I've noticed some blood in my sputum, but I don't have any pain in my throat or chest. What could be causing this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Coughing up blood, also known as hemoptysis, can be caused by several factors such as an infection, bronchitis, or even nasal bleeding. If there's no pain in your throat or chest, it could be due to mild irritation or inflammation in the airways. However, it's important to get it checked by a doctor to rule out any serious conditions.

View allI'm wondering how long it usually takes for my IGE levels to go down. I've been on Spirodin 650 and Montemac FX, but I'm still having trouble with my breathing. When should I start feeling like I did before?
Spirodin 650 is a brand name for Montelukast, which is used to treat asthma and allergic rhinitis. Montemac FX is a combination medication containing Montelukast and Fexofenadine, used for allergic conditions. If you are experiencing breathing problems while taking these medications, it is important to consult your doctor immediately. They may need to adjust your dosage or switch to a different medication to alleviate your symptoms. Monitoring your IGE levels is also important, but the time it takes for them to decrease can vary depending on the individual and the underlying condition. Regular follow-up with your doctor is recommended to track your progress.

I've been wondering if it's a good idea to get tested for TB every year to catch it early. Also, is it possible to have active TB without showing any symptoms?
The most common test for TB is the Mantoux tuberculin skin test or the TB blood test. Early detection can help in timely treatment and prevent the spread of the disease.
