353348 tn?1209695437 They have banned most cough syrups for kids and are telling you to give the kids (not babies though) a spoon of honey. It worked well for my 4 yr. old so I tried it for Joe and it actually works. It seems way too easy but give it a try. It has so far completely eliminated this as a problem. He has lots of other unpleasant sx though.
Avatar n tn They wanted to keep me but I have 4 kids at home to care for so they sent me home with a steroid, inhaler and cough meds and told me to finish the z-pak. I finished the z-pak about a week ago and still don't feel better.
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 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.
Avatar f tn I have a horrible cough. So 5 days ago I went to the Urgent Care and Dr said probably pneumonia. She gave me antibiotics, prednisone, and albuterol. It has been 5 days. The fevers are just higher. They dont even get better with ibuprofen. I can't function. I have small kids. I feel to sick to drive to the doctor. I need help. My cough is a lot better, my chest doesnt hurt as bad but these fevers are killing me. Any ideas? I've never felt so terrible.
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 but ya that makes sense that I would just catch the cold, he had a fever, stuffy nose exc.. but the reason he got the pneumonia was from him having a cough and breathing in the mucus bc kids tend to do that and not spit it out. Tomorrow around lunch time will be 24 hours on antibiotics and I feel fine now so everything should be okay! Thanks again!
Avatar f tn That's been going around, my husband has a sinus infection and mild walking pneumonia. he's on antibiotics now, and cough syrup with codeine. And my friend has it as well. And my uncle just got over it. I'm sure you and the baby will be fine. Best of luck. Get well soon.
Avatar f tn hi in the letter it says ,right basal pneumonia,does that make any sense to you?
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 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 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 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 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.
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.
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!
Avatar n tn I just wanted to update this...spoke to my docs office this morning, they forgot to call but she had put a note in my chart about it. She said following pneumonia this is normal and can occur for several weeks after. As long as I am not having any worsening symptoms and am showing improvement, even if it is slow, that this is normal. If I have a fever or any change or worsening in symptoms I should go in to see her immediately. So I am relieved.
Avatar f tn for the last 2 weeks I have had a bad cough and chest and back pain, it is not getting better and there seems to be no cough syrop or medicationt that will work. I keep getting dizzy as well not just while coughing. I really don't want to sit at a clinic to find out I have a bad cold, but I am getting concerned that it may be more then a cold. I have also been getting a fever off and on.
1618318 tn?1318196283 I have swallowing disorders that put me at risk for aspiration pneumonia. Are there any tests that can be done to differentiate the type of pneumonia? I have had several xrays done on my chest and was put on antibiotics.
Avatar f tn Clinically, the course of this illness could also be specifically consistent with Pertussis (whooping cough) and common disease in young kids and now a not uncommon occurrence in young adults. At this stage of your illness you should wait no longer before seeking re-examination and a chest X-ray.
1468158 tn?1363026295 (Not snot no runny nose) a dry throat tickling cough... virus. ? So i got a bottle of cough syrup that helped me sleep and almost fixed my cough, it helped but didn't work. So now 6 weeks later i still have a cough and i have barely no voice, the dr. Knows this. What gives? She said my lungs were clear but i got pneumonia as a child and i got it again a year or 2 ago. (By how much i was coughing i could only pin point two things and a virus was not one. I figured bronchitis or pneumonia).
Avatar m tn Any one else had cough after pneumonia & irritated airways that has lasted months ???
