From a month, my mom is suffering from undiagnosed disease first week medicated for viral doctors suggested for couple of test from cbc to typhoid.

We consulted orthopedic. He prescribed • acenac-mtr twice after food • enzo mac -thrice before food (we did stopped omnacortil for a while) 3rd week no improvement in her condition and joint pains were unbearable. She was constantly feeling nauseated and hardly eat anything so we didn't give one dose. Post that she almost freeze couldn't able to move her knees. So orthopedic prescribed ultracet twice fifth week there was slight improvement but too much weakness and was down with cold and cough. We consulted another doctor and after couple of test (x-ray, cbc) report says • (right paracardiac haziness s/o pneumonitis. Medicine prescribed • montair • prospan • claribid 250 _twice a day • lanol-er _ twice a day • abflo_ twice a day there was an improvement after a week but there was drowsiness weakness swelling of feet and pain. 4th week after consulting physician he changed medicine as her coughing is over lesuride od 75-once in a day lcin 250 -twice a day lanol-ea twice a day supradyn- once a day but she completely lost appetite and so many medicines without food didn't felt right we stopped it for two days and she started eating. We again consulted physician thinking she is fine, but again she started coughing weakness. It looks like never ending illness. We are worried as we still not clear is it pneumonia/respiratory infection or not and how long she will take to recover need suggestions, my mom is really old and seeing her suffering is painful.

You need to do urine pregnancy test. It should be done 10 days after missing your period. For example if your date was 10th, then do the test on 20th. Before that it can give false negative or false positive test.

Your daughter has an infection and probably it is a respiratory infection. You need to give antibiotic to conquer the infection and stop the fever completely. Meftal and Feapnil are only accompaniments to reduce the fever and in reality, the fever causing infection needs to be controlled with an antibiotic

Dear Lybrate user, the patient is suffering from a periodic type of fever and you should go for a cbc test to rule out correct reason for the fever. And also take light diet for easy digestion and for early recovery. And for a permanent treatment, you should start homoeopathic treatment and for best homoeopathic medicine you may contact us.

Asked for male, 27 years old from Allahabad

I am suffering from dry cough from past one week after cold. I have recovered from cold accompanied with severe cough. But now these cough are not continuous but when I feel thirst.

Increase intake of amla, guava, oranges, mosambi. take hot saline gargles atleast 5 - 6 times a day, it will help to clear the throat . steam inhalation also helps to clear respiratory passages. sprinkling eucalyptus oil on the clothes and pillows while sleeping will help. elevating the upper body and head by propping up with 2 - 3 pillows at night will help to relieve post nasal drip which worsens dry cough. hot soup infused with ginger, tulsi, pepper should be taken. avoid cold food. Eat fresh homemade steaming hot food. take lots of fluids - water, soups, dal ka paani.

No medicines for cold and cough will not usually affect your blood reports. If your infection is severe, there is a possibility that your wbc count may be on the higher side.
