I've been dealing with a really bad cough lately, and I've noticed it's sometimes causing strain on a major vein in my left leg. It even hurts occasionally. Should I be worried about this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
If the pain in your leg is mild and seems related to the coughing itself, it may be a temporary strain or discomfort. However, if the pain is severe, accompanied by swelling, redness, or other unusual symptoms, it's important to seek medical advice to rule out more serious conditions like varicose veins or deep vein thrombosis.

View allMy mom is 65 and she's been dealing with a really bad cough for the past two months. We got an x-ray done, and the doctor said we need to do a CT scan. They found a nodule about 6.7mm by 6.2mm in the upper lobe of her right lung. It's non-calcified, and I'm really worried. Does this mean there's a high chance it could be cancer, or could it be something like bronchitis or pneumonia instead?
need to check report and do analysis to confirm

I've been in the hospital for pneumonia and all my blood tests came back normal except for the ESR, which is a bit high. I saw my sputum test results on the doctor's phone, and it mentioned something about Haemophilus influenzae, which I looked up and found it's a type of bacteria causing pneumonia. They've got me on Taximax 1500, Pulmoclear, Zipod CV 200, Linowin, and some Mucolytic syrup called Ambrolite. I used to have a low-grade fever thats been gone for about 34 days now, but Im still dealing with this dry cough that just wont quit and gets worse a lot. Its been six days since treatment started, and Im still in the hospital. How much longer do you think it'll take for me to recover with the treatment Im on currently?
Yes,continue same treatment as advised by the physician.Patient is advised tab levocetrizine 10 mg orally,at bedtime for 5 days .

Oxygen levels are fluctuating between 90 and 94. I'm really worried because the reports came back negative, but the CT scan shows positive for COVID-19. The hospital isn't allocating a bed. What should I do?
