Answered on 17th July '24
The tar and the other chemicals from smoking that are trapped in your lungs may cause you to have a black-colored cough. This means that the top layer of your lungs, which is trying to push out the harmful substances by coughing, is functioning properly. It's an indicator that the natural healing process of your body is working. To improve the condition of your lungs, it is critical to stop smoking and utilize water to clear out the tar that causes your cough.

Weldon sir/ma, I am issues with breathing and sometimes too I have chest pain, sometimes when I stand. I was told to do an x-ray to figure it out but the test results came out anf everything seemed normal, but I am still having issues.
Male | 15
You reported breathing difficulties, chest discomfort when standing, despite normal X-ray results. This could indicate asthma, anxiety, or acid reflux issues. I advise discussing additional testing with your doctor, such as lung function evaluation or electrocardiogram (ECG). These further examinations may provide insight into the underlying cause, allowing appropriate treatment.

Difficulty in breathing, production of mucus and chest congestion could be a result of a respiratory infection or an allergy. A pulmonologist should be consulted to diagnose and treat the condition.

Female | 15
you should see a pulmonologist to conduct tests for breathing problems. Also, you need to consult the gastroenterologist to assess your abdominal distension. Other consultations with a rheumatologist may also be necessary for your swollen fingers.

i am a 16 year old female. i suffer from breathing difficulties that only occur at night. it has been happening the past couple of nights. i vape. i possibly have anxiety.
Female | 16
In case you vape and feel nervous, this might be the thing that is exacerbating your distress. Vaping injures the lungs and causes breathing problems. Anxiety may also bring about a rare situation where one finds it hard to breathe. As an alternative try to keep away from as often as possible and have deep breath exercises to calm anxiety or chat with someone. If it keeps up make sure you obtain help from a healthcare professional.

TB, or tuberculosis is a disease caused by bacteria. To be effective, TB drugs are based on body weight. These medicines are isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide and ethambutol. The exact amounts required for treatment depend on your weight so doctors will give them to you accordingly Taking these drugs regularly for several months can help cure one of TB.

I am 17 year old female, I had a common cold that started with sore throat week ago and now I don't have a cold anymore, I didn't have cough during the cold (my throat was sore for the first 2 days but then on third day my nose started to be stuffy and I didn't have sore throat or cough at all). But like 2 days ago I started to feel not pain, but like weird sensation in area of bronchi, but its not pain, just like a sensation I feel when I breathe. Its not all the time but I noticed it. I don't have cough, or any other symptoms and my cold is like 90% gone at this point, but I don't know what that sensation might come from and I don't think its bronchitidis since I dont cough, I dont have fever, and I feel generally good, just sometimes when I breathe I feel that sensation in area of bronchi as I mentioned and it doesnt make me cough, just like sometimes to slightly make that cough sound but its not cough if you know what I mean. What could be the cause and how can I get rid of it? Also, I dont know if its going to help but I sleep on my left side every night and lately I think it caused me a bit of pain in shoulder/upper chest area from being in that position all night long. So perhaps could It be caused my some pulled muscle or something from sleeping in wrong position ? Thank you for your answer.
Female | 17
Your case seems like a typical cold getting better. The breathing issue near the bronchi may come from inflammation after the cold. Sleeping on the left side likely caused muscle discomfort in the shoulder and chest regions. Rest up, drink lots of fluids, and practice good posture to ease muscle pain. However, if bronchial sensation persists after a few days, see a pulmonologist just to be safe. Get well soon!

I have digestive issues because of mucus production is happening in my lungs
Male | 24
You may have symptoms such as expectoration of mucus, a feeling of fullness in the chest, or difficulty in breathing. This could be due to airway infection or inflammation. It is very important to go to a medical practitioner who will be able to give you the right therapy and advice that are specifically suited to your complaint.

Along with this, terbutaline sulfate, bromhexine hydrochloride, guaiphenesin, and fex 180 tablets are available for oral intake.

Hello, good day. I have shortness of breath in the bronchi. The doctor prescribed me Salbutamol inhaler, lesetrin lukastin, bronchodilator Ansimar for allergies. I used these drugs yesterday. I masturbated today. Does masturbation affect these drugs? Does masturbation damage the bronchi?
Kişi | 30
Taking the meds your doctor gave for breathing trouble and allergies is key for managing symptoms. About your question on self-pleasure, it doesn't affect those meds or hurt your air tubes. Self-pleasure is normal and doesn't damage the lungs. Follow your doctor's advice and take meds as instructed. If worried about your health, talk openly with a pulmonologist.

My granddaughter had a slight fever and a cough sense yesterday. The fever is gone but the cough is still there. I gave her some cough drops which didn’t work. Her cough became more consistent. Her mother gave her Tussin, a cheaper version of Robitussin. Now she’s vomiting. Is this a sign of Whooping Cough? She’s 7 years old
Female | 7
This typically occurs when a person coughs so much, it makes them sick to their stomach. In children, particularly in toddlers, this can be alarming. It is an infectious disease characterized by coughs that produce a “whooping” sound. It is caused by bacteria and affects the respiratory system. If left untreated or not properly managed, it can cause serious complications, especially in young kids.

Facing health issues severe chest pain , tightness and breathing problem done x ray. 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.

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.

Can a pill get stuck in your lung
Female | 22
Yes, a pill can get stuck in your lung. it can happen when something you’re swallowing goes down the wrong way. If you have trouble breathing after taking medicine, or you cough, wheeze, or have any other worrying symptoms, get medical help right away. Please talk to a pulmonologist to diagnose and treat any problems related to aspiration.

I am 20 years male and have cough for more than 1 months I have taken some pills and home ingredients and still I am coughing and I had headache while coughing
Male | 20
If you have been coughing for over a month, it could mean something more serious happening. Sometimes people get headaches when they cough because of the pressure in their head. The most common reasons why a cough lasts a long time are infections such as bronchitis or even asthma. You should see a pulmonologist so that they can find out what is wrong and give you the right treatment.

I am a 39 yrs old man. I have been having persistent cough since September 2023 and followed by severe weight lose. I used to be 85kg but now my weight is 65kg. I am a smoker.
Male | 39
A persistent cough and unexpected weight loss are concerning symptoms. When these occur together, doctors investigate serious conditions like lung cancer or lung infections, especially with your smoking history. It's vital to get evaluated promptly by a pulmonologist. They'll conduct tests to determine the cause and provide appropriate treatment. Delaying care could worsen your condition.

Persistent wet cough. Recurent througout the day

A persistent wet cough that is recurrent throughout the day may indicate an underlying respiratory issue. You need to consult a professional for evaluation and appropriate treatment.

My 7-month-old daughter has coughed for almost 20 days. Some times it feels like a dry cough, and some time it feels like mucus. mostly she feels good but suddenly cough starts and feels like choking or unable to breathe, and this happens in phase 2 or 3 times in 24 hours.
Female | 7 months
A dry cough changing to mucus coughing may signal throat irritation or a cold. Difficulty breathing during coughing fits could mean mucus temporarily blocks her airways. Keep her hydrated. Use a humidifier in her room to loosen mucus. If coughing persists or worsens, seek medical attention from her pediatrician. This rules out other issues needing treatment.
