pneumonia

353348 tn?1209695437 I think almost everyone here experiences some sort of Lung problems while on TX. A dry hacking cough --- without pain... Some folks get lots of mucous... and others dry out - and sometimes those develop into BACTERIAL infections. Highly unlikely TXers get VIRAL infections... But it does happen. Some of those problems become serious medical issues. Please do get it checked.
Avatar f tn It sounds like a cold virus, but you could have Mycoplasma or Chlamydia pneumonia? You can have some tightness with that and low grade or no fever. Usually, you have a dry cough and sometimes can have pain in the rib area and dry cough. It lasts about 1-2 months and usually follows a cold or flu. Sometimes it is resistant to some antibiotics. But it often goes away on its own. They call it "walking pneumonia." Did your CT come back yet?
Avatar f tn I had pneumonia 6 months ago, which was treated with antibiotics. I got well but my cough continued. I cough (mostly dry with some mucus) throughout the day and it cough bouts are horrible at nights. I ignored the cough thinking it will fade away. Few months ago, I started experiencing breathlessness and tightness in chest alongwith coughing. My doctor said it was allergy and prescribed some medicines for lowering eosinophil count. It did not work.
Avatar n tn I have gotten no more than about 4-5 hours of sleep a night since I started being sick. I was able to nap when I actually felt worse, but now I have a dry cough that keeps me from sleeping. What should I do? What is causing this? I have tried taking Benedryl to help me sleep, it has not helped.
Avatar n tn My 11-year-old daughter was diagnosed with mycoplasma pneumonia after having a cough for about 2 months. She is now infection-free but the cough persists. Both her pediatrician and allergist say the cough is simply a habit. However, she complains of feeling as if there's something in her throat that she's unable to cough up.
Avatar m tn thats the thing lizzie i was still drunk from the night before i cant remember if it did. thts whats causing me the anxiety. however i have noticed that some say a dry cough only occurs after the hiv is into the stage after primary infection. is this true? also see a large node or whatever it is on your neck is that big that you could notice it from a few feet or can it be rather small.
Avatar f tn The last CT Scan showed some spots looking better and others looking worse. I still have a cough with no other symptoms except for occasional greenish phlem in small amounts. The pneumonia seemed to have cleared up months ago. My pulmanologist has prescribed various inhalers and nothing has helped. I have no shortness of breath, just a cough, sometimes dry, sometimes rattling. What could these spots be and what could be causing the cough?
Avatar n tn After taking ZPack for 5 days and several days later I did not see any effect. I had a dry cough along with a wheezy/whistling exhale. Sometimes my cough is so severe that I vomit and feel like stomach acid is coming up. My cough is more consistent throughout the night and the morning when I wake up. There is very little phlegm that comes up with my cough every now and then. I have taken tussin to help with the cough but it only suppresses it very minimally.
Avatar n tn My Mom is 80 and she developed this dry hacking cough about 2 years ago, the Docs of course can't find out why. This cough has now escelated and she coughs whenever she eats or drinks and it sounds like she is choking. Does anyone have a clue what this could be?
Avatar m tn Google mostly yields the most authoritive website like CDC which lists symptoms without really describing what they are like. I can confirm that your symptoms are irrelevant. Overusing antibiotics can indeed cause dry mouth please work with your doctor and do not prescribe any drugs for yourself! In conclusion you are HIV negative. Talk to your doctor for about symptoms.
Avatar n tn t pump out into circulation the supply of blood received from the lungs causing blood to back up into lungs and fluids leak into pulmonary tissues. The condition will cause a violent dry cough, choking, feeling of not getting enough oxygen...some relief when not lying down, but sitting up. I had mild pulmonary edema, severe edema must be the same as drowning! Pneumonia is the inflammation of the lung tissues and coughing phlegm would be an expectation, but edema is a dry cough.
Avatar f tn Every inbreath I feel a cold tickling in the mid chest area and feel I need to suppress a dry cough. I have no postnasal drip, just a slight pressure on my sinuses and headaches and still feel fatigue and tired all the time. I've been to Costa Rica in August and came back with a nose cold for 1 week, after that was healthy for a couple of days before all these symptoms started. Can it have anything to do with that trip? What should I do?
Avatar f tn Do you have a low grade fever and dry cough? Are you very tired? It could be something else. They to run some tests on you to rule out other bacterial infections and perhaps viral or even fungal. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Avatar n tn Sometimes its congestive ( mucus) sometimes its dry. It started after a case of pneumonia. I have taken several tests and all is negative. Endoscopy, bronchoscopy, allergy tests, lots of blood work, asthma and have been on several doses of predasone (steroids) and nebulizer. Its difficult to talk and eat. I have cut lots of things from my diet. I tried to get an appointment with a neurologist but the response I get is that they don't treat chronic cough.
Avatar f tn I was told I have pneumonia, but I dont feel that sick..Mild cough, sore dry nose with some bleeding, post nasal drip, and scratchy throat and chest. Before I was diagnosed I was tested for a lump in throat feeling whenever I drank something. I got a barrium swallow and it was normal so i assumed it was an anxiety issue, Then after I got the pneumonia i saw something on the internet about aspiration pneumonia and it scared me because I still feel lump in throat and nausea at times.
Avatar n tn After eating certain foods I cough....it starts out as a dry cough and then starts to rattle, but never cough anything up. Sometimes lasts for a few minutes and at other times it lasts 15 or 20 minutes. I am 47 years old not overweight and do not smoke. At my last doctor visit, mild asthma was the diagnosis. Any suggestions?
670314 tn?1247875773 As I already experience SOB with minimal exertion, fatigue, frequent nausea and other common symptoms with this condition, (and a dry cough from my meds), I am worried that I might miss something and this new virus take hold before I recognise it for what it is. I am guessing to get help if I develop a fever - but anything else that anyone knows of?
Avatar n tn most of the time cough is dry and some times with thick green phlegm. cough also coses pain in head and belly.
Avatar f tn I have had an irritating dry cough for around 3 mos that occurs throughout the day. It's a light brief cough. The doctor said my lungs sound clear and prescribed Prilosec OTC because I answered yes to having GERDS. I am taking one daily but the cough is still there. Also I was recently diagnosed with neuropathy in my feet. I do not want to take the med prescribed to treat my symptoms so I ordered a supplement on line called NEUROPATHY SUPPORT which is a combo of B vitamins.
Avatar m tn CHEST PAIN, bending over coughing is a symptoms of a few LIFE THREATENING CONDITIONS. CORONARY, PNEUMONIA, PULMONARY, how long, where is pain, what does it feel like? Your chest feeling heavy, short of breath? Non productive cough? (dry hacking cough) Temp? Feeling bad? How are sinuses? Facial pressure pain also? Please describe your condition, I would have to be Nostradamus to know what is ailing you with the minimal description you provided.
Avatar n tn We have a 8 week old pug puppy who has had her first shots. She has developed a cough that sounds barky and gaspy, her little nose is pretty dry. She did spend the day with the grand children and probably played a lot. Is the cause for alarm?
