Answered on 26th Feb '25
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.

I had intranasal MRSA and my doctor prescribed me mupricion. It actually made me contagious, why did that happen? Is it common
Female | 34
You could be handling MRSA bacteria which normally causes infections. When contracted, a drug known as Mupirocin is prescribed for treatment. The bacteria may become resistant if not used properly for a long time such that it even stops working, thereby rendering one more contagious. Take note of any symptoms such as increasing redness, swelling, or pain, and consult your physician. They might need to change your therapy to assist you in feeling better. Whenever you are using your medication ensure that you adhere to what your doctor has instructed or else you may encounter some complications.

My daughter is 12 plus .she complains of breathlessness especially during night ,after which she sleeps nicely.she had a Ceasar on jan 10 this year for the first time and the reason is still not known after all check-up. She says she had an attack when she was trying to tell us she is not able to breathe well.Since that day she is worried and little anxious that same incident might not occur.This gave us an idea of meeting a pulmonologist who can help us.kindly suggest
Female | 12
It is best to have your daughter evaluated by a pulmonologist. The pulmonologist may recommend a variety of tests to assess her breathlessness, including a chest x-ray, spirometry, a complete blood count (CBC), and a complete metabolic panel. Depending on the results of the tests, the pulmonologist will recommend additional tests, such as an electrocardiogram (ECG) or a pulmonary function test (PFT). Additionally, the doctor can recommend taking medications to help manage her symptoms. It is important to monitor her closely for any changes in her breathing patterns.

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
Breathing difficulties involving your airways might stem from diverse factors like asthma or allergens. The drugs you referenced aim to address such conditions. Self-gratification won't influence these medications' efficacy or harm your bronchial tubes. However, if shortness of breath persists, consult a pulmonologist for further assessment.

What happened to me? I get asthmatic attacks from dairy products regularly. But this time, even though I did not consume any dairy products lately. I have one of the worst one I ever had, got an asthma attack, my eyes are red and specific areas of the left part of my lips is puffed up for some reason. I've consumed a large quantity of dairy products before and the reaction wasn't nearly as severe.
Male | 13
You might be having a more serious allergic reaction which could cause your asthma symptoms to worsen; it may also cause swelling in areas such as your lips. Although now you haven't consumed dairy, allergies sometimes develop gradually and give rise to severe reactions. Allergies can often be so severe that they cause the eyes to become red. You should stay away from dairy and consult an allergist to establish your triggers and to receive the correct treatment.

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.

I am a 47 year old male i had post thyroidectomy and recently got a CT scan and it shows subcentrimetric nodules scattered in the lungs so what does that mean
Male | 47
Following your thyroid surgery and the CT scan, some small nodules were spotted in your lungs. These are very common little growths that hardly ever have any symptoms attached to them. They could have been caused by many things such as infections or past illnesses. In most cases, no action needs to be taken concerning these growths but you need to keep visiting a doctor to check up on them frequently. If you start feeling unusual in any way like continuous coughing or struggling to breathe, please inform your physician immediately.

Breathing problem and not able to eat food
Female | 63
You're experiencing breathlessness and an inability to eat. Breathing difficulties can be a result of weak lungs or heart. When you experience a struggle to eat, it could be problems with the throat or stomach. Both could be symptoms of a problem, particularly if it's continuous. It's necessary to have a checkup to identify what's making these problems.

I am suffering from chest pain for 3 days and now it's become trouble in breathing please suggest me what is problem?
Female | 25
Various factors such as anxiety, muscle strain, or serious health problems like heart issues or respiratory conditions can all give us unpleasant bodily sensations. The key to getting well is to be in touch with your body; these issues need attention and proper evaluation by a specialist. I suggest asking for medical help urgently to make sure that the pulmonologist examines you thoroughly and recommends the appropriate treatment.

I have a cold or flu or covid and my asthma is a lot worse than it has ever been. I am wheezing constantly and my reliever inhaler is not reducing the wheeze at all. I have a lot of mucus stuck in my chest and constantly coughing does not seem to be getting rid of the mucus and I think the mucus is causing me to wheeze constantly
Female | 34
Wheezing may be due to the mucus in your chest that is obstructing the air passage. The coughing may not be enough to dislodge the mucus. Adherence to your inhaler prescription is crucial. Sipping enough fluids and taking a humidifier can ease the mucus. Get medical help from a pulmonologist if the situation gets worse.

Lungs transplant after at the age of 74
Male | 74
A lung transplant is a major surgery in which one person's damaged lungs are replaced with healthy ones from a donor. At the age of seventy-four, the body may not tolerate new lungs as well as when it was younger, which can cause some complications. The symptoms that tell you that you need a lung transplant are severe dyspnea and a permanent lack of energy. It's a difficult decision and requires careful thought as well as consultation with professionals.

Female | 44
If you take a hydrocodone pill, it may appear as oxycodone in a urine test since they are both opioids. Signs include sleepiness as well as confusion besides slow breathing. Therefore, before using any drugs one must consult a pulmonologistl to prevent complications during screening.

You can go to see a pulmonologist or an allergist, who may be the appropriate professionals to see the wheezing and cough related to the asthma attack. They would be able to examine your condition and write them a prescription for prednisone if it is necessary.

An HRCT scan, recommended by your doctor, allows them to view your body and identify the possible cause of your shortness of breath.

Breathing problems since 3-4 days only in night
Female | 20
Many people struggle with breathing issues at night. Nighttime breathing troubles arise from various causes. Common reasons include allergies, asthma, or a room filled with dust. Coughing, wheezing, and feeling short of breath often occur. To improve air quality, keep your bedroom clean and dust-free. Using an air purifier can also help. However, if problems persist, see a pulmonologist without delay. They can evaluate your condition and provide appropriate treatment.

My boyfriend (age 27) has had this all day every day hacking/throat clearing cough with mucus since January... I've been begging him since to get it checked. He waited 4 months until April & finally went. Well, the chest x-ray came back clear. But then why is he still coughing?? I'm exhausted of this, not knowing what it is, but hearing it all day every day, anxious beyond belief while he claims he's "fine" when it's not normal.
Male | 27
Even though his chest Xray came back clear, ruling out obvious lung abnormalities or infections. STill other causes like allergies, postnasal drip, GERD, asthma, or chronic bronchitis could still be responsible. Encourage him to follow up with a medical professional for further evaluation and testing to identify the underlying cause of his symptoms. Taking his cough seriously and seeking medical attention is important for appropriate treatment and relief.
