Question 1

Ive been dealing with sinusitis for the past 4 years. My right nostril often gets blocked with a lot of mucus, and sometimes whitish liquid comes out. I also experience a headache and a feeling of heaviness on the right side of my head. Given these issues, is it safe for me to take the COVID vaccine?

Question 2

I've been noticing a strange noise when I breathe, like a high-pitched hissing sound, especially when Im short of breath after running. It doesnt happen all the time, but when it does, I get a bit worried. I feel fine otherwise, but Im not sure what ...

Accepted Answer

The high-pitched "hiss" or puffing noise you're hearing while breathing after running could be related to slight airway narrowing or a bit of congestion, which can occur when you're short of breath. If you're not experiencing other symptoms like wheezing, chest tightness, or discomfort, it may not be a major concern, but if it persists, it could be worth discussing with your doctor to rule out any underlying issues like mild asthma or respiratory irritation.

Question 3

Hi doctor, I had tuberculosis and completed my treatment. But now, after finishing the treatment, I sometimes notice blood in my mouth. Is this something I should be worried about?

Accepted Answer

It's important to take any instance of blood in the mouth seriously, even after completing TB treatment. It could be related to residual lung issues, irritation, or other causes such as a throat infection or bleeding gums. I recommend consulting with your doctor for a thorough evaluation and to rule out any complications or new conditions.

Question 4

Ive been using turmeric steam for the past 3 or 4 days to help with my shortness of breath. I had a chest X-ray done, and it showed no abnormalities. Im also following the medication suggested by my pulmonologist, which I found through this app. I do...

Accepted Answer

Turmeric steam may provide some comfort but doesnt directly address shortness of breath caused by acidity or anxiety. Its good that your chest X-ray is normal and you're following your pulmonologists advice. Continue your prescribed medications (Rablet-D and AB-Flo), stay hydrated, and practice relaxation techniques to manage anxiety. If symptoms persist, follow up with your doctor.

Question 5

My grandma has mild asthma, and sometimes she breathes heavily. My aunt, whos a nurse, suggested giving her Duolin and Budecort in a nebulizer when she has trouble breathing, either together or separately. We usually give it to her once or twice a we...

Accepted Answer

Hi, it's important to use Duolin and Budecort in a nebulizer only as prescribed by a doctor, as dosage and frequency depend on your grandma's specific condition. Typically, they can be given separately with a gap of at least 15-20 minutes, but please consult her doctor for personalized advice to ensure safe and effective use.

Question 6

Hi doctor, Ive noticed that my SPO2 fluctuates between 89 and 99, mostly staying around 92-95. I often get throat infections, possibly from sinus drainage, and occasionally have upper respiratory infections. Could this be the reason for the low readi...

Accepted Answer

Frequent throat infections and sinusitis can cause fluctuations in your SPO2 readings, especially with post-nasal drip affecting your airway. However, since your chest X-ray, ECG, and echo are normal, its less likely to be a major underlying issue. Keep monitoring your symptoms, and consult with your doctor if the infections persist or worsen.
