Question 1

I'm really worried because I've been having an irritated throat with a lot of coughing. Even scarier, I'm noticing some blood coming up when I cough. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

Accepted Answer

The presence of blood in your cough could be due to irritation of the throat or respiratory tract. I recommend you take a cough syrup like Benadryl Cough Formula (dosage: 10ml three times a day) to help soothe your throat and reduce the coughing. Additionally, you can use a throat lozenge like Strepsils (dissolve one lozenge slowly in the mouth every 2-3 hours) to help with the irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

Question 2

Will using Duonase nasal spray for 5 months, with a dosage of 2 sprays in each nostril twice a day, suppress my immune system and stop my body from producing specific HIV antibodies? I'm a bit worried and would love your insight on this.

Accepted Answer

Considering your prolonged cough and negative sputumCBNAAT results, it's essential to re-evaluate your condition.

Consult a pulmonologist or a chest specialist for further assessment.

They may recommend additional tests, such as:

Bronchoscopy
High-resolution CT scan
Allergy testing

Continue taking your prescribed medications and cough syrup as directed.

Re-evaluate your treatment plan with your doctor to ensure optimal management of your symptoms.

Question 5

I've noticed that my uvula seems to be swollen or maybe even infected. It's weird because it doesn't hurt when I swallow, but it just feels like something's there and kinda irritating. Should I be worried about this, and what might be causing it?

Accepted Answer

Considering your symptoms:

Bad breath and tongue bumps may indicate oral thrush or poor oral hygiene.
Alternating nasal blockage could be due to a deviated septum or nasal polyps.
Frequent burping may be related to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or swallowing air.

Given your underlying conditions (thyroid problem, vitamin D deficiency, calcium deficiency, and fatty liver), consult:

A gastroenterologist to investigate GERD and fatty liver.
An ENT specialist to examine your nasal passages and tongue.
A dentist to assess your oral health and provide guidance on hygiene.
