Answered on 16th Oct '24
Tuberculosis (TB) is a serious infection that mainly affects the lungs. Symptoms include coughing, chest pain, weight loss, and fatigue. TB is a contagious disease that spreads through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Your uncle should stay in his room until he finishes his treatment, as TB can spread to others. To prevent this, certain measures should be followed. It's important to follow your doctor’s advice to protect both yourself and your uncle.

Male | Shikhar Bomzan
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.

I am govindu 58 year old, im suffering from uneasy breathing since 1 month. doctor suggested to take HRCT scan. Can you explain the reports of HRCT SCAN.
Male | 58
An HRCT scan, recommended by your doctor, allows them to view your body and identify the possible cause of your shortness of breath. This scan can reveal issues like infections, inflammation, or lung scars. Based on the results, your doctor will suggest the most suitable treatment, such as medications or other therapies.

Since couple of days, I ’m suffering with cold cough and fever .. to treat I referred previous prescription of my family doctor and took following medicines - Zyrocold - 1-0-1 Zyzal - 1-0-1 Solvin - 1-0-1 Calpol - as & when required Mucinac - 1-1-1 but still I’m not recovering My sugar and thyroid is in limits with regular medicines
Female | 56
Taking medicines didn't help you feel better, that's concerning. Colds, coughs and fevers are often viral, requiring tailored treatment. Stay hydrated, well-rested and nourished. However, revisit your doctor for re-evaluation. Tests may reveal the issue, allowing adjusted treatment. Struggling through illness alone risks complications.

Hello, good day. I have shortness of breath in the bronchi. The doctor prescribed me Salbutamol inhaler, lesetrin lukastin, bronchodilator Ansimar for allergies. I used these drugs yesterday. I masturbated today. Does masturbation affect these drugs? Does masturbation damage the bronchi?
Kişi | 30
Taking the meds your doctor gave for breathing trouble and allergies is key for managing symptoms. About your question on self-pleasure, it doesn't affect those meds or hurt your air tubes. Self-pleasure is normal and doesn't damage the lungs. Follow your doctor's advice and take meds as instructed. If worried about your health, talk openly with a pulmonologist.

I just had oral sex with my partner he ejeculated in my mouth but never kissed me he had pulmonary tb
Male | 26
I understand your apprehension about tuberculosis transmission. Lung tuberculosis disperses via airborne particles, not through saliva exchange. The likelihood of tuberculosis transmission through oral intimacy is minimal. Common tuberculosis indicators: persistent coughing, unintended weight reduction, and persistent fatigue. Should you exhibit any of those manifestations, coupled with prior exposure history, consulting a pulmonologist is important.

Female | 35
The pain you are experiencing is because of pneumonia. Follow up with your doctor to evaluate and ensure that the pneumonia has been fully treated. Your pulmonologist may perform additional tests or imaging to know the cause of your pain and provide appropriate treatment.

you should see a pulmonologist to conduct tests for breathing problems. Also, you need to consult the gastroenterologist to assess your abdominal distension. Other consultations with a rheumatologist may also be necessary for your swollen fingers.

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.

Male | 27
These symptoms could be respiratory infection, bronchitis, pneumonia, or other conditions. It's possible that the initial treatment may not have fully resolved the underlying issue, or there may be another cause for your symptoms that requires further investigation. Check with your pulmonologist.

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.

i'm been detect have influenza. Tamiflu are no longer have used to me. May i know any other medicine or option that can reduce the effect of influenza?
Male | 27
The flu is caused by a virus, not bacteria. It can make you feel sick with symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, and body aches. Since taking Tamiflu is not in the picture anymore, it is vital that you take good rest, drink lots of water, and take pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen to help get rid of the symptoms. These help to relieve illness and severe pain. Make sure to stay at home and avoid infecting other people with flu.

I have been coughing for the last 20 days but it is not getting better. I consulted a doctor but the doctor checked me with a stethoscope and told me that my chest is clear. Before this he gave me Biopod CV, Cicof D and Wellkast medicines. But when I did not get relief and the course of medicines was over, he gave me Bilast M and Rabeprazole 40mg. It has been 10 days since I started taking the medicine but still I am not getting relief. Please suggest me which medicine should I take so that I get complete relief.
Male | 31
You seem troubled by a stubborn cough lasting over 3 weeks. It's wise to visit a pulmonologist for an evaluation. Allergies, asthma, or infections often cause lingering coughs. Since medications haven't helped much, tests like X-rays may identify the source and proper treatment. Don't ignore this prolonged issue; consult your physician promptly.

I wanna talk about chest infection
Male | 55
A chest infection happens when germs enter the lungs. Breathing becomes difficult. You might cough constantly, feel short of breath, and experience chest discomfort. Viruses or bacteria frequently cause this condition. To alleviate symptoms, get plenty of rest, drink water regularly, and use a humidifier. Additionally, inhaling steam or taking warm showers can provide relief. However, if symptoms worsen, it's crucial to seek medical attention from a pulmonologist.

Little amount of blood with phlegm
Male | 19
This type of incident can occur due to the inflammation in your airways caused by a cough or infection. The blood could be in the form of light streaks or spots. Generally speaking, it's nothing serious, but it's a good idea to visit a doctor anyway. Be sure to drink a lot of water, and take a break, and if it doesn't go away or gets worse, contact a pulmonologist for precaution.

You've had a fever and cough lingering. Although you've tried treatments, symptoms persist. A respiratory infection, like pneumonia or bronchitis, could cause this. It's vital to visit a healthcare provider. They'll examine your symptoms and recommend treatment: antibiotics potentially, rest, fluids for recovery. Seeing a pulmonologist is crucial for proper care and feeling better soon.

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.
