37F seeking a second pulmonology opinion. For 5-6 months I’ve had intermittent dry cough, air hunger, chest tightness/heaviness, mild breathlessness while talking, and upper back ache. Triggers include dust, incense smoke, and cold air; warm humid air helps. Occasional wheeze on forced exhalation. Slight nagging pain at back between the shoulder blades is also there. I also have hoarseness, voice fatigue, reduced singing ability, and a history of reflux. Pulmonologist suspects CVA...but is it possible to have asthma when all reports are normal? Including Ige? Please suggest as though I'm on treatment, I'm clueless on what's wrong with me ... Feno result is 17. Attaching pft report .

Hello Doctor, My wife had a brain surgery on 20/04/2026 due to head injury and brain bleeding/clot. Today is the 8th postoperative day, but she is still unconscious and has not regained proper consciousness yet. Current condition: 1. She is still not responding normally. 2. Fever is persistent. 3. Blood pressure is fluctuating (up and down). 4. Secretions/mucus are still excessive and suction requirement has not reduced. 5. She is having difficulty clearing cough/phlegm on her own. 6. Overall neurological improvement is very minimal. We are worried because even after surgery there is no significant recovery in consciousness. Kindly advise: - Is this condition normal on day 8 after brain surgery? - What could be the possible reasons for delayed consciousness? - Does persistent fever and excessive secretions indicate chest infection or brain infection? - Should we continue at the same hospital or shift to a higher neuro critical care center? Please guide us urgently. Thank you.

I am consulting doctors for my 3.5-month-old male baby and would like an additional opinion. He developed seizures at around 45 days after a brief cough/cold illness. Currently, seizures are mostly controlled with medication, though occasional episodes occur, especially with weight gain, and are managed with dose adjustments. MRI brain and neuroimaging are normal. Blood tests are normal. EEG shows abnormal left parietal-temporal spike and wave discharges, suggestive of focal onset seizures. Genetic testing (WES) did not show a definite pathogenic mutation, but a variant of uncertain significance in the PIGA gene was found. Developmentally, he smiles, has brief eye contact, watches objects like ceiling fans more, and does not yet have good head control. Kindly advise on cause, prognosis, and further management and anything to worry about the PIGA gene (any issues with development). Thank you.

I have a 45-day-old male infant (3.8 kg) who developed cough and cold (URI). He was prescribed Setflu drops (Phenylephrine + Chlorpheniramine) 0.3 ml TID, Kufril-LS drops (Ambroxol 7.5 mg/ml + Levalbuterol 0.25 mg/ml + Guaifenesin 12.5 mg/ml) 0.3 ml TID, Nazofair-S nasal spray (1 puff), and Coligen drops 0.5 ml. After 3 days he developed shivering episodes. We consulted another hospital and were given Mucolite (Ambroxol) drops, 5 drops for 5 days. After stopping medications, the baby developed seizures. EEG, neuroimaging, and blood investigations are reported normal. Kindly advise whether these medications (especially bronchodilators/antihistamines) can precipitate seizures in neonates, or if other causes should be considered despite normal reports.

Mother 71 yrs, diagnosed subclinical hypothyroidism a year back TSH 10, started 50 mcg Thyronorm. Then TSH 0.13. Prescribed 25 mcg. Then for TSH 5, prescribed 37.5 mcg. T3,T4 normal. (No symptoms, prediabetic, hypertension, early liver disease) **Recently, she missed 4-5 days of Thyronorm (forgot due to cold cough illness) and blood test done after that showed TSH 9.   T3,T4 normal. Based on this test Dr increased Thyronorm from 37.5 to 50 mcg but I forgot to mention missed doses before test to dr.  Dr not available at present. Q: Can the test be inaccurate due to missed doses?  Is the current increased dose ok to take?  What can be done? Thanks 🙏

Hello Doctor, I have had early-morning allergic sneezing and runny nose since childhood. For the past few years, I experience post-nasal drip and thick mucus in my throat as soon as I wake up, and I need to cough to clear it. When I take a deep forced exhale, I feel a mild vibration/flutter near my throat/vocal cords. My mucus worsens after lunch/dinner, especially in the evening and at night, along with burping and indigestion. Sometimes I hear a slight wheeze only during long deep exhalation, but I do not have breathlessness at rest. I take Levocetirizine or Montelukast occasionally. Could this be due to post-nasal drip + silent acid reflux (LPR) irritating the throat/airway, or early mild asthma triggered by allergy/reflux? Before I consult in person, can you please suggest a medicine or treatment that I can try at home for 7–10 days to see if symptoms improve? Thank you.
