Question 1

I'm experiencing some side effects from using the Seretide Accuhaler, and it's starting to concern me. Is there anything I can do to manage these side effects better? Or maybe you could suggest an alternative treatment that might work for me without these issues? I'm looking for some guidance on what to do next.

Accepted Answer

nausea, vomiting, sleep problems,sinus pain

Question 2

I'm a bit worried because my x-ray results show I have a lung nodule. I'm applying to be a public teacher, and I don't have any pain or issues in my lung area, and I rarely cough. From what I know, a nodule isn't a communicable disease, so do you think I can still get a fit-to-work clearance?

Accepted Answer

Patient is advised bronchoscopy,FNAC and biopsy of the nodule for further management.Nodule biopsy is sent for cytology,micoscopy and AFB .Kindly review with the reports.

Question 3

Ive been having a bit of a struggle with breathlessness even when climbing just a couple of floors, which is unusual for me since Im generally healthy and active. Not too long ago, I had a nasty infection and was coughing up a lot of yellow-green phlegm. It went on for nearly a week, and during that time, I found myself gasping for breath like it was asthma, though it didnt turn into a full-blown attack. I used an inhaler to help with the breathing. An Ayurvedic doctor mentioned that I have very shallow breath intake and low lung capacity. Could you provide some advice or suggest ways to improve this?

Accepted Answer

Patient is advised tab augmentin 625 mg ,orally, thrice daily for 7 days, tab levocetrizine 10 mg bedtime for 5 days and syrup salbutamol 10 ml thrice dailly for 7 days .E cg and x-ray chest pa view is also advised to the patient.
