I've had a really bad cough for the last couple of days, and there's a wheezing sound when I breathe sometimes. I've been taking Rex cof syrup, but it hasn't helped at all. I did a COVID test, and thankfully, it's negative. I'm just wondering if there's any other medicine or treatment youd recommend for this cough?

I'm experiencing some concerning symptoms after being prescribed certain medicines for my breathing issues and high IGE levels. I've been taking Omnacortil, starting at 40 mg and tapering down, but after finishing the 30 mg dose yesterday, I decided not to take it today because I've been having blurred vision, confusion, and feeling really weak. I've also stopped taking Histafree M two days ago, and I finished my course of L Cin 500. The only thing I'm still taking is Zincovit. Could these symptoms be caused by the medication, or is there something else going on? I'm really worried and would love some advice.

Physician opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm feeling a bit worried about my health right now. After having a fever, I tested positive for Covid on November 19th and started with medication from a govt doctor. A few days later, I consulted a private doctor who suggested a CHET Test HRTC, and I've just received the results. It says there are multi-focal small ground glass opacities in my lungs, predominantly on the sides and back. The CORADS is 6 and the CT severity score is 52. Im currently on a few medications - Asthakind DX, Dexona 0.5mg, Scavista 12mg, Esoga cap, Immugard, Calpol 650mg, and doing mobilization with Budecort 1mg. I'm just not sure if my report is good or if the meds are doing their job. I've started to experience chest pain and weakness. My current SPO2 is 98, pulse rate is 85, and my temperature is 98.6. Could you advise on my health and how my report looks?

Based on your CT scan showing multi-focal ground glass opacities, it's important to monitor your condition closely, especially with ongoing chest pain and weakness. Your medications, including Asthakind DX, Dexona, and others, seem appropriate for managing symptoms, but it's crucial to follow up with your doctor regularly to ensure you're recovering well. Keep monitoring your oxygen levels and seek immediate care if symptoms worsen. Your SPO2 of 98% is a positive sign.

I've been dealing with this morning cold that lasts for 12 hours every day for about a year now. Initially, I thought it was just a dust allergy, but it's been getting worse. Could it be something else? What should I do?

You may be experiencing allergic rhinitis. I recommend trying an antihistamine such as Cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) 10mg once daily in the morning to help alleviate your symptoms. Additionally, using a nasal corticosteroid spray like Fluticasone (brand name Flonase) 1-2 sprays in each nostril daily can also be beneficial in reducing nasal congestion and inflammation. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it would be advisable to consult with an allergist for further evaluation and management.
