How To Treat Chest Problem Called Pneumothorax At Left Side?
I am Ratan, Male, 27 yrs old and weight 55kg. I have a chest problem which is called Pneumothorax at left side . My sputum report is negative. Still I take a 6 moth course of CAT 3 medicine by doctor advise. After 5 month it was cured up. But after 6 month it reoccur. Then I start to take Rcinex 600, Supradyne and Stimulive. But my problem is still same. What should I do?
For pneumothorax, ideal treatment is ICD. If the pneumothorax is minimal, high flow of oxygen for 1 week will be sufficient. I don't think you need cat3 drugs for pneumothorax unless you have an underlying cause of TB.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
