Your health tests came back normal which is good. However, the strange spots on the x-ray raise some concern. Those might show an infection like pneumonia. Antibiotics can help treat that condition. Do visit your pulmonologist again for more tests and proper treatment.

Can I take chest and cold medicine along with kit 6
Female | 21
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.

My daughter has had a pretty bad cough since Wednesday. We know it’s bronchitis, but we need some over-the-counter medicine for her to take. Do you have any recommendations?
Female | 13
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.

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.

This question is about my mother, 60 years old, with influenza type A that unfortunately led to viral pneumonia. She's hospitalized for the past 4 days, her flu seems to be subsiding, but the pneumonia is not. I am worried and I just wanted to know if she's gonna be alright doctor.
Female | 60
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.

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.

Female | 22
You are having hard moments with cough and chest pressure. These symptoms are the most common and may be triggered by the flu, common cold, or allergic reactions. They can also cause ear pain or a feeling of fullness due to the dryer air in the cabin. Before you can fly again or think of travel, you should prioritize a healthy and safe life. With resting, make the best of the situation by drinking more water and using a humidifier to relieve congestion.

Male | 15
You've had a lingering cough for over two weeks. A stubborn cough can be caused by colds, asthma, allergies, or environmental irritants. Taking Spetrin for five days was a good first step, but if the cough persists, a different approach might be needed. Drink lots of fluids, and get plenty of rest.

Male | 28
Post-nasal drip could cause your discomfort. Excess mucus draining down your throat can make you cough and feel sinus pressure around your forehead area. Food consumption might trigger it. Staying hydrated by drinking water regularly, and using saline nasal spray, could alleviate these symptoms.

You seem to have caught a respiratory infection. Symptoms like throat pain, phlegmy cough, fatigue, and mild fever often come with it. Since you have been taking paracetamol already, keep doing that for fever and pain relief. Also, try gargling warm salt water and resting up. If things don't improve or worsen, it's best to see a pulmonologist for further checks.

You're struggling to breathe properly, needing deep breaths frequently, especially during activity, meals, or work. A blocked nose can also make breathing difficult.

Male | 24
Your packed cell volume (PCV) of 43% is within the normal range for most adults. Shortness of breath and difficulty swallowing saliva can be caused by various conditions unrelated to your PCV level. It’s important to consult a pulmonologist for your breathing issues and a gastroenterologist for your swallowing difficulties to get a proper diagnosis and treatment.

I took promethazine dm syrup with diflucan for my sinus infection and bronchitis
Other | 28
You should not combine it with diflucan sinus and bronchitis infection medications. Promethazine DM syrup is a drug that contains an antihistamine and a cough suppressant, while diflucan is a medication with antifungal action. It is advisable to get a prescriber's advice before taking any medicine and follow their patient care course accordingly. For sinus infection and bronchitis, turning to a pulmonologist or an ENT specialist is recommended.
