Questions & Answers on "Pulmonologist" (101)
You had the flu 3 weeks ago and now have chest issues. Chest feels wheezy and tight, especially when it's cold. Cough comes and goes, sometimes dry and sometimes wet.
Female | 21
After having the flu, your body gets weaker. Germs found it easier to infect your chest area. That's why you're feeling tightness, wheezing, and coughing. The cold air makes these symptoms worse. To improve your condition, stay warm, drink lots of fluids, and use a humidifier. If symptoms persist, seek medical advice from a pulmonologist.

Phlegm could signify lung or breathing problems. Rashes may indicate allergies or skin issues. Consult a pulmonologist for further examination. Tests may be necessary to identify causes and prescribe suitable treatment.

nafodil 50 is safe to use
Male | 49
Nafodil 50 treats breathing issues like asthma and chronic lung disease. It helps relax airways, easing symptoms like coughing and tightness. The doctor prescribes this drug after considering your condition. You should take it exactly as instructed, neither more nor less.

My mom has breathlessness issues from last 4 days . We have done regular reports which are notmal . Already giving nebuliser and Ablung N
Female | 73
Breathlessness stems from respiratory issues like infections, and asthma. The nebulizer and Ablung N medication help breathing. Ensure she rests, and hydrates adequately. Monitor symptoms carefully, and seek a pulmonologist if worsening.

Female | 28
Night coughs can happen for many reasons. Maybe you have allergies, asthma, or a cold. Phlegm means you might have an infection in your chest. Keep drinking water and breathing steam. If coughing doesn't stop, see a pulmonologist to check it out.
