hi Doc, i was diagnosed with paracadiac pneumonitis 6 years ago and given some treatment which i have continued taking as well as avoid the aggrevating factors. But the problem has refused to go away. Please advise on whether I should try herbal medicine or what should i do because sometime it get severe to the extent that i expireince complete breathlessness
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of bronchitis is more. Bronchitis is common after lung infection like pneumonia and can cause breathlessness. In my opinion, you should definitely consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (pulmonary function test). PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis, but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You may need inhaled treatment. Yes, you can try herbal medicines, no harm in it. But first consult pulmonologist and discuss all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
