Question 1

Please take a look at my X-ray and ultrasound reports. I've had a cough for 25 days now, with episodes of coughing so hard that I vomit, which has happened about 90 times. The coughing only happens once or twice a day, but it can go on for around 35 minutes each time. I also have mild to moderate pain in my abdomen and chest. My weight has dropped from 78 to 65 over the past three months. Initially, I was told I had malaria, but the test was positive one day and negative the next, so I'm not sure about that. What do you think could be causing the cough and vomiting?

Accepted Answer

might be lung infection, take syrup ascoril twice a day for 1 week

Question 2

Sometimes when I breathe in, I hear this weird whistling sound. It's mostly when I inhale, rather than when I exhale. Do you think that's something I should be worried about? I don't really have any other symptoms and I'm feeling pretty good overall, but the noise is kind of strange and I'm not sure if it's something that needs urgent attention. Is this normal or should I get it checked out?

Accepted Answer

Ecg and chest x-ray pa view is advised to the patient.

Question 3

I'm really worried about having dust in my lungs because I've started coughing up bloody sputum. It makes me feel a bit scared about the health of my lungs. What should I do to fully diagnose the cause of this? Could this be weakening my lungs? Would really appreciate some advice.

I'm experiencing this weird thing where every time I breathe, there seems to be a sound coming from my lungs, and I start coughing non-stop. Plus, I can't seem to get a good night's sleep because of it. Do you think there's something wrong with my lungs, or could it be something else?
