Question 1

I'm dealing with some pretty nasty seasonal bronchitis  it's like I can't catch my breath, my chest feels heavy, and there's this annoying wheezing sound. They did an asthma test and said I don't have it, but the doctor gave me doxycycline 400mg and montelukast. Thing is, it's not really helping. What else can I try?

Accepted Answer

start ciprofloxacin for 5days

Question 2

I've been dealing with an allergic bronchial cough for the past 12 years. It tends to get really bad during the winter months, and this time it kicked off around November. I usually dont find much relief with medicines or inhalers, but I tried Ascoril plus syrup recently, and surprisingly, there's been some improvement. I'd say the cough is about 50% better, and I'm hoping it continues to help. I've been taking 10 ml of it, three times a day, for the last three days. Im just a bit worried about how long I can safely continue to use this medicine and what the proper dosage should be. Also, I've noticed some tremors in my hands after starting it. Can you provide guidance on this?

Accepted Answer

take 5ml thrice a day for 1 week ,if to continue you can use it for 1 week more

Question 3

I'm really struggling with my breathing the last couple of days. It feels heavy and I'm breathing super fast, plus I'm yawning all the time. My heart's been racing too, and it's making me so anxious. My nose is clear and my hemoglobin's normal, so I'm at a loss about what's going on. I'm constantly worrying about my breathing now and focusing on it just seems to make it worse. Any idea what this could be? It's really stressing me out.

Accepted Answer

because of anxiety, you are having this difficulty in breathing. reduce stress, anxiety

I'm currently on medications for MDR TB and have been taking them for the past two months. For the last 15 days or so, I've been experiencing a lot of sweating during both the day and night. Is this something that's common with the treatment, or should I be worried about something else?
