I'm really worried about my mom's cough. A few years back, especially during winter, she was using a nebulizer. Do you think it's okay to start using it for her again now?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
-Yes, you can use a nebulizer for your mother's cough, especially if it helped her in the past. However, it's best to consult a doctor to ensure the correct medication and dosage are used, as her condition may have changed.

View allI've been dealing with this dry cough for 25 days and now I'm starting to feel pain in my chest whenever I cough. My breathing's gotten faster too, especially at night - the cough is so bad that I can't even sleep. What could be causing this, and what should I do?
Coughing can inflame lungs and air passages, leading to chest tightness. This symptom should improve when the cough clears up

The pus from my cervical TB infection was drained but the lump hasn't gone away yet. The lab confirmed it's tuberculosis and I'm on FORECOX (Isoniazid, Pyrazinamide, Ethambutol) twice daily. Should I get any other tests done to check if the treatment is working or if there's more going on
It's important to monitor the progress of your cervical TB treatment and the lymph node after draining the pus. While the drug regimen you're on (FORECOX) is effective, additional tests may be needed to confirm the effectiveness of the treatment and rule out any other potential complications.

I'm just a bit concerned about some lingering symptoms after recovering from COVID-19. I spent 9 days in the hospital and was discharged once my symptoms eased up. My CT chest report mentioned 5 to 10 viral pneumonia with no fibrosis, and they said it was corad 5. Bloodwork was all normal. It's been 30 days now, but I still have a mild dry cough, tightness in my chest, and occasional nausea that comes and goes. Is this something to worry about, or is it a normal part of the recovery process? Also, is the 5 to 10 viral pneumonia significant, or nothing too serious?
it is normal, but try increasing your immunity
