I'm really worried because I've had a fever since last night and I can't take any medicine because I'm breastfeeding my 4-month-old daughter. Along with the fever, I'm dealing with a headache and body pain. Can you recommend a mild medication that's safe for me to take?

Lung fibrosis can be a challenging condition to manage. Considering a lung transplant is a significant decision, and it's great that you're exploring options for your father.

In India, lung transplants are possible, and several hospitals offer this procedure. One such hospital is the Max Super Speciality Hospital in Delhi, which has a dedicated lung transplant program . Their team of experts includes some of the best lung transplant surgeons in India.

To be eligible for a lung transplant, your father will need to meet certain criteria, including:

Severe lung disease diagnosis: A confirmed diagnosis of end-stage lung disease, such as lung fibrosis.

Suitability for surgery: Your father's overall physical condition should be stable enough to withstand the transplant surgery.

Absence of other untreatable conditions: Your father should not have other untreatable medical conditions that could complicate the transplant or recovery process.

It's essential to consult with a lung transplant specialist to determine if your father is a suitable candidate for the procedure.

Additionally, you can also consider other hospitals in India that offer lung transplant services, such as:

Fortis Hospital in Delhi

Apollo Hospital in Chennai

Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital in Mumbai

I've been dealing with a cold and a runny nose for the past week. I find myself coughing every few minutes. What could be causing this and what can I do to feel better?

I'm feeling alright, but last week a cat scratched my leg, and I got a tetanus shot right away. Now, I'm wondering if I should be taking any other medications or doing anything else to make sure I'm okay. What do you think?

Since you've already taken Tetanus Toxoid (TT) immediately after the cat scratch, you're likely protected against tetanus; however, cat scratches can also transmit cat-scratch disease (CSD), caused by Bartonella henselae bacteria, so monitor yourself for symptoms like redness, swelling, or pus at the scratch site, fever, headache, or swollen lymph nodes
