Is coffee good for lungs?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
From limited research done, coffee consumption was associated with some positive effects on the respiratory system. Few small studies have shown coffee was associated with reduction of asthma and coffee with natural honey was effective for persistent post-infectious cough. There was however limited available evidence to establish its effects.

Coffee and Lung Health:
- Coffee contains caffeine, which can have bronchodilator effects, potentially aiding in opening airways temporarily.
-
Moderation:
- For a 45-year-old male, moderate coffee consumption is generally safe and may offer slight benefits for lung function.
-
Considerations:
- Underlying Conditions: If there are lung issues like asthma or COPD, coffee might provide mild relief but should not replace treatments.
- Lifestyle Factors: Smoking cessation, exercise, and a healthy diet are more impactful on lung health than coffee.
-
Conclusion:
- Moderate coffee drinking is unlikely to harm lung health and might offer slight benefits. Consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice if there are specific concerns.

View allI'm 21 and have been dealing with wheezing for the past 5 months. I've seen several doctors and they all mention it's due to mucus build-up. They prescribed me some tablets, and I've completed the course, but it's still not getting better. A few have also mentioned that I have a condition called pigeon chest, and that this could be why recovery is taking so long. I'm really tired of taking meds with no relief. What can I do to actually get better?
Physiotherapy opinion is advised.Also chest arthosis and bracing is advised to the patient.

I'm a bit concerned because I had a cough and cold for a few days, and then I got a fever, which hit a really high of around 103.5. I took Azithromycin 500 for five days, and thankfully, the fever is gone now. But on the last day of taking the antibiotics, I ended up coughing up blood twice, though it was just a couple of spots and it stopped the next day. Its been two days now, and I havent had any more bleeding. Ive attached some pictures that show the bloody phlegm, but now I'm not coughing any blood. The blood I saw was mixed with mucus. I also had a chest X-ray, and it showed mildly prominent bronchovascular markings and a horizontal fissure. Do you think I need a CT scan, or is this something normal that happens? I'm really worried about this.
