Health Q&A
Cough and cold problem

For the past 21 days iam having cough there is no fever and body pains but little bit itchy feeling in throat.I have consulted a physician in a charitable hospital and he prescribed x ray and tb medical tests.The reports are normal and he prescribed me one antibiotic tablet and gocof syrup, but still the cough is not cured.Again he prescribed me pulmonary function test.What's this problem and how can I clear this?Iam a teacher and also a fitness guy. But iam not doing any workouts now iam just doing walking. I don't know how it was spread to me, i remember that I touched so many little students on their cheeks and mouths because of their cute words, and at that time so many students got sick with fever. Is it spreaded from my students, When iam teaching iam getting cough but it's neither worse cough nor normal cough it's like moderate to above average level. How can I clear all these problems.

Breathing problem & Restlessness

My 80-year-old father has recurrent episodes of rapid breathing and restlessness, mainly in the evening after lunch and afternoon sleep. He was hospitalized previously with severe breathlessness, diagnosed with acute LVF, and underwent coronary angiography. No angioplasty or repeat bypass was advised. He had bypass surgery 20 years ago. His oxygen saturation remained 98–99% during hospitalization. He also has chronic acidity, constipation, and a history of gastritis. Dytor 10 mg, previously prescribed SOS, was restarted recently as symptoms returned. Could these episodes be cardiac, pulmonary, or gastrointestinal in origin? Why does he remain relatively normal during the first half of the day? What further tests, treatment, or medication adjustments are recommended?

Fast breathing and restlessness

Dear Dr., Kindly go through the attached files, which contain a summary of my father’s current health issues and relevant medical details.

Recurring Early Morning Breathing Issues

Dear Doctor, I need advice for a chronic breathing issue ongoing for 2-3 years. Every morning, I experience heavy pain, severe difficulty breathing, heavy chest congestion, and a blocked nose. I pass slippery, transparent-to-whitish, sometimes stringy mucus that feels impossible to clear completely. This used to last 1-2 hours, but over the past few days, it has worsened and now lasts 3-4 hours before returning to normal for the rest of the day. I also have long-standing sneezing fits (at least 3 sneezes in a row), triggered by dust/blankets and occasionally occurring randomly. I do not have sinus pain or headaches. I live in a high-pollution, heavy-traffic area and tend to feel cold easily, preferring to keep my torso covered. Could this be allergic asthma, severe allergic rhinitis, or pollution-related airway inflammation? Please advise on diagnostic tests, appropriate prescription treatments, and management strategies.

Inhaler choice for rescue

Respected Doctors, Can we use duolin along with Foracort 400 for rescue ie SOS. Are there any side effects.Regards
