Question 1

I've been dealing with a persistent cough and heavy sputum production since I was diagnosed with TB and Sarcoidosis in November 2015. I completed my treatment by November 2016, but the symptoms haven't improved. The sputum is clear and seems to increase a lot right after I eat or drink anything. I'm really concerned and unsure about what to do next. Could you help me figure out what might be going on?

Accepted Answer

take one course of oral antibiotics

Question 2

I've been dealing with asthma since I was 3, and for a while, around when I was 18 or 19, I was doing really well. I was playing football and doing all sorts of activities that aren't typically recommended for asthmatics. But in the last couple of years, I quit playing football, and since then, I've gained weight and my breathing issues have worsened. Now I'm back to relying on my regular medications like Alegra M, the inhaler Salbair, and Formoflow. Lately, I find myself struggling to hold my breath for even half a minute, and I'm going through an inhaler every couple of days. Could you suggest any tips to help me manage my current situation better?

Accepted Answer

avoid allergens. avoid cold items. steam inhalation

Question 3

I've been having this problem lately where I'm really short of breath, sort of like when I had asthma a few years ago. But it's weird because I don't have a cough or anything else with it. It's starting to worry me a bit. Do you think it could be the asthma coming back, or could it be something else? What should I do about it?
