Question 1

I'm living in a cold climate, and for the past couple of years, as winter approaches, I've noticed I have this ongoing breathing problem along with a cough that produces phlegm. It seems to linger all winter long. I've tried using some anti-cough syrups, but they haven't really helped much. Do you have any advice on what I should do?

Accepted Answer

drink warm water  , tab tusq for 5 days

Question 2

I'm checking my oxymeter, and it's showing a reading of 97. I'm a bit worried though because I read somewhere that oxymeters also pick up carboxyhemoglobin, so the real oxygen level might actually be below 90, maybe even 80. I've been feeling restless and anxious about this. I have some breathing issues, like I get tired when just eating or talking. Plus, when I wake up, I can really feel the air passing through my nose and throat, but my throat feels swollen. I'm on an Ayurvedic treatment for acidity for the past two months since I tried allopathy for one and a half months before, but it didn't work, and the issue keeps coming back. I also experience body pain and weakness. I had a chest X-ray, CBC, sugar test, abdomen sonography, and kidney function test about 15-20 days ago, and everything was normal. So, is it alright to rely on the oxymeter reading in my situation?

Accepted Answer

yes if its working properly

Question 3

I'm dealing with this constant breathlessness and I'm not sure if it's from a cold or maybe GERD. I'm having a hard time expanding my chest sometimes, and when I wake up, one of my nostrils is often blocked. Ive had an echo, ECG, TMT, and a chest X-ray done, and all are normal. Every now and then, I take theophylline, which seems to relax things, but I'm still unsure what's actually causing these issues. Could you shed some light on what might be going on?

Accepted Answer

drink warm water , aboud cold conditions and ice cream and junks

I recently had a mantoux test done and now, 48 hours later, there's this 20mm red and swollen area where the injection was given. I'm a bit worried about what this might mean health-wise. Any insights on this?
