Question 1

Hi doctor, I had tuberculosis and completed my treatment. But now, after finishing the treatment, I sometimes notice blood in my mouth. Is this something I should be worried about?

Accepted Answer

It's important to take any instance of blood in the mouth seriously, even after completing TB treatment. It could be related to residual lung issues, irritation, or other causes such as a throat infection or bleeding gums. I recommend consulting with your doctor for a thorough evaluation and to rule out any complications or new conditions.

Question 2

I recently got an X-ray done because of a job-related issue, and the report mentions "bronchovascular marking in the lung fields." Im a little concerned about this, especially since Ive been experiencing a mild breathing problem, which gets worse whe...

Accepted Answer

Bronchovascular markings on an X-ray indicate inflammation or congestion, but antibiotics are only effective against bacterial infections; to prevent lung infections and manage symptoms, consider consulting your pulmonologist

Question 3

My doctor prescribed Montek LC for a month, but Im breastfeeding and Im wondering if its safe to take it for that long. Is there anything I should be concerned about while breastfeeding?

Accepted Answer

Very low levels of montelukast appear in breastmilk. Montelukast is approved for use in children as young as 6 months of age and has been used in neonates in dosages far greater than the amounts in breastmilk. Amounts ingested by the infant would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants No special precautions are required.

Question 4

Hi doctor, I was prescribed Duolin inhaler and Foracart 400. I know Foracart 400 is for daily use, but should Duolin be taken daily too, or only when there's an emergency or worsening of symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Duolin inhaler is typically used for emergency relief of acute symptoms like wheezing or shortness of breath in conditions such as asthma or COPD. It is not meant for daily use. On the other hand, Foracart 400 is prescribed for daily use to help manage chronic respiratory conditions and prevent flare-ups. Always follow your doctor's instructions for proper usage.

Question 5

I got an X-ray report that says my trachea is in the midline. Is that normal or should I be concerned about it?

Accepted Answer

A midline trachea, as indicated by your X-ray report, is generally considered normal, as the trachea typically runs vertically through the thorax, slightly to the right of the midline, but a perfectly midline trachea can also be a normal anatomical variation.

Question 6

Hi, I recently had a blood test done, and it shows that my eosinophil count is high. Ive also been having breathing problems at night with a wheezing sound when I breathe in or out. What should I do next? Is there something I can adjust in my diet to...

Accepted Answer

It sounds like your high eosinophil count may be related to an allergic reaction or respiratory issue like asthma. I recommend following up with your doctor for further evaluation and possibly allergy testing. In the meantime, avoid allergens, and include anti-inflammatory foods like omega-3-rich fish, fruits, and vegetables in your diet.
