Question 1

Good morning Sir/Madam, My son is 3.4 years old. He started with a simple runny nose which later turned into a dry cough. It has been one month that he is on treatment. Initially, he took cold related medicines for almost two weeks, including Cetrizine, Phenylephrine, Dextromethorphan, and Chlorpheniramine, but had very little improvement. Later, he developed ear pain, so he was given Augmentin antibiotics. He improved for only two days and then again started having a severe dry cough. His vitamin D level was found to be 53, and he is taking weekly 60000 IU. The doctor told us it is bronchitis and prescribed Levolin and Budocort three times a day. Even after 20 days of using the pump, there was very little improvement. Now, he has been given Prednisone and Cefixime for five days, but he is still coughing continuously, today is the third day of this treatment, and there is very little improvement. He does not have a fever. Please suggest what I can do to help his improvement?

Question 5

Hi all. I have been having a chronic scratchy throat almost every month. It comes like a cold, stays for 5 to 6 days and then goes away. I was a smoker earlier, so I did spirometry to check whether it is asthma or COPD. Both reports were negative and the doctor advised Montek AB for 3 weeks. I also have acidity and gas issues for which I am taking Nexium D in the morning and Pan D in the evening. Today my CBC and blood report came (see attached). My serum IgE looks high. Can anyone review these two reports and let me know what is going wrong in me? My mean platelet volume is 13.6. Do I need to worry?

Dear Doctor, I have severe sneezing and wheezing and my eyes and ears are also itching and having irritation. Sneezing for more than 100 times in a day, minimum 10 to 20 each time I sneeze, is making my life miserable. I am also struggling with sleepless nights, which is increasing my symptoms even higher. How can I tackle this issue? I found my eosinophils count is a little higher than expected. I am yet to receive the complete blood report. But this problem has been consistent for more than 3 years. Please suggest a way to get out of this miserable living. When I sneeze, urine leaks. In the morning, as soon as I wake up, I sneeze like hell and my stools also leak due to severe and unstoppable sneezing. I hope you are able to see the life I am living. I do not know which treatment or which specialist is suitable to treat my problem. Please help and direct me to the correct treatment. Thank you, Durgalakshmi.
