I'm dealing with a dry cough and just found out my blood SGPT level is 60.5. I'm really worried and wondering if there's any link between this and bronchovascular lung disease. What should I be aware of?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Your SGPT level of 60.5 indicates mild liver stress, which might be unrelated to your dry cough. However, a persistent dry cough can sometimes hint at bronchovascular issues or lung conditions, which could indirectly affect overall health. It's best to consult a doctor for a detailed evaluation and management plan.

View allI'm really worried and need some advice. My dad tested positive for COVID on the 17th, but I tested negative, though I've got typhoid. I'm on cefixime, arithromyzin, and mucolyte, plus I've received 6 monocef injections. Lately, I've been dealing with this frothy mucus coming out of my mouth, and my nose is completely blocked. It's making it impossible for me to sleep because my throat's full of it, and my breathing keeps stopping. Is this mucus thing something to do with typhoid, or could it be something else going on? I'm feeling pretty anxious about it.

I'm a bit concerned about my x-ray report showing prominent broncho vascular markings, especially since I have a history of bronchitis. I'm 51 years old and commute for 2 hours daily. My previous PFT report was okay, but could this be something serious?
Your x-ray report showing prominent broncho vascular markings could be indicative of bronchitis or inflammation in the airways. Given your history of bronchitis and daily travel of 2 hours, it is important to manage this condition to prevent any exacerbation. I would recommend using an inhaler like Salbutamol (Ventolin) 2 puffs every 4-6 hours as needed for bronchospasm. Additionally, you can use an inhaled corticosteroid like Fluticasone (Flovent) 2 puffs twice daily to reduce airway inflammation. It is also important to stay hydrated, avoid exposure to smoke or pollutants, and consider wearing a mask during your daily commute to protect your airways. Regular follow-up with your doctor for monitoring and possible repeat PFT testing is advisable to ensure optimal lung function.
