Question 1

I've had this cough for about 20 days now. Went to the doctor last week and got prescribed Pulmoclear and Telekast-F. But after taking them for just a couple of days, my cough has actually gotten worse. Can someone advise on what I should do? It's really concerning me.

Question 2

I've been feeling kind of worried since yesterday. I was spray painting my bathroom cabinet for around 5 to 10 minutes, and I didn't use a mask. About 20 minutes later, I started feeling short of breath. Today, I'm still experiencing some shortness of breath, though not as intense as before, and there's a bit of coughing. A friend gave me some cough drops which helped a bit, but I'm concerned if I should just wait it out a few more days or if it's necessary to head to the hospital. What do you think?

Accepted Answer

Its possible that inhaling the spray paint fumes irritated your airways, causing shortness of breath and coughing. If your symptoms are improving, rest, stay hydrated, and avoid irritants. However, if you feel worsening shortness of breath, chest tightness, or persistent discomfort, its best to visit a hospital for evaluation.

Question 3

I'm really worried about my mom. She tested positive for Corona about 15 days ago and was just discharged from the hospital 2 days ago after receiving a Dexamethasone injection for 5 days. Her fever is gone, but she's still having some issues like occasional cough, weakness, and chest and back pain when she coughs. How long do you think these symptoms will stick around?

Accepted Answer

for almost 2 weeks

Why are coughs worse at night?

When laying flat, mucus gets pooled up in the throat since nose and throat are connected and this causes coughing
