Question 1

I've had this cough with mucus for almost a month now, and it's really starting to worry me. The doctors say it's allergic bronchitis, and my x-ray showed something, but even with the medication, I feel like I'm only getting partial relief. I still hear this wheezing sound in my chest that makes it hard to breathe. They just prescribed me an inhaler, Seroflo 250, for emergencies, but I'm not really satisfied with how things are going, especially since its been dragging on for so long. Plus, after taking Augmentin, I feel a kind of stabbing pain in the middle of my right lung and a slight pain in my right kidneynot too bad, but its there. They suggested checking for COVID, but when I called the helpline, they said I didnt have the symptoms. I'm honestly super confused about what to do next. Im willing to continue treatment but just need some answers about what's really going on. What should be my next steps?

Question 3

My father recently had aneurysm surgery and also has a hernia along with diabetes. His doctors suggested a sleep study, which showed he has sleep apnea. Now we're not sure which specialist to see for this should it be a pulmonologist, neurologist, or physician? He already has multiple health issues, so we want to make sure we consult the right doctor for his sleep apnea.

Accepted Answer

Sleep apnea is best managed by a pulmonologist; they coordinate CPAP therapy and monitor breathing‚Äîimportant especially with heart and diabetic issues.

I'm really worried about my dad. He's got asthma, just like his dad did, and Im not sure, but is having a cold related to asthma? Hes had a runny nose for about 15 days now. Could this be because of his asthma, or do you think it might be something else? What should we do?
