My mother has severe phelgm/mucus resultantly she feels problem in respiration. Doctor suggested tablet montegate and syrup prospan and respiratory pump but she has not found any relieve yet, we often have to nebulize her. She has been suffering for approximately a month and twice we have been to the professor level doctor in Pakistan besides mucosolvan syrup is not available in Pakistan.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist for your mother and get done1. Chest x ray2. PUT (pulmonary function test).3. CT thorax if needed. There are few possibilities in your mothers case.1. Lower respiratory tract infection (LETI)2. Chronic bronchitis.3. Pulmonary fibrosis. So get done chest x-ray to rule out LETI (pneumonia). PFT is needed to rule out chronic bronchitis. And CT thorax is needed to rule out pulmonary fibrosis if x-ray is inconclusive. So I advise to consult pulmonologist and first diagnose her than start appropriate treatment. This will help her more, rather than giving haphazard treatment.
