I'm really struggling with shortness of breath and it's been about a week. I saw my doctor and tried the medicine they recommended, but it didnt help much. I went back, and they switched my medication. It's a bit better now, but still not quite right. Years ago, another doctor suggested a different medicineI think it was Etiofylline theofylline, but I dont remember exactly. Do you think I can try taking that medication now?

View allI've had this cough for about six months now. I've been taking Sigcet M, Azithromycin, and Ceftriaxone, and also using cough syrup. I even checked my sputum three times, and it was negative each time. I did a CBNAAT test, and that was negative too. What should I do next? I'm really worried and looking for some advice.

I've been having some serious problems lately with throwing up right after I eat, and I keep getting these bouts of dry cough and cold. My recent X-ray showed something about 'moderate prominent broncho vascular markings'. What does that mean? Should I be worried about it? And could all of these symptoms be connected somehow? I'm really worried and would love your insight.
Could be indicative of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and possible respiratory infection. For the vomiting, you can take Omeprazole (brand name Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast. For the dry cough and cold symptoms, you can take Levocetirizine (brand name Xyzal) 5mg once daily at bedtime. It is also important to stay hydrated and avoid triggers that worsen your symptoms.

I've been dealing with this persistent cough for over a month now, ever since I recovered from COVID. It's really tough because it keeps getting worse at night. Last year around the same time, I had a similar issue where I coughed for more than two months. When I got an X-ray, the doctor said it was allergic bronchitis. The meds didn't help back then, but homeopathic treatments from Ayush did the trick. I'm really at a loss now though. Do you think I should get some tests done to figure out what's going on, or could you suggest any medicines that might help?
start tablet mucinac for 5 days twice a day
