Question 1

I'm dealing with a really bad cough for over 40 days now. I've been using inhalers and the nebuliser, like Budesal and Foracort, and taking meds like Livotiz and some lifestyle tabs. I'm worried it's not getting better. What should I do next, and is there something else I could try?

Accepted Answer

Patient is advised ecg,sputum for AFB,microscopy and chest x-ray pa view. Also continue all the medications.

Question 2

I've been having chest pain since my ATT treatment back in 2016, especially when I breathe in. It gets worse with cold weather, drinking cold water, or after a cold shower, even during summer. I've told my doctor, but my reports have always shown normal results. In 2020, I saw a pulmonary doctor who found Multiple Centrilobular Nodular Opacities in the basal segment of my right lower lobe and bilateral axillary lymphadenopathy. They thought it might be TB and did a bronchoscopy, which came back negative. I've been using the inhaler Formoflo 250, but the pain is still there. This winter was rough with the pain getting worse, and I started having skin issues and hair loss. I'm worried because I'm ANA positive 4, but my CT thorax, X-ray, and ECG were normal, though I do have hypothyroid and low hemoglobin. My cough is mostly dry and orange, with a little blood occasionally. I'm currently taking Paracetamol 650 for fever due to the chest pain. What could be causing all of these symptoms, and what should I do next?

Accepted Answer

take a painkiller, tablet zerodol

Question 3

I'm really worried because my oxygen level has been fluctuating between 88 and 90 for the past three days. I'm 52 years old and weigh 95 kg, and my blood test came back normal. However, my CRP level was 35 mgL on April 13 and then went down to 8.60 mgL by April 27. What should I do about this situation?

Accepted Answer

there might be chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,kindly refer to a pulmonologist

I'm really worried about ILD and whether it's curable or not. I've read online that people with ILD only live for about 3 to 5 years. Is that true? Is there anything specific I can do to help manage this disease? Id really appreciate any advice or remedies you can suggest.

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.
