Suggest Treatment For Jaw Pain, Nausea And Shortness Of Breath
Question: My daughter's throat is closing up. She has fever, chills, runny nose, neck and jaw pain, nausea, shortness of breath. She was diagnosed with vaso vagal syncope, partial anemia, vitamin D deficiency. She is allergic to shellfish, Zithromax but didn't take anything she is allergic to. She didn't go running or go out in the sun in the last couple of days. Flu won't cause it, will it?
Brief Answer:
Possibility of allergic rhinitis and asthma is more.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of allergic rhinitis and asthma is more.
Flu is unlikely to cause such symptoms.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
PFT will not only diagnose asthma, it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only.
She may need inhaled bronchodilators, inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) and intranasal spray containing steroid (fluticasone).
Oral combination of antihistamine (levocetrizine or fexofenadine) and anti allergic (montelukast) is also helpful in such symptoms.
Don't worry, she will be alright.
Consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
Flu is unlikely in her case.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your daughter. Thanks.
