I've been having some health issues lately that I'm getting pretty worried about. Last September, I had ear pain, a throat infection, and a cold. After visiting a doctor, I went through a round of antibiotics - Taxim O, Cheston Cold, Chymoral Forte, and Ciprofloxacin drops. Everything seemed to clear up, but then about a month later, I got a really bad throat infection again. The doctor then prescribed Yofix Az 250 mg Cefixime, Azithromycin, Chymoral Forte three times a day for a week, along with Syrup Gryllinctus for a wet cough and Betadine gargling. The throat thing cleared up after about 15 days, but now I'm dealing with something concerning. I cough up black phlegm, mostly in the mornings, and sometimes theres a tiny hair in it, plus Im having this slight feeling of breathlessness. Drinking hot water with honey and turmeric or apple cider vinegar seems to help a bit, but I'm still really anxious about it. With the whole lockdown and corona situation, I havent been able to make it to a doctor in person. What should I do?

View allI'm really worried because I've been dealing with ILD for the past two years. It's made breathing really tough and I've got this persistent cough that won't go away. I'm currently taking Mucinac and Pirfenex tabs. Could you help me understand if there's anything else I should be doing or taking to manage these symptoms better?
It sounds like you're managing ILD with Mucinac and Pirfenex, which help with mucus clearance and lung function. Breathing issues and persistent coughing are common in ILD, so it's important to follow up regularly with your doctor to monitor your condition and adjust treatments as needed. If your symptoms worsen, let your healthcare provider know.

I've been having some issues with my left lung and just got my x-ray results back. It shows there's some blunting at the bottom of my left lung. I'm a bit worried about what this might mean. Can you help me understand what's going on and what steps I should take next?
Blunting at the bottom of the left lung on your X-ray could indicate fluid accumulation or scarring, which may result from infections, pleurisy, or other conditions. Its important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and possible tests to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.

I'm a 34-year-old woman and I've been struggling with wheezing, asthma, and a constant cough and cold for years now. I've been using Asthalin inhalers and syrup every day for my wheezing and Ascoril syrup for the cough, but it just feels like things are getting worse. I'm really worried and wondering what kind of treatment I should be looking into, or if there are certain doctors I should meet, especially if things get critical. Can you give me some advice?
It sounds like your condition may need a more comprehensive approach. I recommend visiting a pulmonologist to reassess your asthma management and explore options like long-term control medications (e.g., inhaled corticosteroids). If you're experiencing frequent worsening, consider visiting a hospital with a specialized respiratory unit, such as a multispecialty hospital with 24-hour emergency care. If the symptoms worsen, don't hesitate to seek immediate medical attention.
