Hi, my mother age is 65 and she is having a continuous cough even though she has tried different medicine and cough syrup suggested by different doctors. Sometimes she used to take the inhaler prescribed by the doctor. But still she faces the cough problem. Please suggest some medical tests so that I can get this checked properly. Also if any medicine and cough syrup which can help her. I would focus more on complete tests to find further problems, so that i can get this checked. Thanks

In February, I had a cough for about 15 days. I took some medicine in a bottle given by a nearby government hospital. Soon after, I developed a lung infection. Now, I'm experiencing the same symptoms again—mostly dry cough, occasional mucus, a feeling of something stuck in my throat, and a slight change in voice. Should I try any OTC medication first, or is it better to consult my pulmonologist directly this time? Please advise.

I was detected by scanty tb so my medicines were started my weight is 80 kg so doctor said me to take 6 tablets each consisting of rifampicin 150mg,isoniazid 75mg , pyrazinamide 400mg,ethambutol 275mg. After 2 months I have gone to different doctor he reduced every drug and said this is overdose and long term very harmful so he gave rifampicin 600mg, isoniazid 300mg,ethambutol 1000 mg. Is it right and will it cure remaining bacterias

Lungs High paining when            Breathing,            Running,            Laughing, How to solve my pain

My mother was 77 years old. She was under treatment for COPD for approx. 8 years however the problem was chronic. She had hard time moving due to breathing difficulty but she was lucid, conscious and following her routines at home. From 1st March 2025 she started to have problems like fever, she was treated and recovered within 2 weeks. She was complaining of rapid breathing in night and dullness. We visited her regular pulmonologist twice and he noted 87% SPo2 on 4th April. On 16th April she was diagnosed with lungs infection by another doctor and started to have vaginal bleeding. We hospitalized her one of the biggest hospital in Bhopal on 18th April. At hospital her CO2 was also raising. She was given antibiotics like tazar and was on ventilator. Infection didn't improve, we lost her on 25th April 2025. How she was looking ok at home and condition exacerbated in hospital? Does her condition seems like COPD exacerbation? One pulmonologist diagnosed her with allergic asthma in 2018 .

Hi Doctors, Im 45 years old and suffering from morning cold and sneezing since childhood. I used to take Cetirizine during my school and college days. Then Levocetrizine. Monthly 2-4 tablets. From last 10 years im taking Montecope whenever I feel too sneezing and running nose and within 1-2 hours i feel better.. From the last 1 month i have stopped taking Montecope and im experiencing too much of mucus and phelgm... My throat is full when I woke up early morning. After every meal I feel to split phelgm/mucus. And whenever I exhale wheezing sound is coming from nose and when I exhale from mouth also... When i take deep breathe, I feel some vibration in my lungs... Im really very worried how to get rid of this wheezing sound from lungs and get rid of unstoppable phelgm/mucus... Please reply in detail. Can this be cured by allopathy or homeopathy? I never had this long cough issue before. Pls don't advise for just consultation. Is this the side effects of taking levocetrizine/Montecope?

Hello, my mother is having chronic coughing from last 1 month. Today blood reports came and it has ESR of 120. Rest everything is fine in reports. Will it get better through medicines only?
