Why do I have persistent dry cough after throat problem?

Patient's Query

I have only dry cough over 10 days before that I had throat issue

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

When your throat is inflamed, it can sometimes lead to a lingering cough as well. In fact, postnasal drip from the initial throat issue could be causing this dry cough to stick around. To help ease your symptoms, try staying hydrated, using a humidifier, and soothing your throat with warm tea or honey. If the cough persists or worsens, it would be wise to consult a physician for further evaluation and guidance.

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.

Male | 25

It's important to inform your healthcare provider about any medications you're taking, especially antibiotics like flucloxacillin and ampicillin, as they may affect the results of your chest scan. Your doctor will advise you on whether it's safe to proceed with the scan while on these medications, considering your current health condition. Always follow your doctor's guidance regarding medical procedures.

Night sleep breathing problem

Male | 42

A persistent cough and runny nose could indicate whooping cough, especially if your baby recently had a fever and took antibiotics. Whooping cough is a contagious respiratory infection that causes severe coughing fits. Make sure your child rests, drinks plenty of water, and uses a cool-mist humidifier to ease the cough. Monitor their condition and contact their doctor if you have further concerns.

Dr i mrs martha Gomes 55 years old lady having severe breathing problem special ly when iam lying down and also while doing work

Female | 55

You are not doing so well with your breathing, particularly when you are lying down or doing activities. These symptoms can be the result of, for example, heart problems or lung problems. Sometimes, conditions as heart failure or asthma might be the reason for this. A doctor's visit is the most reliable way to get the right diagnosis and treatment.

I want to know about the TB

Female | 55

TB, a common shorthand term for tuberculosis, is a life-threatening disease caused by bacteria that mainly affect the lungs. Humans with TB might experience, amongst others, the following peculiar signs: prolonged cough, chest pain, losing weight, and fatigue. The transmission occurs when a TB patient coughs or sneezes with a built-in airway and thus spreads the bacteria from person to person.

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.

Sir, my ESR is 64 or there is infection in the right region in the x-ray, do I have TB? And I am on antibiotics (IV Fluid) but the infection has still not gone down, so what should I do next?

Female | 23

You expre­ssed worry about tuberculosis. TB affects blood te­st results like ESR, causing high readings. It cre­ates infections visible on X-rays too. Howe­ver, these signs are­ not exclusive to TB. Various infections or dise­ases produce similar effe­cts. The antibiotics not clearing the infe­ction is concerning. It suggests the ne­ed for different me­dication or further tests. Finding the root cause­ is vital.
