Suggest medication for cough,congestion and breathing problem
Patient: My husband, has continous coughing , bringing up pllegn , to the point that he almost chokes and becomes very breathless , this happens constatnly sometimes 6 =8 times a day. His doctor says is reflux and has put him on vEXION . He has had this for many months now , and he feels awlful . the Vexion is not doing anything to help do you have any suggestions. Doctor: Thanks for your question on HCM.I can understand your husband's situation and problem.In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist first for your husband and get done1. Chest x ray2. PFT (pulmonary function test)Chest x ray is needed to rule out lung infection.PFT is needed to rule out bronchitis.Both lung infection and bronchitis can cause cough, congestion and breathlessness.So better to consult pulmonologist for your husband, first diagnose him and then start appropriate treatment.Don't worry, he will be alright.
