I've been getting a large buildup of mucus in my throat every year and I'm sick of it. Will removing the tonsils help?

My mom continues to smoke and also has to take oxygen. Is there any danger of an explosion? How close would she have to be to the tank in order for there to be danger?

he tells me he gets up all hours of the night and coughs 1-2 hrs at a time. he is 48 yrs. old and also a heavy smoker, i told him he needs to see a doctor asap, i have seen people with this same kind of cough before and some of them end up having lung cancer.

My 4 year old son is only here every other weekend and since the beggining of the year he seems to be sick runny nose or cough every time. This past weekend he was fine all day long ,out running ,playing ,jumping on the trampoline. But in the evening usually arround dinner time when they start to relax and unwind for bed he starts cough violently. I tried cough expectorant's and 3 hours later he stil can't sleep because the coughing wont stop. I even tried benadryl thinking he may have an allergy, thta just seemed to help him sleep a bit better but he still coughed. He has been to the doctor 3 times this year for colds that didn't go away and they haven't seemed to be able to help him. Should I be looking at this from another view...maybe an allergy or even asthma? He has only ever had one bad cold that turned into bronchitis when he was 2. It seems to have happened all at once Since the end of the winter. I'm divorced and getting my ex to accept someting is wrong is difficult!

Am in school and my next door neighbours in hostel are this group of guys who are always at it- smoking ganja. I have been feeling kind of sick lately...some nagging headaches and nausea, and the hospital says there's nothing up. I am just wondering if the presence of the smoke which by the way is normally so strong in my own room could be the one affecting me. I will also appreciate knowing if I have cause to worry so that I can change my residence. I have lived this way for two months.

I've been sick with bronchitis for over a month now. I've gone to the doctor twice, and they've put me on two different antibiotics and an inhaler because it's gotten so severe. I have a horrible pain in my chest and it's kind of hard to breathe. Does anyone know ANYTHING I can do? I am a smoker, and know that it's detrimental to my health, however if you are a smoker, you know it's not that easy to stop, even when your health is at stake. Does anybody know if maybe the doctors overlooked something? Or should I go back, and waste another $20 copay, just to be told the same thing? Help!

That was on Wed...ever since I have been having fever, just around the 100's..not really high. Alot of body aches..taking Z-pack..along with cough medicine with codeine, and also he gave Albuterol...which is not for me..makes me shake really bad, and I feel like I am going out of mind. Is there some at home breathing treatment I can do, instead of using the inhaler? I never had anything like this before..it is horrible...any feedback is appreciated.

Could this be a symptom of anything serious? Since surgery, I haven't been able to recline fully to the supine position (I even had to resort to sleeping at a 45-degree-angle! Needless to say, I got almost no sleep over the past five days. Could that be causing the neck discomfort? Has this happened to anyone else after sinus surgery? I got the packing removed today (my doctor still uses gauze), and that was NOT FUN!! I felt like Arnold Schwartzeneggar's character from Total Recall when he pulled out that acorn-sized thing in the center of his skull. I've been taking pain medication constantly since the surgery (every four hours, two 5mg Percocet tablets), does that stuff ever cause spasms, perhaps? I'm trying to think of anything that could be causing this, but drawing a blank (nothing definitive or "special" about my surgery, really). Now I just want to make sure that this is not some "big deal" that I'm accidentally overlooking. Any information would be very appreciated. Thanks.

And when i took him to the doctors, they said now he has really bad allergeys! but at the doc. office they still gave him his 4yr. old immunizations. It was three shots, Polio, Hepatitis B, Tetnas.

Hi guys, my grandfather who is 89 at the time got pneumonia 10 days ago and got sent to the hospital and put on antibiotics. he also had a low oxygen level. Today he is still the same, or worse and they have changed his antibiotics 3 times. Now the doctor says his lungs are very weak and needs a breathing tube. He wants to put him in hospice now. Im really confused because before all this he was in good health and from 10 days forward he's doing really bad. If anyone has been through this or can relate please write back. Ive never had anyone close to me die and i cant imagine my life without my grandpa. Should i send him to another hospital to get a second opinion? Thanks for reading this, god bless.

since tuesday i have been breathing through my mouth. I feel as though i cannot breath properly if i try to breath through my nose. i have also been sneezing and have a runny nose , i went to the doctors and he told me i had allergies. He gave me an antibiotic and a nasal spray and told me to use claritin. I feel as though i am thinking too much about my breathing and thats why i feel like this. I feel like i have to put effort in to breath. I talked to my doc about it and he said that it is part of the allergies and once my nose clears up i will be able to breath better. i suffer from anxiety and i am freaking out , i feel as if something is stuck somewhere and thats why i am breathing through my mouth and not my nose. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Please help , im freaking out

Do you know any side effect of moxibustion? I have gotten it three times 'cause I have gotten no energy and felt extremely tired. My doctor told me that my bad blood circulation has caused my physical downturn. He insisted that I should go on for 2 weeks. But when can I tell that I have had enough. Is there any side effect if I have gone too far?

About 1 month ago, I got this cough along with a cold. I was put on a z-pack and a week later amoxocillin. Nothing has worked. The doctors say my chest sounds clear and my oximeter rate is 97-98. I would like a chest x-ray, but I am 20 weeks pregnant. What should I do? F.Y.I., I am 25, and I quit smoking almost 7 years ago. I am scared it could be cancer!
