Chest Infection: Symptoms, Treatment, and Prevention
I wanna talk about chest infection
Dr. Shweta Bansal
Pulmonologist
Answered on 14th Aug '24
A chest infection happens when germs enter the lungs. Breathing becomes difficult. You might cough constantly, feel short of breath, and experience chest discomfort. Viruses or bacteria frequently cause this condition. To alleviate symptoms, get plenty of rest, drink water regularly, and use a humidifier. Additionally, inhaling steam or taking warm showers can provide relief. However, if symptoms worsen, it's crucial to seek medical attention from a pulmonologist.

You seem to have caught a respiratory infection. Symptoms like throat pain, phlegmy cough, fatigue, and mild fever often come with it. Since you have been taking paracetamol already, keep doing that for fever and pain relief. Also, try gargling warm salt water and resting up. If things don't improve or worsen, it's best to see a pulmonologist for further checks.

Why do I experience choking sensation with coughing?
I am having cough which looks more allergic. And phlegm and wheezing sound only appears when I coughs. It's like someone is choking you when you have the cough. It really hurts my throat and head while coughing. And sometimes maybe due to my panic, cough results in cough syncope. I also have antral gastritis. I have been diagnosed with bronchitis 6 months back. My chest Xray shows only small prominence in right lungs and rest is normal. CT is normal, XRay is normal. Only my TLC count is elavated to 17000 and however eosphil and basophil count is normal. I am slightly anemic. According to my doc, my body is unable to absorb iron. My O2 and BP all are normal during my cough episode. However, I feel tremor throughout my body and sometimes my hands and legs become pale while I cough. I am perfectly normal if I don't have the cough episodes. I also has slight GERD maybe due to antral gastritis.

Why does my breath cease when I cough?
I am 41 year old. I recently had cough and cold then I took some drugs. Though the cough is gone, but for some days now anytime I cough my breath ceases
Dr. Shweta Bansal
Pulmonologist
Answered on 10th Aug '24
According to the research you've put forward, it is likely that you might have a disease known as asthma. Wheezing can occur during a cough when asthmatic patients have trouble breathing. This is a result of opened, inflamed, and tightened air tubes. In addition to coughing, other symptoms may include wheezing and chest tightness. One of the ways to cope is by staying away from irritants such as smoke or dust.

MDR TB Patient Exposure Concern
Hi doctor, Yesterday i spent around 35 minutes sitting and talking to a MDR TB patient who has been taking medications for 5 months. I am worried about exposure. Pls guide me.
Dr. Shweta Bansal
Pulmonologist
Answered on 9th Aug '24
Hanging around someone with MDR TB can understandably be unnerving. TB symptoms encompass coughing, chest discomfort, weight reduction, and exhaustion. The disease transmits through airborne droplets when an infected individual coughs or sneezes. To play it safe, schedule an appointment with your doctor for a TB test. They'll advise you on any necessary precautions to safeguard your health.

You are not doing so well with your breathing, particularly when you are lying down or doing activities. These symptoms can be the result of, for example, heart problems or lung problems.

Is Air Filled Cavity in Lung Cancerous?
My uncle had a stiffness in left side so dr suggested echo ecg . The report is normal. Then we do xray of lung . It shows a bubble in left lung . Then we do tb test and cect . Tb test is Negative. Cect shows air filled cavity . Is it cancer????
Dr. Shweta Bansal
Pulmonologist
Answered on 8th Aug '24
The bubble in the left lung can be due to a thing called "pneumothorax," that is similar to having a lung outside the body. It is not usually cancer but can promote chest pain and shortness of breath. The treatment can be either observing it with the use of a tiny tube to remove the trapped air or in some cases surgery. Along with necessary follow-ups, it is also crucial to consult with a pulmonologist to determine the best course of action.

Please help me a little
Dr. Shweta Bansal
Pulmonologist
Answered on 6th Aug '24
Pneumothorax (TB) might be the water inside your chest. This is due to the fact that the immune system, when it is weak, can bring on the symptoms such as chest pain and tiredness. While taking medications as prescribed should be your priority, do not take creatine without your doctor’s approval because it may worsen your condition. However, for now, make sure you are resting enough, eating properly, and gradually getting back into your regular training routine.
