For an antibiotic, I felt a sinus infection coming on and didn’t want it to get worse. Went in and the dr. Said I have copd. Because she heard a little wheezing when I coughed. My oxygen was 97/98 and I had no trouble breathing? She did no X-ray or breathing test…..is she telling the truth??? Help thanks

Hi Scott. Glad to hear that you are improving. If it was pneumonia then it will take some time to recover. Monitor your symptoms closely and if there is any deterioration in your condition then see your doctor immediately. Also ensure that you take the antibiotics as prescribed.

Thank you I did go to see my physician and he not only gave me a nebulizer treatment but an inhaler and put me on Z-pak for what he felt was the start of pneumonia in my left lung. 5 days later i am feeling better but still coughing and raspy when exhaling. Getting better though.

Hi Scott. It is not uncommon for a secondary bacterial infection of the airways and lungs to occur after a flu (if these symptoms are not a continuation of the flu itself). It leads to conditions like bronchitis and sometimes even pneumonia. The mucus build up in the bronchi and narrowing of these airways can cause the wheezing that you hear. It does not mean that you have asthma. However, there is no way of saying for sure through an online platform. You should consult with a doctor. While there is no cure for the flu, these secondary bacterial infections can be effectively treated with antibiotics. Failure to seek treatment early for these conditions can lead to complications.

Now i hear and feel a buzzing on exhaling fully and feel like it is hard to breath deeply without effort. It feels like Im struggling to breathe fully when i lay down or try to sleep. Do I have asthma? Or is this from over working bronchial area from coughing to much? Do I need medication or will it go away after awhile? I was concerned about pneumonia.

Hi Phani

Yes, newborns with MAS are more likely to suffer with wheezing and recurrent chest infections, especially within the first year of life. It is often most prominent in the first 6 months. However, you should take your baby to a pediatrician to exclude other underlying causes like allergic asthma, etc.

She suffered from Mechonium Aspiration Syndrome and she was there in NICU for 1 month. Now her lungs are clear but she is still suffering from Wheezing. We are using BudeCort Inhealer and Levolin if there is high wheezing sound. I heard that, Mechonium Aspired babies will suffer from wheezing for atleast one year. Is it true?

Hi Rosemary

Both risperidone and procyclidine can aggravate a preexisting case of asthma. As to the association with watching television or listening to radio, this is difficult to explain and you should speak to your doctor. He may be getting excited by something on TV or the radio which can result in wheezing if he is asthmatic. You should speak to your doctor about this or discuss it with the neurologist who may be more knowledgeable about this peculiar side effect of the drug.
