Question 3

Ive been dealing with allergies for the past 2-3 years. After taking medication, it gets better for a few months, but then the symptoms come back. Recently, my doctor prescribed acebrophylline, but Im not sure if I should take it or consult another d...

Accepted Answer

Acebrophylline is commonly prescribed for managing respiratory allergies and asthma. If your symptoms persist despite treatment, its wise to follow up with your current doctor or seek a second opinion for a tailored long-term allergy management plan.

Question 4

I had a chest X-ray two days ago, and the report says "Bilateral prominent hila with prominent bronchovascular markings in bilateral lung fields." Im a bit worried about what this means. Is it something serious? Do I need treatment for it? Also, I so...

Accepted Answer

The X-ray findings suggest increased prominence of the lung structures, which could be due to various conditions like inflammation, infection, or early signs of lung diseases. Since you're experiencing shortness of breath, it's important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and appropriate treatment. They may recommend additional tests to determine the cause and guide you on the necessary steps for management.

Question 5

Hi, I had a plain CT scan done at Apollo Hospital in Chennai and the result showed no issues. But when I went for a medical check-up for Kuwait, the doctor told me I was unfit due to my chest x-ray. They mentioned something about an abnormality in my...

Accepted Answer

The discrepancy between the Apollo Hospital CT scan and the Kuwait medical checkup chest X-ray results suggests a possible error or misinterpretation; the "blunting of right costophrenic angle" and "white scar" may indicate a benign, old, healed lesion or scarring, and since the doctor said no medicine is required, you may want to consider a second opinion or a repeat CT scan to confirm the findings and clarify your fitness for work in Kuwait.

Question 6

Hi doctor, I have a question about the Febrex Plus tablet. Every time I take it, I end up coughing a lot, but there's no mucus. I'm wondering why this happens when I take Febrex?

Accepted Answer

Febrex Plus contains a combination of ingredients that can help relieve cold and flu symptoms, but one of its components, like the decongestant or antihistamine, may sometimes cause dryness in the airways. This can lead to a dry cough, as the body attempts to clear irritants without producing mucus. If this continues, it may be worth discussing with your doctor to adjust the medication.
