Is persistent wheezing with mucus a severe asthma symptom?
I have a cold or flu or covid and my asthma is a lot worse than it has ever been. I am wheezing constantly and my reliever inhaler is not reducing the wheeze at all. I have a lot of mucus stuck in my chest and constantly coughing does not seem to be getting rid of the mucus and I think the mucus is causing me to wheeze constantly
Pulmonologist
Answered on 14th Oct '24
Wheezing may be due to the mucus in your chest that is obstructing the air passage. The coughing may not be enough to dislodge the mucus. Adherence to your inhaler prescription is crucial. Sipping enough fluids and taking a humidifier can ease the mucus. Get medical help from a pulmonologist if the situation gets worse.

The symptoms you mentioned, such as hoarseness, difficulty speaking, and ear pain, could be post-viral laryngitis. It is one of the possible post-viral complications following a viral infection like COVID. Make sure to rest your voice, drink plenty of fluids, and steer clear of irritants such as smoking. If the symptoms do not go away, it is a good idea to visit an ENT specialist for a more detailed examination and treatment.

I’m on a medication that causes hyperkalemia if I take NSAIDs with it. I have very high inflammation, Doctors have prescribed Naproxen, Ibuprofen, Toradol and Meloxicam. They all made me ill for days. Is there any medication for inflammation that won’t interact with Hyperkalemia?
Female | 39
You are having’ medications that are causing issues with your potassium levels. You need to avoid NSAIDs such as Naproxen, Ibuprofen, Toradol, and Meloxicam because they can aggravate your high potassium levels. You may discuss with your doctor the possibility of using Acetaminophen or Celecoxib medications, as they usually do not affect potassium levels. Consult your doctor before making any changes to your medication routine.

What happened to me? I get asthmatic attacks from dairy products regularly. But this time, even though I did not consume any dairy products lately. I have one of the worst one I ever had, got an asthma attack, my eyes are red and specific areas of the left part of my lips is puffed up for some reason. I've consumed a large quantity of dairy products before and the reaction wasn't nearly as severe.
Male | 13
You might be having a more serious allergic reaction which could cause your asthma symptoms to worsen; it may also cause swelling in areas such as your lips. Although now you haven't consumed dairy, allergies sometimes develop gradually and give rise to severe reactions. Allergies can often be so severe that they cause the eyes to become red. You should stay away from dairy and consult an allergist to establish your triggers and to receive the correct treatment.

To ease the pain, she can use warm compresses, take pain relievers like ibuprofen, and avoid activities that aggravate the pain. If the pain does not go away or becomes more severe, she should consult a pulmonologist for further treatment.

Why is my cough somewhat black in colour...idid smoke in my past.
Male | 22
The tar and the other chemicals from smoking that are trapped in your lungs may cause you to have a black-colored cough. This means that the top layer of your lungs, which is trying to push out the harmful substances by coughing, is functioning properly. It's an indicator that the natural healing process of your body is working. To improve the condition of your lungs, it is critical to stop smoking and utilize water to clear out the tar that causes your cough.

My mother is 68th yr old and have cough issue, we meditate her properly nd have completed every possible test regarding cough, all test reports are normal. She couldn't sleep an hour properly Plz help us.
Female | 68
Coughing for a long time can still appear despite the normal test results because of other causes such as postnasal drip or acid reflux. These problems can lead to the throat getting more irritated and the cough lasting longer. To support her in getting more sleep, you may want to raise her head while she is sleeping and make the room humid. Besides that, avoiding bad triggers such as smoke or strong odors can be useful. If the situation persists, a visit to either a pulmonologist or allergist might be a good thing.
