Question 1

Hi Doc, my doctor mentioned that my child is allergic to climate change. We're giving her nebulization for now, but shes still coughing a lot. Is this normal? Should we be doing something else or giving her any other medication to help with the coughing?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like your doctor suspects an allergy triggered by changes in the weather, which can worsen symptoms like coughing. Nebulization should help with breathing, but if the coughing persists, it's important to follow up for additional treatments or medications to manage the allergy better.

Question 2

I just got my X-ray result, and it says "right apical PTB of undetermined activity." I also did a sputum test, which came back negative for TB bacteria, and I dont have any symptoms of TB. I had this disease 14 years ago, but Im unsure what the X-ray...

Accepted Answer

The X-ray result indicates a past, likely healed, tuberculosis (TB) infection in your right lung, with "undetermined activity" suggesting no current active infection, which is supported by your negative sputum test and lack of symptoms.

Question 3

I recently had an X-ray and the report suggests an apicolordotic view. It mentions pneumonia in both parahilar regions and right lower lung, with pleurodiaphragmatic reaction and both hemidiaphragms involved. I'm a bit worried about what this means a...

Accepted Answer

The chest X-ray report suggests pneumonia in both parahilar regions and the right lower lung, along with a pleuro-diaphragmatic reaction, indicating inflammation of the lung linings and diaphragm, and recommends an apicolordotic view for further evaluation, which is a specialized X-ray view to better assess the lung apices and guide treatment for the pneumonia.

Question 4

I'm a 28-year-old female who exercises regularly, and recently I decided to check my blood oxygen level using my mom's pulse oximeter just out of curiosity. At rest, my oxygen saturation was 99%, but when I ran on the treadmill for a couple of minute...

Accepted Answer

It's understandable to be concerned, but a drop in oxygen saturation during exercise, especially at high intensity, can happen, particularly if you're pushing your limits. I recommend seeing a pulmonologist or a cardiologist to evaluate your lung and heart function. They can conduct tests like a stress test or pulmonary function test to assess your oxygen levels and overall health during exertion.

Question 5

Hi doctor, my father is 67 and lives in Haryana where it's very cold. Every year he develops a wet cough. We saw a pulmonologist 2 years ago, and he recommended using Brozedex, Budecort Respule, and another inhaler, but I can't remember the namemaybe...

Accepted Answer

It sounds like your father may be experiencing recurring respiratory issues due to the cold, especially given his smoking history and past CABG. The medications prescribed, such as Brozedex (a combination of bronchodilator and steroid), Budecort Respule (a steroid), and either Levolin or Duolin (bronchodilators), are commonly used to manage symptoms like wet cough and breathing difficulties. It would be advisable to continue these medications as prescribed but consult with another pulmonologist if symptoms worsen or if you're unsure about the third medication.

Question 6

Ive been dealing with sinusitis for the past 4 years. My right nostril often gets blocked with a lot of mucus, and sometimes whitish liquid comes out. I also experience a headache and a feeling of heaviness on the right side of my head. Given these i...
