Suggest Treatment For Severe Upper Respiratory Infection
I BELIEVE I HAVE UPPER RESPIRTORY INFECTION BUT ICAN T GET A DOCTOR TO DIAGNOSE ME WITH IT. I VE BEEN COUGHING UP PHLEGM AND OUT OF BREATH AT TIMES. THIS ALLL COMES AND GOES. SOMETIMES I M FINE, OTHERS I FIGHT FOR A BREATH. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DOCTOR MANY TIMES NOW AND HAVE ALREADY BEEN PUT ON INHALERS, STEROIDS, A SHOT IN THE HIP, ANTIBIOTICS,ETC. NOTHING SEEMS TO BE HELPING, ALTHOUGH IT IS GETTING SOMEWHAT BETTER AFTER 9 MONTHS OF THIS SO FAR. WHAT CAN I DO?

Hi,
It sounds like asthma and in asthma such episodes happen where ever the weather changes or there is a allergic reaction to something. Inhalers helps when infections isn't there. If there is superimposing infection only then you need antibiotics.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harshita
