Question 1

I'm really concerned about something and I was hoping to get some advice. I've been inhaling steam directly from the stove for the last 45 days, about three times a day. Initially, doctors said steam wouldn't cause harm, but now my health is declining. I've even damaged my lungs, and it's been really painful. Could the steam be the reason? I feel like it's affecting me a lot and I'm worried. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

refer to cardiologist

Question 2

I'm dealing with a persistent dry cough that's been bugging me for the past 6 months. I've tried all kinds of antibiotics, but nothing seems to kick it. All my lab tests have come back normal, so it's really puzzling. Any ideas on what could be going on, or what I could try next?

Accepted Answer

Persistent dry cough for 6 months despite normal lab reports and antibiotic treatment may indicate underlying conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), postnasal drip, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, or even habit cough, so consider consulting a pulmonologist

Question 3

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been having these breathing issues for around two weeks now, and he's coughing up some whitish stuff, but he hasn't traveled anywhere recently. We did an X-ray and it seems like his heart might be a bit enlarged. Could this be what's causing his breathing trouble? Our city's in lockdown and I can't get him to see a doctor in person. No doctors seem available in our government hospitals too, so it's a real struggle. He's currently on Levo Mac 500, Dezacor 6, and Montegesic LC. What should we do?

Accepted Answer

Continue same treatment,Also continue seroflo inhaler sos for breathing difficulty.
