I inhaled One of those small dots that come from Fire that fly, i dont know how they're called, there Is no Pain, i wanna know if i'll be ok
Male | 13
Small fire dots are known as ember particles. If inhaled, no pain suggests safety. However, irritation or coughing may occur. Drink water, and cough gently for discomfort relief. Seek medical help if breathing difficulties or chest pain arise. For now, you're likely okay.

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 am a 26 year old man . every night cough gets accumulated in my nose and in morning when I get up and wash my face sneezing occurs about 4 to 5 times and nose gets cleared up .... cough is transparent and in liquid from....in day time no cough..... sometimes 10 to20 times sneezing occurs.... it seems that this is my daily routine.....what to do
Male | 26
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.

I have asthma but no inhaler and I want to start track and field in my school. What should I do?
Female | 14
Sports if you are asthmatic and lack of inhaler can turn out to be a dangerous affair. Asthma is a disease that can cause breathing difficulties, coughing, and compactness of the chest among other things. Physical activities can provoke an asthma attack. In your situation, it would be dangerous to do track and field without an inhaler. Warn your parents or school nurse about your asthma and request them to help you get an inhaler before beginning track and field.

I am 20 years male and have cough for more than 1 months I have taken some pills and home ingredients and still I am coughing and I had headache while coughing
Male | 20
If you have been coughing for over a month, it could mean something more serious happening. Sometimes people get headaches when they cough because of the pressure in their head. The most common reasons why a cough lasts a long time are infections such as bronchitis or even asthma. You should see a pulmonologist so that they can find out what is wrong and give you the right treatment.

My mother has sarcoidosis fibrotic ILD patient.last night her oxygen saturation 87 to 90. But physically she is normal .plz suggest what should i do.
Female | 66
The scarred and stiff lung tissue in sarcoidosis fibrotic ILD makes it hard for air to get in. If her oxygen level drops below normal, she does not have enough oxygen in her body. It can be really bad. Even if she seems fine, low oxygen can hurt her. Assure that her doctor’s instructions for using oxygen are strictly followed. In case there is no improvement, call for emergency medical services immediately.

Sir mujhe montoux positive aaya hai but x-ray me abhi TB show nhi hua h or TB confirm ke liye sputum test me balgam bhi nhi aa rha hai to kya mujhe TB hai ya nhi
Female | 23
TB bacteria encountered in the body results in a positive Montoux test, but the test does not determine TB disease. Your lungs appear normal on the chest X-ray and sputum test, which indicates that you may not have active TB disease. On the other hand, it is suggested along with a pulmonologist the more specific diagnosis and administration of treatment.

How to take sevfurane 50 inhaler? After taking sevfurane does a person stop breathing? What if a person drinks the sevfurane?
Female | 27
Inhale the sevfurane 50 by breathing in slowly and deeply while pressing down on the inhaler. Do not stop breathing after taking it as it should not make you stop breathing. If a person drinks sevfurane, they may feel dizzy, confused, have a slow heartbeat or even slip into a coma. In such a case, one should be rushed to the hospital without any delays. Drinking sevfurane is extremely dangerous and could lead to loss of life.

Female | 24
Your case might be pneumonia. It can make you cough up thick, pinkish mucus and can also cause pain in the left part of the chest when you lie down. You might also have trouble breathing while sleeping. Pneumonia is an infection that triggers inflammation in the air sacs in your lungs. You have to refer a pulmonologist for the best diagnosis and treatment.

My grandma was continuing dry coughing in two months home remedy and doctor consulting tablets are taking but no stop the cough so pls help me sir what happand and recovery the problem
Female | 65
A cough that is dry and lasts two months or more can be due to different factors. It's good that she is taking tablets and home remedies but if the cough still stays on, it would be best to consult a pulmonologist once again to have it properly diagnosed. Also, advise your grandma to drink lots of fluids, use a humidifier in the room, and if possible, turn her filled with irritants like smoke or dust.

Hello, good day. I have shortness of breath in the bronchi. My doctor prescribed me the inhaler Salbutamol and the tablet medicine allergy lesetrin lukastin ansimar. How long after using the inhaler can I drink these tablets? Is it harmful to use these medicines with an interval of 1 hour. Or how long between medicines? must be time.?
Kişi | 30
Asthma or allergies can be a cause of this. To open the airways quickly, Salbutamol inhalers play an important role. On the other hand, Leukotriene Modifiers such as Montelukast take longer working time as they reduce inflammation gradually over the airway passages. No problem if combined use is considered safe by the doctor. Both drugs follow medical prescriptions strictly.

Hi I have asthma and i have been quite breathless tonight could you help please
Female | 29
Asthma inflames and narrows airways, making breathing difficult. Use your inhaler as directed. Sit straight and breathe slowly, deeply. If still struggling, seek medical help or go to the ER. Control asthma with regular check-ups and medications.
