Question 1

I've been having some issues with my breathing, and it feels like I'm choking when I cough. This has been going on for the past week. Before this, I'd been dealing with a cough for about 10 days. I'm taking medication prescribed by my doctor, but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. What could be going on, and should I be doing something different to get relief?

Accepted Answer

Take amoxclav 625 mg BD for 5 days , sinarets tab for 5 days and syrup ascoril 5ml trice a day

Question 2

Can you help me figure out my PFT report? I've been told I have allergic bronchitis. My x-ray and sputum culture look normal, and I used to smoke but quit. Right now, I'm mainly dealing with throat irritation, coughing, and nasal congestion, but no fever or trouble breathing. What can I do to keep these symptoms from coming back? I'm using kastilex ab tablets and furamist spray. Any advice would be great!

Accepted Answer

you might be having pharyngitis, take tablet. amoxyclav for 5 days twice a day

Question 3

I'm really worried about my dad. He's a smoker and he's got issues with sugar and BP. He came down with a bad fever and weakness over the last five days, but the tests didnt show dengue or typhoid. After admitting him to the hospital, he suddenly started having trouble breathing, was sweating a lot, and his oxygen levels dropped. The doctor had to move him to the ICU and put him on a ventilator. They said he's got pneumonia and his left lung is affected. They took a sample for a culture report, but thats going to take 35 days. He's been on the ventilator for the last 20 hours, but theres no improvement. His BP also dropped, but they managed to control it with a high dose of meds. We're all quite anxious and I'm just trying to understand what the recovery process might look like from here. Could you shed some light on what we should expect or do next?
