Cough Questions

Health Query

My boyfriend (age 27) has had this all day every day hacking/throat clearing cough with mucus since january. I've been begging him since to get it checked. He waited 4 months until april & finally went. Well, the chest x-ray came back clear. But then why is he still coughing? I'm exhausted of this, not knowing what it is, but hearing it all day every day, anxious beyond belief while he claims he's "fine" when it's not normal.

I am currently on isotretinoin. Dr. prescribe me with erythromycin for cough. Can I take it?

General Physician•Durg

There is no any documented interaction between the two. However erythromycin inhibits cytochrome enzyme which metabolises isotretinoin. So it may cause side effects if the doses are high. You can also use alternative to erythromycin to be on safe side.

Blood in sputum is definitely something to be serious about especially if it is occur many times.
Get chest x-ray and sputum for tb examined if it is for more than 2 weeks. Do contact me for further diagnosis and treatment if you feel necessary.

The medicine is found to have slight risk in pregnancy but in your case the benefits outweigh the risk as your cough if not improved can be more harmful to the baby. Continue with the advice and also take saline gargles or steam inhalation.

Asked for female, 40 years old from Siliguri

My 8 year old daughter needs levolin and budesonide inhalers almost throughout the year. If I stop any one of those, her coughing starts and she starts coughing/vomiting up watery mucous. What should I do. This problem is continuing since she was 3/4 years old. Isn't there any long lasting remedy? Is taking those inhalers throughout the year, safe? Will this lead to other health problems?

Dr. Venkatesh Prabhu Rajaram

M.D. PHYSICIAN

General Physician•Coimbatore

It is completely safe to use inhalers throughout the year, if the inhalers are providing relief from asthmatic spells and prevents asthma attacks. It is better to wash the mouth after budesonide use. But, same dose should not be given without consulting a pulmonologist.
