Taking medicines didn't help you feel better, that's concerning. Colds, coughs and fevers are often viral, requiring tailored treatment. Stay hydrated, well-rested and nourished. However, revisit your doctor for re-evaluation. Tests may reveal the issue, allowing adjusted treatment. Struggling through illness alone risks complications.

Male | 34

It's understandable to feel concerned when your child has a high temperature and is struggling to breathe. These symptoms can indicate an infection, such as a cold or respiratory illness. It’s essential to monitor his temperature and breathing patterns. Keeping him hydrated and comfortable is key. Use a cool, damp cloth to help with fever. Ensure the air is humidified, which can ease breathing. However, it’s crucial to consult a pediatrician for a thorough evaluation and tailored treatment. They can provide the best guidance for his recovery and ensure he receives appropriate care.

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.

Male | 22

She may be suffering from chest pain due to costochondritis. This occurs when the cartilage in the chest gets inflamed in cold weather. It can cause a sudden pain inside the chest. To ease the pain, she can use warm compresses, take pain relievers like ibuprofen, and avoid activities that aggravate the pain. If the pain does not go away or becomes more severe, she should consult a pulmonologist for further treatment.

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?

Female | 23

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.

I am 52 yr old female patient. I'm suffering with dry cough and wheezing since 4 days. What should I do now?

Female | 52

You are having a hard time with a dry cough and wheezing. These symptoms could be signs of a respiratory infection or asthma. You may have a dry cough due to irritation in your throat. Wheezing is a high-pitched whistling sound usually produced when the airways are narrowed. To relieve your symptoms, you can use a humidifier, drink warm liquids, avoid triggers like smoke or strong odors, and stay hydrated. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it would be wise to visit a pulmonologist.

Male | 30

These are all signs of some breathing bug like cold or flu. Right now what will help most is to drink plenty of liquids, stay in bed as long as possible, and take something like Tylenol for the pain. If you don’t start feeling better soon or if things get worse instead, then go to a doctor to take a look at what’s going on with your body.

Iam 22 year old male I have common cold symptoms and I took antibiotics and analgesics But I had a cough when I put my head in pillow and excessive salivation

Male | 22

It seems that you are going through common cold symptoms such as a continuous cough when lying down and an increase in saliva. These signs usually result from nasal congestion or irritation of the throat. Even though antibiotics are efficient in destroying bacterial infections, they will not have any effect on viral diseases such as the common cold. There are also easy remedies available for OTC ones and combination with good hydration will relieve discomfort. If can't recur, if you encounter shortness of breath, or if you continue to have too much saliva, please confer with a pulmonologist for a complete review. Always, assuming the proper course by asking for good advice is a good way to get the right information and care.

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.

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’ve been having a issue since morning tho I’m asthmatic when I feel the pain I use inhaler it stops and later I feel it again

Male | 22

Asthma causes breathing difficulties like chest pain and shortness of breath. If you use your inhaler and feel better, that medicine is opening your airways. However, when symptoms return, it may mean asthma isn't fully controlled. You likely need to see a pulmonologist who can adjust your treatment plan. The right treatment helps manage asthma symptoms properly.

I believe I was inaccurately diagnosed with BA asthma. Two weeks ago I had the flu and it was a bad episode as I was exposed to cold air. For the past year or so, it got difficult for me to exercise regularly as I used to do and while climbing the stairs as well. I have coughing fits that sound strange like it's deep from the lungs. I don't think I have wheezing but I got a whistle like sound whenever I'm exhaling through my nose not mouth. The doctor prescribed to me the circular purple inhaler yet I use the blue one called vintolen as I'm concerned. The spirometry test results were normal. I want to know whether I have asthma and should use the inhaler or not as the fits increase by being exposed to smoke and so on.

Female | 23

It sounds like you've been experiencing significant respiratory symptoms that can be concerning. Coughing fits, especially when they worsen with exposure to irritants like smoke, can suggest an underlying condition, potentially including asthma. While your spirometry results were normal, it’s essential to discuss your ongoing symptoms with your pulmonologist. They can reassess your diagnosis and the appropriateness of your inhaler.

I am a 20 year old male who has been having chest pains for the past week. They have come and go and spread through my chest and shoulders to my back. They are typically sharp or dull and can occur when I take a deep breath but feel better while I exercise. I had this before and had two x rays in the past and an x ray today to check if there was anything wrong with my lungs and evertime, my doctors assured me I am fine. I heard that x rays can miss lung cancer.

Male | 20

X-rays are generally effective in detecting lung conditions, but they may not always identify all potential issues, and early stages lung cancer. However it's important to note that chest pain can have various causes, and lung cancer is relatively rare, especially in young individuals. Consider discussing your concerns with your doctor who can evaluate your symptoms and recommend further tests or referrals to address your chest pains. They are in the best position to provide appropriate guidance based on your individual situation.
