Question 1

I've been dealing with walking pneumonia quite a bit; it happens at least three times every year and has been like that for around eight years now. It seems to be getting worse each time and lasts longer too. I'm really worried it might be something serious like lung cancer, especially since Ive been smoking cigarettes and was exposed to a lot of secondhand smoke growing up. Is it normal to get walking pneumonia this frequently, or should I be talking to a professional about it?

Accepted Answer

COPD , DO PULMONARY FUNCTION TEST

Question 2

My wife has been on Akurit4 for her TB treatment, and it seemed to be going well, but now, on the 15th day, she's got this fever of 102 again. Is this something that happens during TB treatments? When can we expect the fever to go away?

Accepted Answer

CONSULT PULMONOLOGIST

Question 3

I've been dealing with a running nose and a blocked left nostril for the past three days, making it hard to breathe comfortably. The cough started two days ago, and I'm coughing up white phlegm with some severe wheezing. The left side of my chest hurts when I touch it. I've had asthma for about 12 years and usually rely on homeopathy, but this is the first time in two years it's gotten this bad. What would you recommend for quick relief?

It can take a few days to a couple of weeks to notice significant improvement with inhalers like Foracort 200, as they help reduce inflammation in the airways. If you're not feeling better soon, it's a good idea to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation.
