Is drinking a lot of water good for your kidneys?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, water helps the kidneys remove wastes from your blood in the form of urine. Water also helps keep your blood vessels open so that blood can travel freely to your kidneys, and deliver essential nutrients to them.

View allI'm really worried about my dad. He's been on dialysis for 10 years and was recently admitted to the hospital with a really bad lung infection. They tried some antibiotics like merotac and mucinac but those didnt seem to work. Then they sent his sputum culture to Hinduja hospital, and once they figured out the bacteria, they switched up his treatment. He was on Mikacin and Zonamax for a bit, and then they put him on Altitpod CV 200. He's doing a bit better now but his cough hasn't improved at all, and he still needs oxygen when he feels tired after walking a bit at home. I'm just wondering if you think the treatment he's getting is right and if there's anything we can do to help with his cough. Any advice you could offer would be great.
Probable diagnosis is upper respiratory tract infection.Patient is advised tab augmentin duo 625mg thrice daily, for 5 days, tab pan d,orally once daily for 14 days ,syrup sucralfate 10ml thrice daily for 14 days.Also avoid spicy and hot items is advised to the patient.
