Question 5

good day i have a question regarding bronchospasm. a doctor i talked to on this app told me the symptoms i have, correlate to having bronchospasm. i wanted to know if it takes longer than 14 days for bronchospasm to go away?

Accepted Answer

: Bronchospasm is a descriptive term for when the smaller airways are narrowed by circular muscles in response to a triggering force.   Asthma/virus/inhaled exposure/ etc.. It is a description/not a diagnosis. It can persist as long as the triggering force is present. With some viral LRI's that can be a month. You may want to seek an exam to decide  what your real diagnosis/triggering factor is

Question 8

i  have portal vein thrombosis due to taking estrogen/testosterone.  since i no longer take these hormones, can pvt go away on its own?

Accepted Answer

Portal Vein: Portal vein thrombosis wont go away on its own, but may recanalize on blood thinners. Best not to smoke with a history of PVT while on hormones. Often there is more than one associated  clotting risk factor. Hematologist can direct anticoagulation duration.  Vascular surgery input is advised. GI or vascular should follow you as varices (veins in esophagus) or ascites (belly fluid) can develop.

Question 9

i was diagnosed with chlamydia 2 days ago by my gp and he gave me 6 azithromycin 250mg to drink 2 daily. the problem is today is my last day of drinking them and the symptoms still don't go away. does it take longer for the symptoms to disappear?

Accepted Answer

Give it time: I would not expect any change in symptoms in less than a week if not a little longer. The med you are taking is somewhat different than many others. It attaches to fat cells in your body and leaks out into your blood over a 2+ week period to do its work. This allows it to be given in a short time while working much longer.

Question 10

is it true that if you take dayquil for symptom management if you have a cold (pn drip/sore throat/cough) that the cold may take longer to go away?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily : I would treat symptoms if improves the patient feeling better.Sometimes if you suppress a cough you may not clear secretions as much but if does significantly make you feel better and causes no other harm such as increasing blood pressure then I would treat it.It will likely not increase the duration of the illness that significantly.
