Question 1

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?

Question 2

I've been having this recurring discomfort in the upper left side of my chest for about 45 days now. It all started after I went for a run, breathing through my mouth in the cold weather, and I felt like I'd somehow injured the tissues on that side of my chest from the pressure. The discomfort seems to come and go, sometimes with clear mucus when I cough. I did have a bout of cough and cold about a month ago, and since then, the discomfort seems to be happening more often. I've already seen a general physician who said not to worry and gave me some meds, but they haven't really helped. There's no history of heart issues or high blood pressure in my family. What do you think could be going on?

Accepted Answer

take tablet mucinac for 5 days

Question 3

I've had TB when I was just 3 years old, which was like 22 years ago, and I recently found out it left some scars on my lungs. I never really knew about it until now when I went for a medical test for a job in Kuwait. I was so bummed to hear that I was declared medically unfit because of this. Now, I have another job offer from Saudi Arabia, and I really don't want to miss out on this chance. Is there any way to reduce the visibility of these scars? They seem pretty light to me and there's just two spots that show up on an X-ray. Can you suggest any treatment that could help them not show on the X-ray?

Accepted Answer

I understand your concerns. Scars in skin from past injury do not go away similarly scar due to old tuberculosis in lungs also do not go away and there is no treatment for same

I recently quit smoking and I'm really concerned about the tar that's built up in my lungs. I'm hoping to clean them out and go through some kind of lung detox. Can you tell me how I can do this effectively?

do regular breathing exercises
