pneumonia

Avatar n tn I was prescribed azithromycin and told to continue with my xopenex and prednisone. I also took cough syrup, sudafed and motrin. Saturday I was significantly worse and over the weekend it esciladed. My temperature would go from 96.2 to 100.5 and back down over a 30min period. Monday I went back to the doctor and she heard "crackling" and a lack of air movement in my lower left lung. She diagnosed me with community acquired pneumonia.
Avatar f tn I wasn't sure where to ask this question because there wasn't a category for walking pneumonia or upper respiratory infection , so here it goes anyway. Ok, so Last week on februrary the 2nd I got a sore throat, the next day I had a runny nose and felt like **** for a few days after that and then I developed a cough, I went to the doctor and he said I had upper respiratory infection (bronchitis)..
Avatar f tn I do have shortness of breath and hurts to breathe and cough. I get tired more easily than before. Can you please tell me how I can have pneumonia without the usual symptoms? I'm afraid that the CT scans were wrong and maybe it could be something worse. Sorry I guess I'm just scared.
Avatar n tn A few days ago I developed a slight cough which I thought was nothing to worry about, coming forward a few days the cough has turned into a deep chesty cough with a metallic taste, i'm also coughing up a lot of green sputum and wheezing a lot more than usual (I have a asthma inhaler) I also find that when I wake up I am sweating but only on the left hand side of my body below the ribcage. What could this possibly be?
Avatar f tn Mine started with a dry, non-productive cough. Eight years later, I developed pneumonia twice and still have a chronic cough, but now cough up phelgm all of the time. The bronchiectasis was found with a CT scan. Go back to the doctor for more tests.
Avatar n tn So recently I've had a cough, I also have ashtma and have to take a brown inhaler. I'm really paranoid about pneumonia and chest infections. I can't tell what is an ashtma cough, just a general cough from a cold or something worse.
1321692 tn?1304298071 I know that whopping cough is more common in children, but to me it sounds more like whopping cough than the pneumonia and bronchitis that I have been diagnosed with. Does it sound like pneumonia, bronchitis, whopping cough, or something else? Thank you for your help.
Avatar f tn You can suck on cough drops without menthol, and if your throat is sore, gargle salt water. It won't take away your cough, but it will soothe. Drink tea and honey, just not chamomile.
Avatar m tn I will go soon to the doctor but I am afraid that he/she will misdiagnosed with bronchitis or something like that,because I live in a very small town in Europe where doctors have no very much experience,especially with things like HIV. Can someone have PCP pneumonia for 3 months without temperature? I think that I would conquer my fear if I did not have those symptoms. And those symptoms cannot be pshyological.
Avatar n tn I am a 29 year old female, never smoked, healthy weight and beside breathing and anxiety issues healthy.
Avatar m tn You have good reasons to be concerned about your sister and her multiple health problems. Pain associated with her pneumonia should have eased as her pneumonia resolved. Pain at this time is not normal. The recurrence of cough and pain along with the abnormal X-ray findings of “scarring” and “a hole” in her lung suggest otherwise; that is to say that hers is what we would call complicated pneumonia. You ask, if she needs to be admitted to a hospital.
Avatar f tn hi in the letter it says ,right basal pneumonia,does that make any sense to you?
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?
Avatar f tn Long story short: I am on day 8 of a zpak for pneumonia (I still have the cough), and today I woke up with a sore throat, a runny nose, and now I keep sneezing like I have a cold. Is it possible to have a cold and lingering pneumonia at the same time? Actual Long Story with all the details: About two months ago, I had a cold that hung around and turned into pneumonia two weeks ago.
Avatar n tn Would carinii pneumonia present itself with just a minor cough and congestion and no fever, no rash or other symptoms. In other words is this type of pneumonia something that is more severe? I have not had an exposure to someone with HIV, but I have allowed myself to receive oral sex on occasion from guys that I did not know their HIV status.
Avatar n tn Is she coughing anything up (a productive or moist cough)? Is she wheezing with the cough? Flu season is upon us. Any viral illness can lead to bronchitis or pneumonia. Depending on your geographical location my other concern would be tuberculosis. When a person develops active TB disease, the symptoms (such as cough, fever, night sweats, or weight loss) may be mild for many months. This can lead to delays in seeking care, and results in transmission of the bacteria to others.
Avatar n tn This is a mild anti-inflammatory which will settle down the lung. Take periodic doses of Guinefesen (without the cough suppressant). Monitor your progress by coughing up sputem on a tissue. When the sputem in clear fo four days you have probably ended the infection. Be aware of the side effects of the antibiotics. Get the handout from your pharmacist provided by the manufacturer. NOT the abreviated version given by the drug stores. You have to evict Harvey.
1100598 tn?1413127426 In October, I developed an upper respiratory infection that caused swollen lymph nodes in my neck and an ear infection/sore throat, and later on a cough. The cough has hung on since then. I have had two chest x-rays, which have come back negative. My doctor put me on a course of prednisone, which did nothing. The cough brings up a foaming white phlegm, and sometimes causes heart palpitations.
4250330 tn?1388621179 i think i have pneumonia i am always tired even though i get enough sleep im having chest pain cough and pretty much all the signs of this should i go to the doctor ?
Avatar n tn t breathe or talk for longer than 5 seconds without hacking up a lung, so without cough suppressants it just becomes unbearable.
4268628 tn?1375041176 So I've had a cough for the past 15 days really bad and just found out last week we are pregnant again. Anyone else have experience with taking antibiotics while 1st trimester? Did it make the nausea worse?
Avatar f tn ve had it a few times.. it was a very deep chest cough - meaning that it felt like i had to cough and cough to get anything to come up.. - unfortunately, with that much coughing , and being pg, - with pressure from the baby, it can feel like a rib is broken.. be careful tho, my bronchitis turned into pneumonia. if your back/ ribs hurt that much, go to your doc - coughin with pain in those areas are a common symptom of pneumonia.. hope you feel better soon!
