Suggest treatment for congestion and breathing trouble
Patient: Hi, I am 18 years old. I ve been experiencing congestion and difficulty breathing. My throat tightens up everytime I eat or drink and then it loosens up after a while. The pain is gone, all that is left is the tightness and slight itchiness. Its pretty scary, what sickness do I have? Doctor: Thanks for your question on HCM.It looks like upper respiratory tract infection (URTI). But we need to rule out lung infection. So get done chest x ray first.And if it is normal than mostly you are having URTI.Try to follow these.1. Avoid hot, oily and spicy food.2. Drink plenty of fluids.3. Warm water gargles 5-6 times a day.4. Start macrolide antibiotic. 5. Start antihistamines and anti inflammatory drugs.
