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.

My 7-month-old daughter has coughed for almost 20 days. Some times it feels like a dry cough, and some time it feels like mucus. mostly she feels good but suddenly cough starts and feels like choking or unable to breathe, and this happens in phase 2 or 3 times in 24 hours.
Female | 7 months
A dry cough changing to mucus coughing may signal throat irritation or a cold. Difficulty breathing during coughing fits could mean mucus temporarily blocks her airways. Keep her hydrated. Use a humidifier in her room to loosen mucus. If coughing persists or worsens, seek medical attention from her pediatrician. This rules out other issues needing treatment.

I have been coughing for the last 20 days but it is not getting better. I consulted a doctor but the doctor checked me with a stethoscope and told me that my chest is clear. Before this he gave me Biopod CV, Cicof D and Wellkast medicines. But when I did not get relief and the course of medicines was over, he gave me Bilast M and Rabeprazole 40mg. It has been 10 days since I started taking the medicine but still I am not getting relief. Please suggest me which medicine should I take so that I get complete relief.

You seem troubled by a stubborn cough lasting over 3 weeks. It's wise to visit a pulmonologist for an evaluation. Allergies, asthma, or infections often cause lingering coughs. Since medications haven't helped much, tests like X-rays may identify the source and proper treatment. Don't ignore this prolonged issue; consult your physician promptly.

I'm having cough especially while sleeping it gets more it never leaves to sleep
Female | 30
Night-time coughing can disturb your sleep. It might be caused by irritants in the air or conditions like post-nasal drip or acid reflux. Either way, it’s frustrating! You can try propping your head up while you sleep, and a humidifier might help, too. Staying hydrated is also a good idea. However, if the coughing doesn’t go away, talk to a pulmonologist about it.

It sounds like you're experiencing significant distress both mentally and physically.

If you are still not feeling well, make sure you reach out to our nearest pulmonologist or psychiatrist for a counseling session.

Female | 19
Maybe you are an asthma patient. The changing seasons can be the reason for the asthma symptoms intensified by pollen. Various symptoms are observed such as shortness of breath, wheezing, and feeling of being out of breath. The underlying cause is the body's hypersensitivity to certain substances known as allergens. The treatment is to utilize a doctor-prescribed inhaler can assist in more effective breathing. Dust and pollen are some triggers that should be avoided.

No, asthma inhalers are not known to cause cancer. In fact, asthma inhalers are a vital part of managing asthma symptoms and reducing the risk of asthma attacks. However, excessive use of certain types of inhalers may cause some side effects, such as oral thrush or hoarseness.

I have been diagnosed with bronchitis and on a week course of antibiotics but my chronic cough has not improved and I have been vomiting and shortness of breath when walking and feeling very tired and body aches and headaches
Female | 26
Something seems wrong—your symptoms like vomiting, breathing trouble, exhaustion, aches, and headaches suggest the bronchitis worsened. The infection possibly spread. That's serious, you really should see a doctor urgently. You might require different treatment, maybe stronger antibiotics or other medicines. Delaying medical attention would be unwise.

I m 24yrs female. From past 6month l, I have frequent cough and cold. Now I m feeling so weak. Also in past 1year I faint 3times. I m so worried. Why this happened to me? Currently I m feeling so weak. While standing or walking I had some vibration feeling in my head.
Female | 24
Weakness, frequent coughs and colds, and fainting can have various causes. These symptoms might indicate low iron levels in your blood, known as anemia. Feeling tired or light-headed are common sign of iron deficiency. You should eat iron-rich foods like spinach, lentils, and meat, drink plenty of water, and rest when needed. If these steps don't help after some time, seek medical advice as soon as possible, as it could be something serious that needs urgent attention.
