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?

Female | 80

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.

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

Female | 34

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.

I want to know Tb drug those as per body weight

Male | 27

TB, or tuberculosis is a disease caused by bacteria. To be effective, TB drugs are based on body weight. These medicines are isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide and ethambutol. The exact amounts required for treatment depend on your weight so doctors will give them to you accordingly Taking these drugs regularly for several months can help cure one of TB.

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?

Female | 68

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.

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

Male | 50

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.
