Can I Take Co Codamol with Oramorph?
can i take co codamol with oramorph
Dr. Shweta Bansal
Pulmonologist
Answered on 2nd July '24
One of the main points to remember here is that action is highly needed when considering co-codamol and oramorph together. These pain-relieving drugs contain opioids, which can be quite dangerous, especially when they are used in combination. Those may include headaches, drowsiness, and shallow breathing. It's a great idea to tell your doctor about your query if you suffer greatly from pain, as such may serve as your first step to the way out of your pain.

What are alternative options for influenza treatment?
i'm been detect have influenza. Tamiflu are no longer have used to me. May i know any other medicine or option that can reduce the effect of influenza?
Dr. Shweta Bansal
Pulmonologist
Answered on 29th June '24
The flu is caused by a virus, not bacteria. It can make you feel sick with symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, and body aches. Since taking Tamiflu is not in the picture anymore, it is vital that you take good rest, drink lots of water, and take pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen to help get rid of the symptoms. These help to relieve illness and severe pain. Make sure to stay at home and avoid infecting other people with flu.

Answered on 28th June '24
Experiencing sudden jerks can be concerning. There are possibilities for the sensation of a jerk or interruption in breathing that happens due to sleep disorders, anxiety or panic attacks or other respiratory conditions like asthama or COPD. Consult a pulmonologist to assess your condition and to get apt treatment for it.

Persistent 7-Month-Old Dry and Mucus Cough Concern
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.
Dr. Shweta Bansal
Pulmonologist
Answered on 26th June '24
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.

Answered on 26th June '24
Allergies can produce symptoms like coughing. It is caused by your body's defense mechanism in panic mode thinking something is threatening. A cough is a way your body spits out what it considers foreign. Visiting a pulmonologist can aid you in finding the best approach to control your allergy and stop the cough. You might be given a prescription for the medication or advised on triggers that can make your allergies worse or increase your cough..

Do I Need Breath Test for Nighttime Breathing Issues?
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.
Dr. Shweta Bansal
Pulmonologist
Answered on 21st June '24
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.

Why is my grandma's dry cough not stopping?

Dr. Shweta Bansal
Pulmonologist
Answered on 19th June '24
A cough that is dry and lasts two months or more can be due to different factors. It's good that she is taking tablets and home remedies but if the cough still stays on, it would be best to consult a pulmonologist once again to have it properly diagnosed. Also, advise your grandma to drink lots of fluids, use a humidifier in the room, and if possible, turn her filled with irritants like smoke or dust.

Answered on 18th June '24
From the symptoms you are describing, it seems like you are having shortness of breath and sweating a lot. These might be indications that something is wrong with your heart. Often, the heart is the one that is not functioning properly and as a result, it can produce these symptoms. A pulmonologist will probably recommend a series of tests to pinpoint the issue. The guidance of the doctor would be eminent to your health.

Pulmonologist
Answered on 18th June '24
You are having hard moments with cough and chest pressure. These symptoms are the most common and may be triggered by the flu, common cold, or allergic reactions. They can also cause ear pain or a feeling of fullness due to the dryer air in the cabin. Before you can fly again or think of travel, you should prioritize a healthy and safe life. With resting, make the best of the situation by drinking more water and using a humidifier to relieve congestion.

What to do for sarcoidosis ILD oxygen saturation?
My mother has sarcoidosis fibrotic ILD patient.last night her oxygen saturation 87 to 90. But physically she is normal .plz suggest what should i do.
Dr. Shweta Bansal
Pulmonologist
Answered on 14th June '24
The scarred and stiff lung tissue in sarcoidosis fibrotic ILD makes it hard for air to get in. If her oxygen level drops below normal, she does not have enough oxygen in her body. It can be really bad. Even if she seems fine, low oxygen can hurt her. Assure that her doctor’s instructions for using oxygen are strictly followed. In case there is no improvement, call for emergency medical services immediately.

Is End-Stage COPD Causing Eating and Behavior Changes?
I am looking after my dad that has end of life copd.hes not eating much very weak talks in his sleep and fidgety and is getting withdrawn from peopl
Dr. Shweta Bansal
Pulmonologist
Answered on 13th June '24
Extreme fatigue and loss of appetite could be caused by COPD. Sometimes people may talk while asleep, be restless, or become unresponsive during this period. This means that the body is extremely weak. Right now, what is most important is to make sure he is relaxed all the time, don’t force him to eat too much but give him small amounts of food often.
