Normally your normal B02 saturation level shouldn’t be bouncing between 82-92%. This is, in particular, a troubling case for someone whose immunity is compromised and who has chronic bronchitis. I advise you to seek help from a pulmonologist to carry out further evaluation and suggest treatment options.

In case a doctor has evaluated your ERS as not being a cause of worry, you need to accept their expert opinion and do not overthink it. Therefore, if you are still confused or you have any more questions you must go to a pulmonologist.

Full-body pain can be a symptom of many illnesses that range from viral and bacterial infections. Visit a physician, if you have any health issue. These symptoms call a person needing consultation with a general physician or a pulmonologist.

The effects of flu, cold, and temperature elevations are common in winter. These symptoms are basically due to viral occasions and hence, they can be treated through the use of over-the-counter drugs and rest. See a general physician or a pulmonologist as this would be the best option.

You should seek immediate medical care for your daughter. Pneumonia is a severe illness that can easily cause difficulty in the respiratory system, among other serious diseases. Immediately, you are asked to visit a pulmonologist or pediatrician who specializes in the field of respiratory diseases for purposes of diagnosis and treatment. Early intervention can help prevent the complications and aid in fast recovery.

Answered on 23rd May '24

Pleural fibrosis results in thickening of the lungs lining and further development of breath problems and other symptoms. It may occur as a result of several different things like being exposed to asbestos or being infected by a certain bacterium or virus. I will recommend you see a pulmonodigist who can assess the exact condition and recommend a proper treatment plan.

Answered on 23rd May '24

When patients are on the ventilators it is common to give them a sedation to keep them comforable and to give them a relief from the pain. In most instances,the sedation is not required and in a few cases,the sedation might even turn out to be harmful. Likewise, if a patient will be taking off the ventilator should be in co-operation with a pulmonologist or respiratory specialist who adjusts the setting of the ventilator or administers other treatments such as medication.

Answered on 23rd May '24

Liquid between the lungs is called pleural effusion. Among the reasons causing pleural effusion, congestive heart failure, pneumonia, cancer and kidney or liver disease are some of them. A significantly levelled D-dimer can mean that there are blood clots, which can also lead to pleural effusion. It is worth to see a pulmonologist to get appropriate evaluation and treatment.

Can Promethazine DM Syrup and Diflucan be Taken Together for Sinus Infection and Bronchitis?

I took promethazine dm syrup with diflucan for my sinus infection and bronchitis

1 Answer
Dr. Shweta Bansal

Dr. Shweta Bansal

Pulmonologist

Answered on 23rd May '24

You should not combine it with diflucan sinus and bronchitis infection medications. Promethazine DM syrup is a drug that contains an antihistamine and a cough suppressant, while diflucan is a medication with antifungal action. It is advisable to get a prescriber's advice before taking any medicine and follow their patient care course accordingly. For sinus infection and bronchitis, turning to a pulmonologist or an ENT specialist is recommended.
