Suggest Treatment For Diarrhea And Shortness Of Breath

I am 45 year old Caucasian male in relatively good health, until now. Started getting sick 4 days ago, fever, fatigue, headache that wouldn t subside, minor diarrhea . Been on bed rest and hot liquids most of the time. Fever broke yesterday and now I have semi violent coughing fits, shortness of breath and dizziness. I feel ok when I am sitting, but when I lay down I can feel the mucus shift in my lungs when I rol over which induces coughing, and if I walk short distances i get winded and dizzy.

hello!!
Dear,Thanks for referring to HCM !!

I have been through your query and I completely understand your concern .

*From your symptoms it appears to me that you are probably suffering from a viral flu with congestion in lungs which is causing shortness of breth.

* for my patient with such complaints i would have started anti pyretics like paracetamol and anti histaminic like cetrizene.

* i would recommend you to drink lots of water (4.5litres minimum) per day, and to take rest for tleast two days.

* Take steam inhalation atleast thrice a day.

* if there are other symptoms like severe fever, chills, rigors, stomach ache, sweating , then i would suggest you to get blood investiigations like CBP, ESR, WIDAL and Malarial parasite smear done.


You shall be fine sir.

Hope i have helped you.
contact me for further queries.
