question:hello Doctor in the middlse of the night, i woke up with a pain in the centre of my chest. It hurt through to my back (centre). I suffer from mild asthma, so I used my inhaler, but that did not relieve it. I have suffered from costochondritis in the past, but never in the centre of my chest. What could it be? Thank you! age: 29 sex: female height: 5'1"
answer:Hi and welcome in HCMI can understand your concern.According to the history it is better for you to rule out unlikely conditions like GERD.In my opinion asthma does not cause pain.To determine the cause a fibrogastroscopy is needed to do and when you have the result the specialist gastrohepatologist will advice you further.Good luckThank youDr.JolandaPulmonologist

question:how does deriphyilin retard 150 help in lung fibrosis I am 58yrs old and weigh 73kg. I have been diagnoised more than 20yrs ago for systemic sclerosis with lung fibrosis and arthritis. I have cough 365 days of the year no tablets no cough syrups seem to help i was on steroids for a long time but that too doesnt help I want this mucous formation in the lungs to stop it causes discomfort i am not able to bring it out
answer:Hi and thank you for asking.Deriphyllin is a combination of Theophyllin and Etophylline and is used for asthma and other respiratory diseases.According to the history your lung fibrosis is due to systemic sclerosis and arthritis. Deriphyllin can help in your breathing but not in the cough.For the cough you can try mucolotics as Trebon 600 once per day and drink a lot of water.The main treatment for the fibrosis in your situation is the treatment of the systemic sclerosis and arthritis as the rhehumatologist advice.So good luckThank youDr.JolandaPulmonologist

question:Hello Doctor, I am having cough for the past 15 days.. I took cephalaxin 500 mg for 5 days then consulted a doctor and took Levoflaxin for 5 days... still i have cough... now Muclolite tablet seems to be working.. What should I do to do reduce my cough.. please suggest
answer:Hello and thank you for asking in HCM. According to the history you're under treatment for pneumonia. In my opinion this is the right treatment you are treating for. The mucolitic you have add can help you with the secretions to be more watery .Aftes some time the cough will be fewer. I don't think i would add anything else but i would do a chest X Ray for confirming the pneumonia. Wish you good health Dr Jolanda Pulmonologist
