I've been dealing with a cough for about a month now. I saw a doctor, and my lab results showed it was typhoid. I did the prescribed treatment for a month and stopped, and while I'm not feeling super sick anymore, I'm still not feeling 100% either. I get this occasional deep dry cough a few times a day, and my doctor mentioned it might be allergic bronchiolitis and could stick around for a while. I also feel weak sometimes and have loose motions on occasion. Do you think I should see a doctor again? If so, what kind of specialist would be best? Or is this something that happens after typhoid and will eventually go away on its own? I'm just a bit worried since it's been a month already.

I'm having trouble breathing and I've already done an ECG, echo, treadmill test, and angiography, and they all came back normal. Are there any other tests or possibilities we should explore? I'm really worried because I still feel like something's off.

My father-in-law just had a chest X-ray today and the report mentioned something about prominent bronchovascular markings in his lung field. Could you help me understand what this means? Is there any chance this could be a sign of something chronic?

it might be due to infection

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

I'm really worried about my father's CO2 level, which is at 85 in his blood. He's currently in the ICU at IGIMS Patna. Can anyone advise on how we might be able to lower it? Is it possible to reduce his CO2 level while he's there?

Physician opinion is advised to the patient.
