What do you do to combat this side effect? I am tired of this weak squeaky voice and chronic sore throat. I limit my use of Advair because of this to once every couple of days instead of 2 times a day, but still the voice problem and mild sore throat come and go for days.

I went to the doctor on Thursday, I had bronchitis and was given antibiotics that I have taken every day since then. I am feeling better but my cough is not getting any better. It is hard to breathe, my cough is non productive and it is giving me pain in my chest.

My great aunt is 96 years old. In January, she fell, broke her other hip, and can no longer walk. She also has COPD and requires oxygen. She has dementia, too. She came home mid-February and was put on hospice services. How long can one qualify for hospice services and how often does hospice review her circumstances? I believe they told me they review every 6 months and that she can re-qualify indefinitely, but I am not sure if this is correct.

Hi. I have a friend who has, on two occassions, coughed up blood. She is not bulemic or anorexic, and as far as she knows, is healthy. She has no other symptoms or pain, but this is the 2nd time that it has happened. She also tells me that it is more than a few teaspoons when she does cough it up. We're in college, and the Medical Services Office is closed today. It opens tomorrow at 8 AM. Should she just wait until tomorrow morning, or should we go to the emergency room? I don't want anythingto happen to her.

Me and my wife were told that our three month old daughter( she was born 1 month premature) might have whooping cough. I say might because one doctor said yes another said he wasn't sure and another said she had it but it was okay, and none of them precribed any treatment. We have already seen three doctors over this and still no results, we don't know where else to turn.
Our daughter's symptoms are: coughing until she vomits, she can't sleep, she won't eat, when she does sleep or eats she coughs until she wakes up or vomits what she just ate, and she has a lot of snot, coughing it up and runny nose. we have given her decongestant cough medicine but nothing helps.
If anyone can give us answers or even some helpful advice, maybe what to do next, we would be very grateful.

i have had a sore throat, headache, and general tiredness since wednesday. i think it might be a sinus infection (i got one at the same time last year too). i've been drinking tea everyday, and that helps a little, but i really don't have time to see a doctor. how long will it take for this to clear up on its own?

i don't think it's mono b/c i've still had the energy to go out and do everything i need to do, i'm just a little more tired than usual. so that's why i think it might be a sinus infection.

Both of my boys have asthma (hereditary.... from my side of the family, and even my husband has it). Recently though, my sister in law said her son has it, and my son is showing the same symptoms (he is thin-but appetite ok, has cough with phlegm and colds- and sometimes the flu, and his lymph nodes can be felt bulging or should I say swelling behind the lower part of the ears). We will take him for a chest xray soon, but he has fever right now. is it ok to have your xray taken if you have fever? thanks for any help!

Go here: http://noteworthynewscasts.blogspot.com/2006/07/what-is-sleep-apnea.html and read my article. Tell me what you think!

Abstract:
What is sleep apnea? It is a disease that affects a small number of the population (only about 4% of men & 2% of women), but the chances of developing this disorder gets progressively worse as one grows older and leaving the symptoms untreated could be fatal. Many who have sleep apnea do not even know they have this affliction. This report will educate the reader about the signs and symptoms of sleep apnea, such as snoring and constant feelings of drowsiness. It will also review what one would expect when being tested for apnea, as well as popular and less-traditional treatment methods. It then discusses the long-term effects of not treating sleep apnea, which could include heart failure. By the time the reader has completed this report, they will have a full understanding of sleep apnea and how it affects one’s life.
