Why have I had cough for 2 months?
I have cough in last 2 months and I tested sputum test and the report was gram negative bacilli and gram negative cocco bacilli
Dr. Shweta Bansal
Pulmonologist
Answered on 23rd May '24
You've had a cough for some time. Tests showed bacteria, gram-negative bacilli, and gram-negative cocco bacilli, in your sputum. They cause lung infections. Symptoms like coughing often, fatigue, and breathing trouble are common. Antibiotics doctors prescribe help fight these bacteria, clearing the infection.

Can masturbation affect bronchodilators and breathing treatments?
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?

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.

Does masturbation impact bronchi medications efficacy or health?
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?

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.

Why do I feel sensation in bronchi without coughing?
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.

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!

These symptoms often happen when you have a virus infection. Lotide cough syrup can help your throat feel better and stop coughing so much. Prednisolone medicine is a steroid that can reduce swelling in your throat.

What's causing my low-grade fever, cough, and sore throat?
I have had a low-grade fever on and off for about 6 days, cough with blood in mucus sometimes, although it may be blood from my nosebleed, and sore throat what could be the cause?
Dr. Shweta Bansal
Pulmonologist
Answered on 23rd May '24
You might have a chest cold. That makes you cough and feel hot. The red stuff from your nose or throat could be from bleeding. But you should go to a pulmonologist to check. Be sure to drink a lot of water and juice. And rest as much as you can. Use a humidifier too. It puts water in the air so your throat does not get dry.

The tests show you may have a sickness. Your body is fighting it. The TB medicine is helping, but sicknesses can take time to go away. Keep taking your medicine like the doctor said. Tell the doctor if you feel new things. Stay hopeful! Follow what the doctor says.

What should I do for blocked nose and cough?
Hi I'm Sheila I am 32 yrs old...I have blocked nose and cough ,2days before it's dry cough.. yesterday I feel little bit cold and I take Himalaya(koflet syrup) and maxigesicPE (CAPLETS). WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW?
Dr. Shweta Bansal
Pulmonologist
Answered on 23rd May '24
It seems you have the common cold. A stuffed nose, dry cough, and feeling chilly are the usual signs. These signs often come from viruses that spread easily. Good you took the koflet syrup and maxigesicPE pills. Rest up, drink lots of liquids, and try using a humidifier to help with your stuffed nose. If you feel worse or your symptoms stay, best to see a pulmonologist.

Ingesting bleach may cause these effects by irritating your respiratory and digestive systems. It’s risky and should be treated as a medical emergency. Always remember that bleach is harmful if swallowed and could injure your internal organs in the future.

Why do I have nighttime fever and dry cough?
Irregular Fever and tonsilitis dry cough and fever feels at nighttime and in day whenever I used to sleep
Dr. Shweta Bansal
Pulmonologist
Answered on 23rd May '24
It appears that tonsillitis with a dry cough and irregular fever which worsens at night might be the issue at hand. Tonsillitis often brings about a throat ache and enlarged tonsils. The fever could be a result of an infection. It is advisable to take a lot of fluids and soft foods as well as resting. Gargling using warm salt water helps to reduce the pain in the throat. If the symptoms persist, visit a pulmonologist.

When can I take Salbutamol with Lukastin safely?
Hello, good day. I have shortness of breath in the bronchi. My doctor prescribed me the inhaler Salbutamol and the tablet medicine allergy lesetrin lukastin ansimar. How long after using the inhaler can I drink these tablets? Is it harmful to use these medicines with an interval of 1 hour. Or how long between medicines? must be time.?
Dr. Shweta Bansal
Pulmonologist
Answered on 23rd May '24
Asthma or allergies can be a cause of this. To open the airways quickly, Salbutamol inhalers play an important role. On the other hand, Leukotriene Modifiers such as Montelukast take longer working time as they reduce inflammation gradually over the airway passages. No problem if combined use is considered safe by the doctor. Both drugs follow medical prescriptions strictly.

How can I manage my asthma symptoms effectively?
Hi dr I’m asthma from childhood I use seretide 500/50 vantoline lumenta 10 mg Last week I will visit chest dr he give me azit 500 mg 3 day per week I have chest ct scan and X-ray normal I have cough my left side and sometimes sound
Dr. Shweta Bansal
Pulmonologist
Answered on 23rd May '24
You use Seretide and Ventoline to help your symptoms. The cough on your left side might be from asthma. It's good that the CT scan and X-ray of your chest were normal. Your chest doctor likely gave you the antibiotic Azit to fight lung infections. Take all the pills until they're gone, like the doctor said. If the cough gets worse or doesn't go away, see your pulmonologist again. They can check it out and give you a different treatment if needed.

Could these symptoms indicate flu after negative COVID test?
This is actually about my mother. 5 days ago, she started having these flu-like symptoms; coughing, extreme fatigue, phlegm, wheezing, headache, chills, and fever. The fever is now gone, but she still has all the other symptoms. She had a chest x-ray that came back perfectly fine, and tested negative for COVID, so it’s not that. She hasn’t really improved, but she hasn’t gotten worse either. Could this be the flu?
Dr. Shweta Bansal
Pulmonologist
Answered on 23rd May '24
The best thing you can do is make your mother rest, take a lot of fluids, and use drugs that can relieve her of any symptoms that are associated with over-the-counter. Make sure she takes syrup, water, tea, etc. to keep herself hydrated especially since she might not have much desire for them due to coughs being experienced hence causing dry throat. Please visit a pulmonologist for further treatment.
