Avatar n tn My daughter was tested at 9 months old for cystic fibrosis. She had one positive sweat test (her levels were 66) and one negative test. I was told that because she had a negative test that she did not have cystic fibrosis. However, she had blood drawn yesterday for the genetic testing for cystic fibrosis. We will have the results in 2 weeks.

Avatar n tn He is very fragile, has frequent trips to the hospital for pneumonia (currently at home but trying to recover from this third pneumonia in two years. Had terrible reactions to mouth problems, no appetite for several months, therefore, lost substantial weight. His weight is now down again (137lbs at 5' 9" height) and normal weight from three years ago was 155lbs.) He was first dx with prostate cancer 10 years ago and had surgery to remove it.
Avatar n tn My four year old Mimi has been in hospital for a week with pneumonia, the xrays that have been taken do not show any improvement although her temperature is now back to normal, she has had iv antibiotics and oral antibiotics, and is now home. Because she had pneumonina when she was two in her right lung, this time its in her upper left lung they have tested her for other things and we have to go back in six weeks for a check up and more blood tests and xrays.
Avatar f tn Hello, my daughter, age 3, had a bronchoscopy and CT scan after repeated bouts of pneumonia in the same spot, right middle lobe. This all started after a severe RSV/pneumonia hospitalization as an infant. Her CT scan was read as "mild bronchiectasis" in the right middle lobe, same spot as her atelectasis. We know for sure that her last bout of pneumonia in march never fully cleared, b/c we did X-rays every 3 months. So she's had this atelectasis spot for quite awhile now.
Avatar f tn My 2 year old son was hospitalized for 3 weeks for severe pneumonia. He had pelurial effusion and chest tubes on both sides. Now he is back to his onry 2 year old self and doing great but follow up xrays are still abnormal. Could it be still showing left over pneumonia? ?? I'm concerned. He is sceduled for a CT SCAN next week.
Avatar n tn My now 2 year old has had pneumonia 3 times in the past year. And my 3 month old has had it once now. All the times they have had pneumonia the doctor predscribed antibiotics. Right now both are getting colds and I'm scared it will turn into pneumonia again. How can I prevent it from recurring into pneumonia? Can I do something right now so the cold will not develop into pneumonia? What am I doing wrong?
Avatar m tn 9 year old daughter was diagnosed with pneumonia last night. Now she is complaining that she is having lower back pain. Is this kidney infection?
Avatar m tn m an otherwise healthy 38 year old woman, and I just had my third bout of pneumonia. All three were in the lower lobe of my right lung. One was in autumn 2003, another in spring 2008, and the last in winter 2009. The third was the worst with a big area of consolidation. I was in the hospital for 5 days on IV antibiotics and oral antitbiotics. I had a repeat CT scan after an initial one, 4 weeks apart.
Avatar f tn They can also be transmitted via airborne infection routes. For example, Mycoplasma species are commonly found in atypical pneumonia. Even in patients who do not present with acute pneumonia, they can become systemic and present as chronic illnesses whose diagnosis usually depends on which organs and tissues are infected and the outcome.
518117 tn?1429276273 I never bother with the flu shots, but I did get the one for pneumonia. It's a one-timer. As for swine flu, what you don't hear in the news (because it doesn't sell ads) is that swine flue is less deadly than the usual flu, which isn't particularly deadly anyway. Reliable information on swine flu is available from the Centers for Disease Control. They offer a weekly bulletin. It will confirm what I say here.
Avatar n tn I have asthma and 4 years ago I had pneumonia year after year. Than I started getting the pneumonia vaccine. I had no side effects from it expect no pneumonia.
Avatar n tn For the the first time in a year and a half, I felt like my old self! Unfortunately it is beginning to dissapate...nose started to run excessively over the last few days along with a constant cough and mild breathing difficulties. Finally today I realized it was the beginning of something so I started on the antibiotic...I can never through anything off on my own! Here we go again...sure wish I had some answers. Any thoughts would be appreciated! Hope you solved your coughing....
Avatar f tn My step son has pneumonia and I'm 11 weeks and 5 days. I'm the only one home to take care of him today. He's only 4 years old so I bought masks and lysol, hand sanitizer and took vitamin C. I'm really worried I'm going to catch it. Is there anything else I should be doing to prevent it? Thanks.
Avatar n tn I’m a 61 year old male & have smoking pot nearly every day for about 4 years. I have been wheezing for about 2 months. Last week I coughed up a large wad of very red blood & my tonsils felt swollen. I don’t have a cough. Then nothing until again this morning I coughed up a little blood mixed with spit. I have been under a lot of stress lately & have lost a dear pet. Any ideas of what I might have? Thank you.
Avatar f tn My son is 7 years old and has had pneumonia twice in the last 2 years. The second time they told me it returned in the exact same spot. They told me to have another xray in 6 weeks. Hes otherwise a healthy boy what would cause it to return in the same spot. I know there are probably many causes but what comes to mind?
Avatar f tn I have gotten Pneumonia 3 years in a row. I got the flu and Pneumonia shot this year and still got iPneumonia. What is going on with me. My doctor keeps giving me steroids that are blowing me up and not stopping me from catching this illness. Please help. Thank you.
Avatar n tn Two weekends ago I woke up with the usual backache associated with pneumonia. I get it twice a year, so on Monday I called my doctor and went in. I was not seen by the doctor but was given prescriptions for the pneumonia and an order to get x-rays done. On Thursday I got the call that the x-rays did not show pneumonia and to stop taking the medication. On Friday I was worse so I went to the ER. That's where they told me I dislocated my ribs from coughing due to the pneumonia.....
Avatar f tn I am 38 year old female. 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.
