I'm noticing some black spots in the phlegm that I'm coughing up. Could you help me understand what this might mean? I'm a bit concerned.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The presence of black spots in phlegm from your mouth could be due to various reasons, including fungal infections like oral thrush, poor oral hygiene, or inhalation of pollutants; however, it may also indicate more serious conditions like bronchitis, pneumonia, or lung abscess, so it's essential to consult a doctor or a pulmonologist for a proper evaluation and diagnosis to determine the underlying cause.

View allI'm waking up every morning with a super watery nose and it's making it hard for me to breathe. I know I have asthma and bronchitis at a minor stage, and I've been using Budamate 400 rotacap to help with my breathing. Is there anything else I should be doing or any advice you could give?

I'm really worried about my health after getting some tests done. My esionophils count is at 10.5 and my general doctor had me do a chest x-ray, which showed signs of COPD. But the thing is, I hardly ever smoke. So I went to see a pulmonologist, and they had me do a PFT, and I've attached those reports here. I'm really nervous about whether this is COPD or asthma. I have a cough, and sometimes a little phlegm comes up. Last year, I had a brief time where I felt short of breath while sleeping, but it went away in a day or two and hasn't happened since. No other symptoms apart from a cough starting mostly after March when I had a throat infection. I took antibiotics and ab phyllin, and now my cough is occasional. My esionophils are 10.5, and my IgE serum is at 400. Also, my mom, who's 60, has an asthmatic tendency. Can you help me figure out if this is COPD or asthma, and is it something that can get better? I don't smoke, drink, or work around chemicals...
it is asthma , if you have symptoms then only proceed with medication, otherwise take it whenever it is required

Is it possible for me to completely get rid of wheezing if I stick to a strict medication plan, diet, and exercise within a year? I've been eager to join marine engineering since I was a kid, and I really need to get myself fully prepared for it. I've been dealing with wheezing for the past couple of years, mostly in the mornings when I wake up, but sometimes it happens at other times too. I'm set to join a marine college next year after finishing my BTech, and I need to be in top-notch medical condition. I'm thinking about starting swimming and running every day with the right medical advice and proper diet. Do you think this could help me get fit enough, without any wheezing issues, in a year's time?
Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.
