Question 1

I'm experiencing some pain near my ribs when I breathe in and I also feel short of breath after climbing stairs. I went to a cardiologist and all the tests came back normal, so they recommended I see an orthopaedist. Should I go to a pulmonologist instead to get this checked out?

Accepted Answer

consult a pulmonologist

Question 2

I've been dealing with an allergic bronchial cough for the past 12 years. It tends to get really bad during the winter months, and this time it kicked off around November. I usually dont find much relief with medicines or inhalers, but I tried Ascoril plus syrup recently, and surprisingly, there's been some improvement. I'd say the cough is about 50% better, and I'm hoping it continues to help. I've been taking 10 ml of it, three times a day, for the last three days. Im just a bit worried about how long I can safely continue to use this medicine and what the proper dosage should be. Also, I've noticed some tremors in my hands after starting it. Can you provide guidance on this?

Accepted Answer

take 5ml thrice a day for 1 week ,if to continue you can use it for 1 week more

Question 3

I'm kind of worried about my chest and I'd like some advice. My CT scan showed a subtle thin fibrotic band in the lateral segment of the right middle lobe, and they mentioned something about Corads3 being indeterminate for COVID infection, and the score was 01 out of 25. Does this mean its serious? I've been feeling heaviness and pain in the middle of my chest for the last 2 to 3 months. I'm anxious because my X-rays and all my other tests like blood work, ECG, endoscopy, and more came back normal. Ive been dealing with anxiety for about six months too. Could the CT findings be something to worry about?

Accepted Answer

take pantop 40mg for 3 days

Prominent bronchovascular markings include lung infection, asthma and oneumonia,cardiac failure and pulmonary hypertension etc. Tab augmentin 625mg ,orally,twice daily for 7 days is advised to the patient.
