Question 1

I've noticed that whenever I take a deep breath, I start coughing, especially at night. I'm wondering if this might be a chest cold? Could you recommend any medicine that might help?

Accepted Answer

take syrup ascoril twice a day for 5 days

Question 2

I've recently been diagnosed with bronchitis and had this persistent cough with thick phlegm. The doctor gave me some meds, and I'm feeling better now, but he suggested doing a PFT test if possible. Now, I'm wondering if it makes sense to just do the PFT test on its own, or should I also get a chest X-ray with it? Or maybe a CT scan of the chest would give clearer results? I'd love some guidance on what's best to do next.

Accepted Answer

Chest x-ray with pft is advised to the patient.

Question 3

I'm really in need of some advice on this annoying chest pain I've been experiencing. I had covid back in January with a really bad cough and something called "covid tongue." My HRCT scan looked normal, and I was treated with Fabiflu. But a week after I started feeling better, I began getting this dull chest pain mostly around my sternum. I got an X-ray, which mentioned increased bronchovascular prominence, and a PFT showed COPD in the restrictive area with moderate obstruction. My doctor put me on Foracort 200 and some muscle relaxants, which helped, but the pain still bugs me at night, sometimes radiating to my mid-back. I've had two normal ECGs and another CT scan recently, which showed nothing unusual in my lungs. It's been four months, and I'm still waking up with this chest pain. What's going on with me, and how much longer might this take to get better?

Accepted Answer

it is restrictive lung disease and it will almost take 2-3 months to treat it

I've been diagnosed with bronchitis after checking my x-ray, and I've taken a lot of antibiotics, but now I'm having pain on the lower right side of my chest. The weird thing is I don't have any cough at all. I've just started taking Prentiss 800. What should I do next? Any advice would really help.

it's gastritis because antibiotics will cause gastritis sometimes
