Have I received appropriate treatment for lung tumor growth?
I had cancer with a thymoma gland - and it was removed by surgery - and I received 3 doses of chemotherapy protocol V I B - then a small tumor appeared in the right lung - and I took 3 sessions of radiation therapy - then the size of the tumor in the right lung increased to 14 cm - and I took 6 chemotherapy sessions (ganzara). Please, can I find a suitable treatment for you, please?

Answered on 28th Oct '24
Lung metastases from cancer can result in cough, dyspnea, and chest pain. The therapy you underwent has been difficult, but it is worrying that the tumor in your right lung has increased so much. In this context, further investigation and possibly intervention such as surgery, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy might be the next step. It is crucial to consult your doctor about your case to determine the optimal path.

I am 22 years old and l am having breathing difficulties with chest congestion. I am forced to travel by air this week while l want to refrain from travelling. Please suggest me reasons l can give to be unfit to travel as l have a tight schedule to visit the doctor.
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.

Female | 24
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.

I have had a low-grade fever on and off for about 6 days, cough with blood in mucus sometimes, although it may be blood from my nosebleed, and sore throat what could be the cause?
Male | 20
You might have a chest cold. That makes you cough and feel hot. The red stuff from your nose or throat could be from bleeding. But you should go to a pulmonologist to check. Be sure to drink a lot of water and juice. And rest as much as you can. Use a humidifier too. It puts water in the air so your throat does not get dry.

Hi there. I am asking this because I have consulted with my doctor before, and then got a second opinion with another doctor before and was told it was probably nothing due to me being so young. I was never given an answer to what is possibly going on. I started taking prescribed adderall in July 2020 for ADHD and started to experience shortness of breath about a year and a half ago. My blood pressure is never high, usually around 118/72 but my resting heart rate is usually in the 90s. The “shortness of breath” feeling is how I can describe this feeling of needing to constantly take a deep breath, and most of the time the deep breaths aren’t satisfying. I have to sometimes reposition myself and sit up straight or lean forward, etc to get a good adequate deep breath. But even when I get a good deep breath, it doesn’t satisfy me enough to stop the urge. The “short of breath” feeling pretty much persists all day, it just comes and goes. I assume it correlates with the adderall. I experimented before and stopped taking my adderall for two weeks, and the short of breath feeling stayed days after I stopped taking the adderall. It stayed over a week of me quitting the adderall, and that was a year ago when I first experienced the symptoms. So I don’t know if it’s related to the adderall, or if it’s something else. I do occasionally have heart palpitations with or without adderall, although they are harmless. I do not have palpitations during the shortness of breath episodes. I do suffer from bad seasonal allergies, but currently I haven’t been feeling any of the usual seasonal allergy symptoms so I don’t know if I’m even in season yet. I don’t know if this is allergy related but I’m on prescription allergy medicine (singulair) and it is still happening. So I was wondering if this is a cause for concern or not? Do you think this could be cardiac related, or potentially something else? My dad does have extensive cardiac history but I am young and am not worried. I just do not want to overlook any potential concerns just because of my age. I have tried asking my doctors but I don’t want to keep switching doctors and have them not take me seriously, or think I’m being a dramatic person. I just want a fair answer based on my symptoms instead of getting a “you’re young I’m sure your fine” answer.
Female | 22
You've noticed a breathing issue for some time now. This recurring shortness of breath can feel scary. It stems from conditions like asthma, anxiety, or medication side effects like Adderall. Since your family has heart troubles, tell your pulmonologist. They could order tests to examine your heart or find other potential reasons.

My grandmother is diagnosed with Pulmonary edema. We need to immediately taker her to Gurgaon which 5 hrs journey from our hometown. Can u please suggest some preliminary care/ tips for her immediate relief. Also like to know if this disease is curable?
Female | 80
This occurs when fluid collects in the air sacs of the lungs. Signs may include shortness of breath, problems breathing, coughs, or wheezing sounds. To make her more comfortable on the trip to Gurgaon, try to sit her up and give oxygen if it is available then keep her as calm as possible. In most cases, drugs are given as treatment for pulmonary edema which works by getting rid of extra fluids from the lungs besides dealing with its root cause like heart failure. Proper health care can help control signs but the urgent need for a pulmonologist's attention is necessary.

