What Is The Cause Of Cough And Pricking Sensation In Head?

HI, My mum is really Ill and we don t know what has happened to her. We took her to the problem but the doctor said everything was fine when it wasn t. My mum said she feel like a needle is poking on the back of her head. she cough alot and sometimes coughs up little blood. She also suffers from headache and her neck hurts when she gulps or swallows anything and literally cannot speak properly. the left side of her eye is red and tears keeps on falling, but is normal on the right side. When it is day she seems roughly OK and the symptoms usually happens on night.

Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
She is having chronic cough with hemoptysis (blood in sputum).
And these symptoms are commonly seen with
1. Bronchitis
2. Lung infection
3. Lung cancer.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Clinical examination of respiratory system
2. PFT (pulmonary function test) for the diagnosis of bronchitis.
3. Chest x ray to rule out lung infection and lung cancer.
She mayor need antibiotics, inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS).
Don't worry, she will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your mother. Thanks.
