Question 1

I'm really concerned because I've been dealing with constant colds, coughs, and I've just been feeling so weak and tired all the time. Sometimes I have trouble breathing, and I've noticed that I get chest pain regularly. Traveling seems to make things worse as I often get sick after. Even a bit of physical work leaves me exhausted. A doctor mentioned that 20% of my lungs aren't working properly. I'm trying to figure out if there's any effective treatment for allergic asthma and if there's any way my lungs can fully recover. Could you provide some guidance or suggestions on what I might do? I'm really hoping to hear something reassuring.

Accepted Answer

yes there are medications for asthma , if he isa young his lung can become normal

Question 2

I'm a bit worried because I had a viral and throat infection two weeks ago, and while most symptoms have gone, I still have a cough with brown and yellow phlegm for about 1.5 weeks now. Should I get a chest X-ray to check if everything's normal, or should I be looking into a TB test?

Accepted Answer

no need  of tuberculosis test

Question 3

Is it true that 90% of our lungs can get damaged just from carbon molecules without them even doing anything? I'm kind of worried about what this means for overall lung health and how we can protect ourselves from this damage. Any advice on how we can prevent this or keep our lungs in better shape?

Accepted Answer

Yes ,Carbon monoxide can cause lung damage by preventing oxygen from reaching the blood-stream.

I've been dealing with phlegm for about a month now, but I don't have any other symptoms that make me feel like I'm sick. I've already talked to a local doctor, but I was hoping to get a second opinion on what might be going on. Any ideas?
