Answered by Dr. Shweta Bansal

Treatment for pneumonia in children typically involves antibiotics if it's caused by bacteria, and supportive care for viral pneumonia. Rest, fluids, and fever-reducing medications are also essential. However, severe cases might need hospitalization for oxygen therapy and intravenous fluids. It's important to consult a pediatrician for the right diagnosis and treatment plan.

Male | 26

Allergies bring sneezing, runny noses, itchiness, and watery eyes. Triggers like pollen, dust, pet dander, and some foods cause them. Avoid triggers to feel better. Keep your home clean too. Take antihistamines from the store. But if symptoms persist, see a pulmonologist for more help.

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.

My grandmother is diagnosed with Pulmonary edema. We need to immediately taker her to Gurgaon which 5 hrs journey from our hometown. Can u please suggest some preliminary care/ tips for her immediate relief. Also like to know if this disease is curable?

Female | 80

This occurs when fluid collects in the air sacs of the lungs. Signs may include shortness of breath, problems breathing, coughs, or wheezing sounds. To make her more comfortable on the trip to Gurgaon, try to sit her up and give oxygen if it is available then keep her as calm as possible. In most cases, drugs are given as treatment for pulmonary edema which works by getting rid of extra fluids from the lungs besides dealing with its root cause like heart failure. Proper health care can help control signs but the urgent need for a pulmonologist's attention is necessary.

Shortness of breath whenever coughing Dry cough Fever immediately after cough Cough not constant Cough comes and go

Male | 35

If you start to cough, become breathless soon after, and get a fever with a dry cough, that might be the reason for lung infections like pneumonia. The cough might happen periodically. These germs such as bacteria and viruses are to blame for it. Taking rest, drinking enough fluids, and talking to a doctor for help are the treatment steps which can include antibiotics if it is bacterial. Be sure to get a lot of rest and drink plenty of fluids.

Hi dr I’m asthma from childhood I use seretide 500/50 vantoline lumenta 10 mg Last week I will visit chest dr he give me azit 500 mg 3 day per week I have chest ct scan and X-ray normal I have cough my left side and sometimes sound

Male | 50

You use Seretide and Ventoline to help your symptoms. The cough on your left side might be from asthma. It's good that the CT scan and X-ray of your chest were normal. Your chest doctor likely gave you the antibiotic Azit to fight lung infections. Take all the pills until they're gone, like the doctor said. If the cough gets worse or doesn't go away, see your pulmonologist again. They can check it out and give you a different treatment if needed.

Please am having shortness of breath sometimes and I have problem sometimes to swallow my own saliva my saliva try up sometimes.

Male | 24

Your packed cell volume (PCV) of 43% is within the normal range for most adults. Shortness of breath and difficulty swallowing saliva can be caused by various conditions unrelated to your PCV level. It’s important to consult a pulmonologist for your breathing issues and a gastroenterologist for your swallowing difficulties to get a proper diagnosis and treatment.

Want to know how it transfer tuberculosis from a patient who has been having treatment for more than 6 month to another working in the same team.

Male | 43

Tuberculosis spreads through the air from coughs or sneezes. If your teammate's treatment exceeds six months, transmission risk decreases. Watch for persistent coughing, fever, and weight loss. See a pulmonologist if symptoms arise. Cover coughs, wash hands frequently - good hygiene prevents TB spread.

I am a 50 year old I feel short of breath and sweat for a while. Treatment is still going on since last 3 years

Male | 50

From the symptoms you are describing, it seems like you are having shortness of breath and sweating a lot. These might be indications that something is wrong with your heart. Often, the heart is the one that is not functioning properly and as a result, it can produce these symptoms. A pulmonologist will probably recommend a series of tests to pinpoint the issue. The guidance of the doctor would be eminent to your health.

Been having a cough for 2 weeks finished my antibiotics I do vape

Female | 21

A respiratory specialist or pulmonologist might be the one to consult given a persistent cough for the past 14 days after you have completed the course of antibiotics. Vaping can aggravate the airways and increase respiratory problems; hence the doctors must do a thorough evaluation to put the conditions right.

From past 10 days I was having severe cough and cold, I somehow got better with the treatment that doctor gave me. But from past two days I have been experiencing shortness of breath followed by rigorous vomiting and cough somewhere between nose and throat and not exactly in nose and throat which is causing it difficult to pass out. This cough is causing me breathlessness and making me spit again and again with vomiting What is this cough between nose and throat? Is it sinus?

Female | 21

Your symptoms suggest postnasal drip. It's caused by nasal mucus draining down your throat, triggering coughs, throat-clearing, even vomiting. You feel like breathing is hard and need to spit frequently. Staying hydrated and using a humidifier could provide relief.
