Suggest Medication For Severe Bronchitis And Irritation In Throat

Hi Doc! Over a month ago I was having breathing problems and body pains as well. My usual doc said that I have severe bronchitis. I was given antibiotics which sort of cleared it for the period I was taking them. Once I stopped the problem started again and was given a stronger dose. I was feeling better for quite a while, though I still had shortness of breath and a slight cough, on and off. Both the times the doc didn t send me for a chest x-ray or any test ( to clear TB or anything else). Just a blood test and a normal check up. A few days back it started again, only worse. I am noting down the symptoms I am feeling bellow. Please advise me on what I might have, what I should do and anything that may help. Throat symptoms are: -Irritation -Problem is swallowing -Breathing problems sometimes - when I cough or work out, it becomes hard to breathe and sometime I feel like I am choking. -No Flem, but sometimes small chunks of blood. Other things also that I am feeling are: -Fatigue -Body pains - mainly back, neck, sides of my lower back and joints -Really bad head aches -Sometimes I feel like I am going to faint -Blocked nose and irritation is the nose, like a dry and sore feeling, but not always -My lips dry up...most lower lip...and that also only my right corner of the lower lip. The skin peeled off over a week back..and blood came out and like I but Vaseline and cream on it and ice, but it doesn t heal! -The area under my eyes feels heavy and a little bit of swelling and darkening. - Temperature changes - sometimes I feel really hot and then the other second I am freezing. i feel like I do have fever...but when some checks with their hand and all they don t feel anything or say very little. I have also been having like a low appetite level...like I don t feel hungry at all. Even if I don t eat anything I don t feel hungry...but I know I should eat something so I have at least 2 meals a day...one big and another like snack or juice and fruits and stuff like that. I know this is A LOT to go on and a large combination of things, but my doc just won t give it another look for anything else. I have felt like this 3 times within 2 months. Please help me! Thanks - Bhavni

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

The severity of symptoms indicates underlying lung insult in terms of allergy, tuberculosis, pneumonia or others.

In our clinic, I recommend definite work up with sputum culture, x-ray chest and further relevant investigations before commencing the final mode of treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
