Asking for Father, Male, 50 years old, Karachi
Patient is having excessive mucus coming from lungs. Been almost more than a month. No cough or breathing problem but he has to hardly cough the mucus out every other minute. I am planning to have online consultation but he has no x-ray and it is impossible to have it under these circumstances. He has kidney stones and some problems related to gastro. Any doctor who can help without x-ray? He thinks its some infection due to side-effect of any antibiotic.
Is there any fever, chest pain. If yes pattern of fever, with timing, intensity. Also If chest Pain then what is the character of pain.
can you please tell about colour and consistent of mucus.
Any flu, nasal congestion .headache..
Do sputum c/s examination and then consult some pulmonologist.
thanks for writing. is your father a smoker? and what is his profession? or previously what he has been doing? any chest tightness that he feels or whistling sounds coming from chest? before giving him any medication or opinion I would like to know the answers of these questions.
