Question 1

So my dad had a normal eosinophil count back in July but then he got a fever and a dry cough. We used medicines and everything seemed normal afterward. But then a month later, he got a fever and cough again, and when we did a CBP test, it showed raised eosinophils. It's been a week now, and he doesn't have a cough or fever anymore, but the eosinophil count hasn't gone down. I'm wondering how we can bring these down. We used Delcar forte 250mg for 5 days. Do you think we should get another test done? Should I be worried about his eosinophil count not reducing? I compared the test report with the last one to see the difference. What would you suggest?

Accepted Answer

Patient is advised to continue same treatment.

Question 2

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 3

I've been dealing with this choking sensation for almost a year now, and it really feels like I'm short of breath. I end up coughing a lot, trying to make it better, and it kind of feels like I'm going to vomit, but nothing ever comes outno vomiting, no sputum. I haven't had any fever either. I got a chest X-ray done a couple of days ago and everything seemed normal, and about five months ago, I had an HD Chest Scan, 2D Echo, and another X-rayall normal too. I'm taking Montek LC half a tablet at night and using an inhaler, but nothing's helping. What could this be?

Accepted Answer
