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.

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.

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

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

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.

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?

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.

I had intranasal MRSA and my doctor prescribed me mupricion. It actually made me contagious, why did that happen? Is it common

1 Answer
Dr. Babita Goel

Dr. Babita Goel

General Physician

Answered on 23rd May '24

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.

Can Pulmonary Edema be cured with immediate care tips?

My grandmother is diagnosed with Pulmonary edema. We need to immediately taker her to Gurgaon which 5 hrs journey from our hometown. Can u please suggest some preliminary care/ tips for her immediate relief. Also like to know if this disease is curable?

Answered on 23rd May '24

This occurs when fluid collects in the air sacs of the lungs. Signs may include shortness of breath, problems breathing, coughs, or wheezing sounds. To make her more comfortable on the trip to Gurgaon, try to sit her up and give oxygen if it is available then keep her as calm as possible.  In most cases, drugs are given as treatment for pulmonary edema which works by getting rid of extra fluids from the lungs besides dealing with its root cause like heart failure. Proper health care can help control signs but the urgent need for a pulmonologist's attention is necessary.

It looks like your sister has started to feel a little strange after having a bronchoscopy done which is a procedure used for checking the airways in the lungs. The prickling sensations, red hands, and other things might mean that the nerves are getting pinched or there is swelling somewhere. She needs to see a pulmonologist so they can find out what’s wrong with her. They might have some tests done or give her some medicine for it depending on how bad off she is.

This can cause symptoms such as coughing, chest pains, and coughing up blood. Persons under TB medication are not encouraged to use creatine or whey proteins since it alter how the body responds to the drugs. Concentrate on the treatment plan provided by your doctor and also eat a balanced diet that will help in fighting the infection. Continue going to the gym but don’t take any supplements that may affect the healing process of TB within your body.
