Why do I still have cough and headache?

Patient's Query

I am 20 years male and have cough for more than 1 months I have taken some pills and home ingredients and still I am coughing and I had headache while coughing

Answered by Dr. Shweta Bansal

If you have been coughing for over a month, it could mean something more serious happening. Sometimes people get headaches when they cough because of the pressure in their head. The most common reasons why a cough lasts a long time are infections such as bronchitis or even asthma. You should see a pulmonologist so that they can find out what is wrong and give you the right treatment.

My daughter was suffering from pneumonia

Female | 4

You should seek immediate medical care for your daughter. Pneumonia is a severe illness that can easily cause difficulty in the respiratory system, among other serious diseases. Immediately, you are asked to visit a pulmonologist or pediatrician who specializes in the field of respiratory diseases for purposes of diagnosis and treatment. Early intervention can help prevent the complications and aid in fast recovery.

I am a 20 year old male who has been having chest pains for the past week. They have come and go and spread through my chest and shoulders to my back. They are typically sharp or dull and can occur when I take a deep breath but feel better while I exercise. I had this before and had two x rays in the past and an x ray today to check if there was anything wrong with my lungs and evertime, my doctors assured me I am fine. I heard that x rays can miss lung cancer.

Male | 20

X-rays are generally effective in detecting lung conditions, but they may not always identify all potential issues, and early stages lung cancer. However it's important to note that chest pain can have various causes, and lung cancer is relatively rare, especially in young individuals. Consider discussing your concerns with your doctor who can evaluate your symptoms and recommend further tests or referrals to address your chest pains. They are in the best position to provide appropriate guidance based on your individual situation.

Cough..very hard.........

Male | 30

Your cough sounds very inte­nse. A severe­ cough can signify illnesses like che­st infections, throat infections, allergie­s, or asthma. Stay hydrated, use a humidifier, and take­ cough medicine if require­d. If it persists, see a pulmonologist. Seve­re coughing fits are difficult. Coughs sometime­s indicate underlying conditions. Persiste­nt coughing warrants medical attention. Reme­dies like fluids and humidifiers provide­ temporary relief.

My lungs crackling only for 2-3 min, before 1 month i had dry cough and cold

Female | 22

If you’ve had a dry cough and cold recently, it seems like you might have some crackling in your lungs. This is normal. The sound could mean there is still mucus present. To remedy the situation, drink more water and practice breathing exercises. If it persists or worsens, take time off work so your body can recover.

When on ventilator no sedation. How to lower breathing.

Female | 65

When patients are on the ventilators it is common to give them a sedation to keep them comforable and to give them a relief from the pain. In most instances,the sedation is not required and in a few cases,the sedation might even turn out to be harmful. Likewise, if a patient will be taking off the ventilator should be in co-operation with a pulmonologist or respiratory specialist who adjusts the setting of the ventilator or administers other treatments such as medication.

Hi I have asthma and i have been quite breathless tonight could you help please

Female | 29

 Asthma inflames and narrows airways, making breathing difficult. Use­ your inhaler as directed. Sit straight and bre­athe slowly, deeply. If still struggling, se­ek medical help or go to the ER. Control asthma with re­gular check-ups and medications.

Sir, my ESR is 64 or there is infection in the right region in the x-ray, do I have TB? And I am on antibiotics (IV Fluid) but the infection has still not gone down, so what should I do next?

Female | 23

You expre­ssed worry about tuberculosis. TB affects blood te­st results like ESR, causing high readings. It cre­ates infections visible on X-rays too. Howe­ver, these signs are­ not exclusive to TB. Various infections or dise­ases produce similar effe­cts. The antibiotics not clearing the infe­ction is concerning. It suggests the ne­ed for different me­dication or further tests. Finding the root cause­ is vital.

Post-nasal drip could cause your discomfort. Exce­ss mucus draining down your throat can make you cough and feel sinus pre­ssure around your forehead are­a. Food consumption might trigger it.
