default
Posted on Sat, 30 Jan 2016
Question: My spouse had a bad case of bronchitis 4 weeks ago. Is still coughing although not badly. Along with the bronchitis his eye was red and the eyelid was drooping. He has headaches in the eye area and sensitivity on his scalp on that same side? He comtontinues to feel lethargic and not well. The issue is now his ongoing eye droop and headaches. Scalp issue and lethargy. Any thoughts?

Brief Answer:
Get done sugar and vitamin b 12 level.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Bronchitis itself can not cause these symptoms.. But if patient is having diabetes or vitamin b 12 deficiency then bronchitis can actually worsen them. And these (diabetes or vitamin b 12 deficiency) can cause similar symptoms.
Another possibility is viral infection. So first get done sugar levels and vitamin b 12 level to rule out these causes.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your spouse. Thanks.