Irregular Fever and tonsilitis dry cough and fever feels at nighttime and in day whenever I used to sleep
Male | 21
It appears that tonsillitis with a dry cough and irregular fever which worsens at night might be the issue at hand. Tonsillitis often brings about a throat ache and enlarged tonsils. The fever could be a result of an infection. It is advisable to take a lot of fluids and soft foods as well as resting. Gargling using warm salt water helps to reduce the pain in the throat. If the symptoms persist, visit a pulmonologist.

I am having fever and cough for about 30 hours, I am taking paracetamol, I am feeling relief for 4-5 hours, then I am waking up like this, and I am also coughing.
Male | 24
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.

She says she had an attack when she was trying to tell us she is not able to breathe well.Since that day she is worried and little anxious that same incident might not occur.This gave us an idea of meeting a pulmonologist who can help us.kindly suggest
Female | 12
It is best to have your daughter evaluated by a pulmonologist. The pulmonologist may recommend a variety of tests to assess her breathlessness, including a chest x-ray, spirometry, a complete blood count (CBC), and a complete metabolic panel. Depending on the results of the tests, the pulmonologist will recommend additional tests, such as an electrocardiogram (ECG) or a pulmonary function test (PFT). Additionally, the doctor can recommend taking medications to help manage her symptoms. It is important to monitor her closely for any changes in her breathing patterns.

An HRCT scan, recommended by your doctor, allows them to view your body and identify the possible cause of your shortness of breath.

allergy triggers by the start of oct and lasts for 1-2 months(pollution period). Is there a cure for it and who should I consult?
Male | 28
In October, if there are allergies that last for a period of 1 to 2 months, they may be caused by the pollen or the mold. Sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes are the typical signs of this. Go see an allergist to find the cure. They may also prescribe nasal sprays or antihistamines as treatments. It is best to avoid triggers by keeping the windows closed.

Hello doctor I am 21 year old male I am suffering from irritation in back of my throat and mild whizzing sound when I exhale forcefully, it usually happens at night, and I previously experienced 3,4 times shortness of breath and excess mucus when I inhale smoke or dust accidentally. what is the problem?? Please reply
Male | 21
Asthma symptoms can involve throat irritation, wheezing, shortness of breath, and excess mucus - especially when exposed to smoke or dust. Asthma is an airway issue where inflammation and narrowing happen. This makes breathing harder. It's crucial you see a doctor to get properly diagnosed and a treatment plan outlined. This may involve medications like inhalers that help manage symptoms and prevent asthma attacks from occurring. Your description sounds like you might be experiencing asthma, so getting it checked out by a pulmonologist is important.

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.

Gala me coughing Head sir bhari rehne Stomach pain halka halka
Male | 23
These symptoms could be either a common cold or a stomach bug. The coughing may be provoking your throat and thus making you feel heavy in the head. Drinking plenty of water, resting, and eating light, healthy foods are the ways you can get better. If it doesn't get better, it's better to go to a pulmonologist.

My granddaughter had a slight fever and a cough sense yesterday. The fever is gone but the cough is still there. I gave her some cough drops which didn’t work. Her cough became more consistent. Her mother gave her Tussin, a cheaper version of Robitussin. Now she’s vomiting. Is this a sign of Whooping Cough? She’s 7 years old
Female | 7
This typically occurs when a person coughs so much, it makes them sick to their stomach. In children, particularly in toddlers, this can be alarming. It is an infectious disease characterized by coughs that produce a “whooping” sound. It is caused by bacteria and affects the respiratory system. If left untreated or not properly managed, it can cause serious complications, especially in young kids.
