[|Human|] Respected SirChest X-Ray report of my mother shows " increased Broncho- vascular marking" indicating that it is Bronchitis. It is getting difficult for the patient to respire properly. this condition occurs 3-4 times in a year mostly in summer season in a gap of 10-15 days when she cant respire or take air properly. it took 3 days to get her well, on 1st day there is indication that there is respiratory problem, slight noise while respiration but she can walk, talk & even sleep properly. The next day i.e. Day2, the situation gets worsen & she even cant talk , walk or even sleep properly. She finds herself comfortable sitting quitely.The noise of her respiration gets louder in such condition. On Day3, the condition improves a little bit. though difficult in walking, but she can talk a little & even sleep while in sitting condition. By day 4 she started behaving like a normal person. It has been almost 7-8 years since now, & for the first time in this year this happened in winter season i.e. in January. She is getting  Homeopathic treatment  as she finds it comfortable & not using any inhalers or alopatChatDoctoredicines as she doesnt want to use that. The period of suffering i.e. 3-4 days remains same in all the years even while under medical treatment. She is vegeterian & eats only fish occasionally . Is it related to eating??What is the possible reason of such condition?? What precautions can we take for her?? any other treatment or test that should be done?? Kindly suggest your opinion.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of seasonal allergic bronchitis is more in her case. So in my opinion first get done Pulmonary Function Test (PFT). This will tell you about severity of the bronchitis. And treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only. She may need inhaled bronchodilators. She may also benefit by combination of antihistamine and anti-allergic Chat Doctor.  This should be taken 1 week before season change and continue 1 week after completion of season. Since all these are prescribed medicines, you need doctor s prescription for them. So consult doctor, discuss all these and start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. Wishing her good health. Thanks.
