Question 1

I'm feeling a bit worried because I've been having shortness of breath and a mild cough for the past two days, though my temperature and oxygen levels are normal. I have a nebulizer at homeshould I be using it? If so, what kind of medicine or combination should I use with it?

Accepted Answer

If you are experiencing breathing shortness and a mild cough, using a nebulizer at home can help with your symptoms. You can use a combination of albuterol sulfate and ipratropium bromide in the nebulizer. Remember to follow the instructions provided with your nebulizer for proper use.

Question 2

I'm dealing with mediastinal lymph node TB and I was wondering about my situation. I've been through CECT and EBUS, and the size was initially 7cm x 3cm. I used to have a fever, but thankfully that's gone now. However, I'm still coughing quite a bitaround 15 to 20 times a day. I've been on treatment for three and a half months, and my doctor told me it would be an eight-month-long process. Is this typical? I'm currently abroad, so I'm trying to figure out when to repeat the CECT. We've already done it twice since we had to travel, but the size hadn't reduced two months ago. Can you give me some guidance on this?

Accepted Answer

repeat cect after 6 months

Question 3

I've had this dry cough for a couple of weeks now, and it just seems to hang around. I don't have a cold or anything, but there's this constant feeling of something in my throat, almost like there's phlegm I can't clear. It's like my nose is dripping into my throat, which is super annoying. I had a Blood Picture test done recently, and I noticed the monocyte level is really low. Could that be causing this cough, or are they unrelated? Just trying to figure out what might be going on here.

Accepted Answer

use medicine

I'm a bit worried about my dad and wanted to get your opinion. He takes a capsule inhaler every day, and we're wondering if it's safe for him to get the Covaxin vaccine. He doesn't have any past allergies from vaccinations. Does this sound okay?

yes he can take
