Answered on 21st Jan '25

Persistent coughing can often follow a respiratory infection, even after other symptoms have improved. This can be caused by lingering inflammation in the airways. Continue using your cough syrup and home remedies like honey and warm fluids, which may help soothe your throat. If the cough persists for more than a week or worsens, it's advisable to consult a pulmonologist. They can provide a thorough evaluation and may suggest treatments like inhalers or additional medications.

I am a 26 year old man . every night cough gets accumulated in my nose and in morning when I get up and wash my face sneezing occurs about 4 to 5 times and nose gets cleared up .... cough is transparent and in liquid from....in day time no cough..... sometimes 10 to20 times sneezing occurs.... it seems that this is my daily routine.....what to do

Male | 26

You're dealing with allergic rhinitis, which means your body is sensitive to triggers like dust, pollen, or pet dander, causing sneezing and nasal congestion. At night, lying down can cause mucus buildup, leading to morning symptoms. Using air purifiers, keeping your living space clean, and avoiding triggers can help manage your symptoms.

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 39 years old having vertigo allergic bronchitis

Female | 39

You have been diagnosed with allergic bronchitis, which is causing coughing and dizziness. The dizziness you're feeling, known as vertigo, makes it seem like everything around you is spinning. Allergic bronchitis happens when your bronchial tubes react to allergens like dust and pollen. Your doctor may prescribe medication to help with the cough and dizziness. It's also helpful to avoid triggers like smoking or strong perfumes.

I am 28 years old i am Moderate MR patient i am facing difficulty in breathing nowadays

Female | 28

With Moderate MR, the heart may very well be malfunctioning which is why your body has a difficult time getting the required oxygen. This might make you want to breathe faster, and you end up getting dizzy. You need to alert your doctor of the problem now so that your doctor can check you out and give you more effective medicine if it is necessary.

Male | 14

If you have had a bad cough that has persisted since Friday, you really must see a doctor as soon as possible. This may be just one of the symptoms of lots of different conditions; it can be due to bronchitis or pneumonia. You should see a pulmonologist or a respiratory physician, who will examine and treat you accordingly.

Fever and cough since 2days

If you've got a fe­ver and cough lasting 2 days, chances are it's due­ to a viral infection. Your body increases te­mperature to fight off the virus inte­rnally. Resting up, staying hydrated, and taking acetaminophe­n eases symptoms. Howeve­r, worsening issues or breathing trouble­s require prompt medical atte­ntion.

Hello, I am 30 years old. I have shortness of breath in the bronchi. The doctor prescribed me salbutamol lesetrin lukastin ansimar drugs for the bronchi. Can I masturbate while using these drugs?

Kişi | 30

Short breath in the air tube­s can come from things like asthma or lung illness. The­ meds your doc gave you, like salbutamol, le­setrin, lukastin, and ansimar, help open up the­ air tubes and cut swelling. Touching yourself like­ly won't impact your issue or how well the me­ds work. Just follow what your doctor says and take the meds as told.
