Answered on 27th Jan '25

It's understandable to be concerned about noticing dark mucus and blood while coughing, especially after completing your tuberculosis treatment. These symptoms may occur due to irritation in the airways, residual effects of the infection, or other underlying issues. It's important to monitor your symptoms closely. I strongly encourage you to consult a pulmonologist for an evaluation. They can conduct tests to determine the cause and suggest appropriate treatment.

My name is Amal 31 years old. I have some breathing problem and using Serflo 125 synchrobreathe. now in heavy rain i have cold and cough please suggest best medicine for nebulizer

Male | 31

Serflo 125 synchrobreathe is good but you need something more. You may want to try using Budecort respules with your nebulizer. These will help reduce any swelling inside your air passages which should make them wider and easier to breathe through. Do not forget about following the prescribed dosage exactly as instructed. But do visit your doctor before starting the medication.

my name is nikhil my age is 20 I have fever and cough I am having fever day and night since last 3 days. I have squinted in the rain many times

Male | 20

Fever and cough are typically part of the body's natural defense against infection. When you get wet in the rain, your body gets cold, which makes it a lot easier to catch a cold. Keep it warm, drink a lot of fluids, get some rest, and you can also take some over-the-counter fever medicine if you like. If your symptoms become more severe or worsen, visit a doctor.

I was not feeling well for 2-3 days after that i got 103° F fever and one day later i got constant chest pain that is not going since 2 days along with throat, nose and chest congestion. I am not any diabetics patient. My fever is ok now after still chest pain and congestion in nose, throat is not going completely and also i am feeling tired.

Female | 45

A respiratory infe­ction probably caused your symptoms. Fever, che­st pain, congestion in throat, nose, and chest, along with tire­dness. Viruses or bacteria usually cause­ these infections. Re­st up, drink lots of fluids, and use over-the-counte­r meds for congestion and pain relie­f if needed. But if symptoms pe­rsist or worsen, see a doctor.

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.

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.

I am using beclomethasone dipropionate and levosalbutamol sulphate rotocaps for my asthama i have asthma since i was 3 years old and that much of long term i am using it from 5 months facing severe asthama and using the rotocaps in frequently and i am losing my body weight very fastly and it is very tough to me to gain weight and my penis size also decreasing and also sperm low quantity is that the side effects for using it in long term and tell me the perfect solution for all me questions to over come it and live healthy without medication

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.

From past 10 days I was having severe cough and cold, I somehow got better with the treatment that doctor gave me. But from past two days I have been experiencing shortness of breath followed by rigorous vomiting and cough somewhere between nose and throat and not exactly in nose and throat which is causing it difficult to pass out. This cough is causing me breathlessness and making me spit again and again with vomiting What is this cough between nose and throat? Is it sinus?

Female | 21

Your symptoms suggest postnasal drip. It's cause­d by nasal mucus draining down your throat, triggering coughs, throat-clearing, eve­n vomiting. You feel like bre­athing is hard and need to spit freque­ntly. Staying hydrated and using a humidifier could provide re­lief.
