Question 1

I'm really worried and need some advice. Every morning when I gargle and cough, I end up vomiting, and there's blood in it. It's like clear sticky sputum with blood streaks. This mainly happens when I force myself to vomit after coughing once or twice, and I get a bloody taste in my throat. But if I don't cough and just vomit voluntarily on an empty stomach, there's no blood, just clear sticky mucus. Is this what they call pseudohemoptysis? Could this be happening because of trauma from coughing too hard? What should I do?

Accepted Answer

Sputum for AFB and microscopy,x-ray chest pa view, complete blood count,esr and C-reactive protein is advised to the patient.

Question 2

I'm an asthma patient since I was 15 years old. It used to be under control, but in the past year, it's gotten worse. When I eat tomatoes, I start getting phlegm, cough, wheezing, and shortness of breath. My doctor told me to use one puff of Seroflo 100 daily. But what I'm really curious about is why I seem to have such quick mucus production. What kind of care should I be taking?

Accepted Answer

take tablet mucinac for 5 days

Question 3

I've been diagnosed with covid and my CT score was 25, and my scan showed a 225 pt infection in the upper right lung. I've been on medication like ivermectin, clavum, mondeslor, zincovit, limcee, and dolo for the past three days. Ive also been doing steam inhalations three times a day and drinking hot lemon water and kadha. Now, Ive started coughing and my oxygen levels are around 98-99, plus I'm feeling a little short of breath. I dont have a fever though. Do you think I should start taking a steroid like medrol, or should I stick to my 5-day treatment plan with cough syrup and steam inhalation for now to see if things get better?

Accepted Answer

continue the treatment you will be fine

I've been experiencing this sudden shortness of breath over the last few months, and it's starting to really worry me. It comes out of nowhere, and I can't seem to pinpoint why it's happening. What could be causing this, and should I see someone about it?

Budesonide 200 inhaler sos for breathing difficulty is advised to the patient.
