It's good that you haven't had a fever for 48 hours, that's a positive sign. Nonetheless, the sore throat you may be able to catch from a dry cough may as well mean that you are infected and may still be contagious. Staying at home and keeping away from people is the best way to protect other people from infection. Continue with the fluids, take your rest, and check your symptoms regularly.

Can I Take Chest Cold Medicine With Kit 6?
Can I take chest and cold medicine along with kit 6
Dr. Shweta Bansal
Pulmonologist
Answered on 23rd Sept '24
Combining chest and cold medicine with Kit 6 can sometimes be a bit tricky. Cough and cold medications are sometimes prescribed to alleviate a sore throat, a cough, and a stuffy nose. Nevertheless, Kit 6 may still be managing these. It is advisable not to combine two similar medications to avoid the occurrence of undesired side effects. If you still feel unwell, reach out to a pulmonologist for proper guidance.

Why Am I Having Breathing Difficulties After Quitting Smoking 2 Days Ago?
I was smoking. But I quit smoking till 2 days. Now I'm facing difficulties of breathing.
Dr. Shweta Bansal

Answered on 23rd Sept '24
Experiencing shortness of breath after stopping smoking is a typical occurrence. Your body is getting used to the new environment. This may be because your lungs are now getting rid of the waste that can be left after smoking. It is a positive indicator that your body is on the way to recovery. Attempt to resume the procedure by breathing slowly and drinking water. If the problem doesn't go away, visit a pulmonologist.

Can I masturbate with salbutamol and lukastin drugs?
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?
Dr. Shweta Bansal
Pulmonologist
Answered on 23rd Sept '24
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.

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.

What you have described, such as breathing difficulties, heart pain, mouth ulcers, feeling sick, fatigue, and throat aches might be a condition like anxiety, stress, or vitamin deficiencies. It's great that your ECG and CT scan showed no issues. Healthy lifestyle choices are great but they can also help to ease the symptoms of stress, maintain a balanced diet, stay hydrated, and sleep enough. If the symptoms persist, visit a pulmonologist.

The symptoms you mentioned, such as hoarseness, difficulty speaking, and ear pain, could be post-viral laryngitis. It is one of the possible post-viral complications following a viral infection like COVID. Make sure to rest your voice, drink plenty of fluids, and steer clear of irritants such as smoking. If the symptoms do not go away, it is a good idea to visit an ENT specialist for a more detailed examination and treatment.

Am I prone to vertigo with allergic bronchitis?
i am 39 years old having vertigo allergic bronchitis
Dr. Shweta Bansal
Pulmonologist
Answered on 19th Sept '24
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.

When you have repeated contamination and signs such as coughing, chest pain, and difficulty breathing, you must contact your doctor as soon as possible. These TB strains could be your TB drug-resistance treatment. The need for urgent treatment of these symptoms is the main reason for stopping the infection's growth.

Is mucus blockage causing breathing difficulty for 1-year-old?
My 1 year old son has a mucus blockage on his throat, its not going anywhere even when he cough and he is struggling to breath1
Dr. Shweta Bansal
Pulmonologist
Answered on 19th Sept '24
Respiratory mucus obstruction may be why your son is experiencing breathing problems, which can sometimes result in throat blockage. Coughing being the common symptom and difficulty breathing are other signs to look for. This blockage can be a result of a cold or allergies. If he is still alive, you can help him through the use of a humidifier in his room to make mucus easier to clear and whoop his back lightly a few times to help him clear his throat. If the issue continues or worsens, then you should consult a pulmonologist.

Answered on 18th Sept '24
These symptoms are usually due to a common cold or throat infection. Your body is trying to defend itself by removing the pathogens. Sipping warm liquids, resting, and using a humidifier can help you feel better. If the symptoms worsen or last too long, see a pulmonologist for proper treatment.

Should I seek medical help for fever and cough?
I am having fever and cough for about 30 hours, I am taking paracetamol, I am feeling relief for 4-5 hours, then I am waking up like this, and I am also coughing.
Dr. Shweta Bansal
Pulmonologist
Answered on 18th Sept '24
It could be a respiratory infection that is giving you a fever and cough. Such infections can be due to viruses and bacteria. Paracetamol can reduce your fever usefully, while coughing is your airways' way of trying to clean themselves. Encourage your body to be healthy by drinking lots of fluids and getting enough sleep. If the last couple of days haven't been the best for you and you feel even worse than before, then it is time to consult a pulmonologist.

Why do I feel sharp chest pain in cold weather?
My girlfriend says she feels cheast pain, during cold days, she says it's a sharp pain from the inside
Dr. Shweta Bansal
Pulmonologist
Answered on 18th Sept '24
She may be suffering from chest pain due to costochondritis. This occurs when the cartilage in the chest gets inflamed in cold weather. It can cause a sudden pain inside the chest. To ease the pain, she can use warm compresses, take pain relievers like ibuprofen, and avoid activities that aggravate the pain. If the pain does not go away or becomes more severe, she should consult a pulmonologist for further treatment.
