Can crackling lungs be from recent cough and cold?

If you’ve had a dry cough and cold recently, it seems like you might have some crackling in your lungs. This is normal. The sound could mean there is still mucus present. To remedy the situation, drink more water and practice breathing exercises. If it persists or worsens, take time off work so your body can recover.

How to Manage Lung TB Medication and Diet?

Medications for TB commonly bring about changes in mood such as crankiness. Having junk meals while under TB drugs could worsen the situation. Ensure your brother eats nourishing food. If he still gets angry easily, you should consult his doctor.

How do I treat chest pain and cough in cold weather?

A sore throat and a runny nose could mean that you have a cold. The common cold is usually caused by a virus that is easily spread from person to person. To help yourself feel better, rest a lot, drink warm beverages such as tea and honey, and also gargle salt water which will soothe your throat. Typically it clears up within a few days.

Why am I experiencing breath, pain, anxiety issues?

These might be symptoms of asthma. Someone with asthma may find it difficult to breathe properly and they can also get chest pains. One needs to keep calm, sit upright, and use any prescribed inhalers if they have any. A person should also try to stay away from anything that might trigger an attack such as smoke or allergens. They can take warm drinks which will help them relax. If these signs continue or become worse then they need immediate medical attention.

Can I pass oxycodone urine test with hydrocodone?

If you take a hydrocodone pill, it may appear as oxycodone in a urine test since they are both opioids. Signs include sleepiness as well as confusion besides slow breathing. Therefore, before using any drugs one must consult a pulmonologistl to prevent complications during screening.

What are lung nodules after thyroidectomy CT scan?

Following your thyroid surgery and the CT scan, some small nodules were spotted in your lungs. These are very common little growths that hardly ever have any symptoms attached to them. They could have been caused by many things such as infections or past illnesses. In most cases, no action needs to be taken concerning these growths but you need to keep visiting a doctor to check up on them frequently. If you start feeling unusual in any way like continuous coughing or struggling to breathe, please inform your physician immediately.

Feeling Cold, Cough, Headache, Fever, Mucus—What's Wrong?

Seems like you have caught a common cold which is caused by a virus. The symptoms of cough, headache, fever, mucus in the throat and feeling weak can be seen. To feel better try taking more liquid, rest and maybe over the counter drugs for colds. Seek medical advice if you do not improve after one week or if they become severe.

Why have I been coughing and struggling to breathe?

It seems like you’re having a hard time. Not being able to breathe well and coughing for more than 3 weeks is strange. A bad cold or even asthma can cause these problems. But it could also mean that there’s something wrong with your lungs. If you don’t take care of it right away, then you might have even more trouble later on. Usually, you’ll need drugs that help you breathe better and cure any infection. So I think seeing a pulmonologist as soon as possible would be the best thing to do.

Will my 60-year-old mother recover from viral pneumonia?

Viral pneumonia takes longer to get better compared to the flu. I’m glad that she is recovering from the flu. Symptoms of pneumonia include difficulty breathing, productive cough, and chest pain. To cure the infection, antibiotics will be administered among other drugs. She needs to have enough rest and time too. Therefore, follow the doctors’ instructions and be patient with her.

Will Prominence in Broncho Vascular Markings Affect GAMCA Clearance?

Even though you've tested negative for Tuberculosis and have no symptoms, these markings might be due to previous inflammation or infection. It's important to follow up with your doctor to make sure everything is okay before going abroad for a job. Get a thorough check-up and any additional tests your doctor recommends.

How should I use Sevfurane 50 inhaler safely?

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.

What over-the-counter medicine for bronchitis cough?

if this is bronchitis, the problem is that there may be some swelling inside her lungs’ airways. It causes coughing, mucus and sometimes fever too. Give her lots of water to drink and let her have enough bed rest. Additionally, consider buying an OTC cough syrup with dextromethorphan for her. This will relieve the irritation in the throat making the cough less frequent and more productive. Do not exceed the recommended dose on the label without consulting a doctor or pharmacist first.

Why am I still coughing with lung infection medicines?

Based on what you’ve said, your persistent coughing, chest pain, and rapid breathing could point toward a long-term lung infection. In some cases, infections can still linger even after the antibiotics course is completed. Therefore, my advice is that you return to your pulmonologist for a check-up to ensure everything is fine and seek additional treatment if necessary.

Could lingering cough and chest pain be post-infection symptoms?

Chest pains and breath problems may occur sometimes after getting a lung infection. Keep in mind that it could be inflammation in your lungs or heart. And also don’t forget that it may lead to critical consequences if not treated immediately.
