Can acute bronchitis recur?

Acute bronchitis is a very common inflammatory disease of the respiratory system, typically quite severe, mainly due to the body's low immune function, exposure to cold, rain, or infection by certain viruses or bacteria. Symptoms in patients include fever, cough, sputum production, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. Usually, acute bronchitis can be completely cured within about one to two weeks with timely and effective anti-infective treatment, cough suppression, expectorants, and asthma relief. Once effectively and completely cured, acute bronchitis is not prone to recurrence. The so-called recurrence may occur if the patient's acute bronchitis was not 100% fully cured, or if medication was stopped too soon, leading to the re-emergence of clinical symptoms such as cough and sputum production shortly after treatment.

Can I eat persimmons when I have a cold with a stuffy nose?

The common cold is a very common upper respiratory infection, with many and complex factors causing upper respiratory infections in clinical practice. Therefore, patients often present with symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, fever, itchy throat, and cough. For patients experiencing severe nasal congestion, it is permissible to eat persimmons. Persimmons have a high nutritional value, containing a large amount of nutrients such as vitamin C, vitamin A, and vitamin B that the body needs. They also contain other trace elements. Therefore, it is suitable for cold patients with nasal congestion to eat persimmons. Additionally, patients can also appropriately consume other fruits like apples, pears, loquats, and water chestnuts.

Can I eat mangoes with acute bronchitis?

Acute bronchitis is a very common inflammatory condition of the respiratory system, generally characterized by a sudden onset. Patients may experience clinical symptoms such as fever, cough, phlegm, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. For such patients, especially during the acute febrile phase, it is generally advised not to eat mangoes. Mangoes contain a high amount of sugar and are a tropical fruit. Eating mangoes during an acute bronchitis infection may exacerbate the patient's phlegm and even increase cough severity to varying degrees. Therefore, it is recommended that patients with acute bronchitis avoid eating mangoes as much as possible.

What fruits can you eat with a stomach cold?

Gastrointestinal cold is a common type of cold, generally caused by a viral invasion of the respiratory tract leading to an upper respiratory tract infection. Clinically, patients with this type of infection exhibit symptoms not only of upper respiratory tract infections but also gastrointestinal discomfort, such as bloating, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and decreased appetite. As viruses invade the body and affect the gastrointestinal tract, these clinical symptoms occur. For patients with gastrointestinal colds, it is generally recommended to consume fresh vegetables and fruits, which can help in recovery. Patients with gastrointestinal colds can consume bananas, apples, and pears. However, for patients with prominent symptoms of nausea and vomiting, it is advisable to warm the fruits slightly or prepare mashed apples or bananas, as this could be more beneficial.

Is pleurisy without effusion serious?

Pleurisy is very common clinically and generally occurs in some males. It is mainly caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection of the pleural cavity. Some patients with pleurisy may not have obvious effusion, leading to less severe symptoms. Such patients should be treated promptly with anti-tuberculosis drugs, and generally, this does not lead to serious consequences. If pleurisy is not treated effectively with medications, it might lead to a worsening of the condition, causing different amounts of effusion in the pleural cavity. In severe cases, it can cause respiratory difficulty and cyanosis. Therefore, even without effusion, pleurisy can potentially lead to serious consequences and should be treated promptly. Generally, it can be effectively and completely cured under normal circumstances.

Does type A influenza cause vomiting?

Influenza A is a very common upper respiratory tract infection caused by the H1N1 influenza virus after infecting the respiratory tract. Typically, patients with this type of flu will experience varying degrees of fever, and the body temperature tends to be quite high during fevers. Commonly, these patients may experience headache, dizziness, reduced appetite, and general weakness during the acute phase of infection. For patients with influenza A, due to the high fever, some may experience gastrointestinal discomfort, including nausea and vomiting. This is mainly because the fever can affect normal digestive functions. Thus, when these patients eat slightly more than usual, they may experience gastrointestinal discomfort. Therefore, it is common for these patients to experience varying degrees of nausea and vomiting, particularly in conjunction with headaches or when they have sore throats and coughs. As long as timely antiviral and symptomatic supportive therapies are administered, once the influenza A virus is effectively controlled, the symptoms of vomiting will also be alleviated.

How to treat a child's cold and fever

Children's fever colds are relatively common in clinical practice. In response to this phenomenon, we usually recommend administering appropriate antipyretic and detoxifying medications to children. Of course, it is also necessary to identify the specific pathogens involved. If it is a viral infection, antiviral treatment should be administered promptly, followed by the appropriate use of antipyretic and detoxifying traditional Chinese medicines for symptomatic treatment, which can alleviate symptoms. If a child with a fever cold exhibits severe symptoms, such as high fever, treatment should be based on the level of fever. Appropriate antipyretic medications should be used for symptomatic treatment. It is also advisable to remind caregivers to ensure the child drinks plenty of warm water to prevent dehydration that can occur after fever reduction. (The use of medications should be under the guidance of a professional doctor.)

Can people with pulmonary hypertension run?

In cases where pulmonary hypertension is not too severe, it is appropriate to do some light running, such as jogging. However, in severe episodes of pulmonary hypertension, vigorous activity is strictly prohibited, and some patients are even advised against getting out of bed. Therefore, for patients with pulmonary hypertension, the ability to run mainly depends on their individual condition. For example, in the early stages where the disease is not very severe, and some patients may only experience symptoms like shortness of breath and fatigue after activity without chest tightness, rapid breathing, or chest pain, these patients can opt for light jogging based on their own conditions.

Can you eat grapes when you have a cold?

The common cold is a type of upper respiratory tract infection, generally caused by a viral infection. This happens when the body’s immune function is compromised, for instance, due to exposure to cold or transmission from another infected person. Symptoms include varying degrees of nasal congestion, runny nose, and sneezing. It is generally recommended for such patients to consume foods high in vitamins and protein. Grapes, which are often consumed, are particularly nutritious as they contain high levels of Vitamin B and Vitamin C. These nutrients in grapes can also enhance the body's immune capabilities. Therefore, it is advisable for patients with a cold to consume grapes appropriately, as it can be beneficial.

How does pleurisy ascites form?

Pleurisy is relatively common in clinical settings, with numerous and complex triggering factors. It is often caused by an infection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis invading the pleural cavity, leading to inflammatory lesions. This often results in exudative inflammation, where fluid leakage into the pleural cavity can occur, but pleurisy generally does not cause ascites. The formation of ascites may have an indirect relation to pleurisy, but it primarily depends on the presence of other factors, such as acute pelvic inflammatory disease, chronic kidney diseases, or liver diseases, which could all potentially lead to the formation of ascites in patients.
