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.
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 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!
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.
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 ???
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 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 n tn Each of these viruses can last up to anywhere from 2-4 weeks..... A Month is Common.....Both of these can also turn into Pneumonia....COUGH SUPPRESSANTS are always the first line of defense.....Did your Vet offer any medication for the cough? Steroids are sometimes prescribed for the bronchial inflammation, also.... By suppressing both the cough & the Bronchial/lung inflammation, they seem to get over it quicker...... Antibiotics are normally used, too.
5915818 tn?1377748240 Ive been sick with a headache, cough, sore throat, vomitting, the "runs" and runny nose for over three weeks and im seven months pregnant.

Avatar n tn ve had a really bad cough due to the flu and the doctors said that I can not take a cough suppressant, because the flu could turn into pneumonia and also because I am a type one diabetic. Are there other ways besides cough suppressants to relieve a really bad cough.
Avatar f tn Good morning I'm being treated for pneumonia just started antibiotics last nite feeling a lol worse off but my question is walking pneumonia contagious......it's funny but ct images showed fluid on right lung and I have side pain ouchee! But now more symptoms are appearing.
Avatar f tn i have been showing signs of pneumonia lately and also felt a small bum under my armpit but cannot see anything. what i want to know is can the axillary lymph node be linked to pneumonia because usually i hear it swells in the neck? i also was using doxycycline 100 mg and septra for chlamydia. its kinda strange how pneumonia just popped up a while after my chlamydia and cleared up. i am really freaking out im going for a test today.
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?
