Can I hang With Friends if COVID Positive with No Symptoms?
It's good that you haven't had a fever for 48 hours, that's a positive sign. Nonetheless, the sore throat you may be able to catch from a dry cough may as well mean that you are infected and may still be contagious. Staying at home and keeping away from people is the best way to protect other people from infection. Continue with the fluids, take your rest, and check your symptoms regularly.

Can I Take Chest Cold Medicine With Kit 6?
Combining chest and cold medicine with Kit 6 can sometimes be a bit tricky. Cough and cold medications are sometimes prescribed to alleviate a sore throat, a cough, and a stuffy nose. Nevertheless, Kit 6 may still be managing these. It is advisable not to combine two similar medications to avoid the occurrence of undesired side effects. If you still feel unwell, reach out to a pulmonologist for proper guidance.

Why Am I Having Breathing Difficulties After Quitting Smoking 2 Days Ago?
Experiencing shortness of breath after stopping smoking is a typical occurrence. Your body is getting used to the new environment. This may be because your lungs are now getting rid of the waste that can be left after smoking. It is a positive indicator that your body is on the way to recovery. Attempt to resume the procedure by breathing slowly and drinking water. If the problem doesn't go away, visit a pulmonologist.

Can I masturbate with salbutamol and lukastin drugs?
Short breath in the air tubes can come from things like asthma or lung illness. The meds your doc gave you, like salbutamol, lesetrin, lukastin, and ansimar, help open up the air tubes and cut swelling. Touching yourself likely won't impact your issue or how well the meds work. Just follow what your doctor says and take the meds as told.

Why do I keep experiencing cough and sneezing?
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.

Am I prone to vertigo with allergic bronchitis?
You have been diagnosed with allergic bronchitis, which is causing coughing and dizziness. The dizziness you're feeling, known as vertigo, makes it seem like everything around you is spinning. Allergic bronchitis happens when your bronchial tubes react to allergens like dust and pollen. Your doctor may prescribe medication to help with the cough and dizziness. It's also helpful to avoid triggers like smoking or strong perfumes.

Is mucus blockage causing breathing difficulty for 1-year-old?
Respiratory mucus obstruction may be why your son is experiencing breathing problems, which can sometimes result in throat blockage. Coughing being the common symptom and difficulty breathing are other signs to look for. This blockage can be a result of a cold or allergies. If he is still alive, you can help him through the use of a humidifier in his room to make mucus easier to clear and whoop his back lightly a few times to help him clear his throat. If the issue continues or worsens, then you should consult a pulmonologist.

Should I seek medical help for fever and cough?
It could be a respiratory infection that is giving you a fever and cough. Such infections can be due to viruses and bacteria. Paracetamol can reduce your fever usefully, while coughing is your airways' way of trying to clean themselves. Encourage your body to be healthy by drinking lots of fluids and getting enough sleep. If the last couple of days haven't been the best for you and you feel even worse than before, then it is time to consult a pulmonologist.
