed, pulmonary function tests are normal. This may happen because of trapped air in your lungs. Consult a pulmonologist and discuss your test results so that further evaluation and treatment can be done.

It looks like your sister has started to feel a little strange after having a bronchoscopy done which is a procedure used for checking the airways in the lungs. The prickling sensations, red hands, and other things might mean that the nerves are getting pinched or there is swelling somewhere. She needs to see a pulmonologist so they can find out what’s wrong with her. They might have some tests done or give her some medicine for it depending on how bad off she is.

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.

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.
