How to Restore Lung Health After Quitting Smoking?

Patient's Query

Hi doctor, my name is KALLOL Mondal, and I am 22 years old and my weight is around 65 KG. So, it's been two years since I have been smoking cigarettes, but for the last two months, I have stopped smoking. So my question is, how do I recover my lungs like a normal healthy person from the damage so far?

Answered by Dr. Shweta Bansal

To aid lung recovery, focus on a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables, which contain antioxidants that help repair lung tissue. Engage in regular aerobic exercises, such as walking or cycling, to improve lung function and stamina. Stay hydrated to help clear out toxins. Additionally, practicing deep breathing exercises can enhance lung capacity. While many experience improvements over time, if you notice any persistent symptoms like coughing or shortness of breath, please consult a pulmonologist for personalized advice.

Hi doctor, Yesterday i spent around 35 minutes sitting and talking to a MDR TB patient who has been taking medications for 5 months. I am worried about exposure. Pls guide me.

Female | 19

Hanging around some­one with MDR TB can understandably be unne­rving. TB symptoms encompass coughing, chest discomfort, weight re­duction, and exhaustion. The disease­ transmits through airborne droplets when an infe­cted individual coughs or sneeze­s. To play it safe, schedule an appointme­nt with your doctor for a TB te­st. They'll advise you on any nece­ssary precautions to safeguard your health.

I am having cough from last 2 weeks

Female | 35

It is recommended that you seek the advice of a pulmonologist if you have been having symptoms of cough for more than 2 weeks. Chronic cough is a common symptom that can be related to various respiratory diseases like asthma, bronchitis, and lung cancer.

I am 30 years old male and have cough and sore throat for 4 days. And also having head and chest pain during coughing. Taken himalaya koflet syrup, ginger tulsi tea but its not working. Please tell me what to do?

Male | 30

These are all signs of some breathing bug like cold or flu. Right now what will help most is to drink plenty of liquids, stay in bed as long as possible, and take something like Tylenol for the pain. If you don’t start feeling better soon or if things get worse instead, then go to a doctor to take a look at what’s going on with your body.

I am a woman and have had a severe cold for about a week now.

Female | 22

A persiste­nt cold can be troublesome, with runny nose­s, coughing, sneezing, sore throats, and fatigue­. Viruses spread these­ common illnesses betwe­en people. Re­st, hydrate, and consider over-the­-counter remedie­s for relief. Gargling warm saltwater soothe­s sore throats. Seek me­dical attention if symptoms worsen or persist be­yond a week.

can asthma inhalers cause cancer?

Male | 46

No, asthma inhalers are not known to cause cancer. In fact, asthma inhalers are a vital part of managing asthma symptoms and reducing the risk of asthma attacks. However, excessive use of certain types of inhalers may cause some side effects, such as oral thrush or hoarseness. It is important to use inhalers as prescribed by a doctor and to discuss any concerns with them.

Sir/Mam I have been diagnosed with Prominence of broncho vascular markings.?Few tiny calcification at both hilar area in chest and I have tested Tuberculosis Negative and i do not have any kind of symptoms I do not smoke. What might be the cause of those scar? as I am planning to go abroad for job will I be able to clear GAMCA Medical?

Male | Shikhar Bomzan

Even though you've tested negative for Tuberculosis and have no symptoms, these markings might be due to previous inflammation or infection. It's important to follow up with your doctor to make sure everything is okay before going abroad for a job. Get a thorough check-up and any additional tests your doctor recommends.

I have played national matches in boxing and wrestling. I had severe chest pain in May. If I show in the hospital, in the x-ray, it will show water in the chest, after fluid tapping, Tb will be found in that water, I was under a lot of mental stress. Because I have to take care of my house. I have been taking the medicine given by the doctor since one month, I have started boxing and wrestling training, I am feeling a little better but I am not feeling any strength in my body, can I take creatine to get strength? Please help me a little

Male | 26

Pneumothorax (TB) might be the water inside your chest. This is due to the fact that the immune system, when it is weak, can bring on the symptoms such as chest pain and tiredness. While taking medications as prescribed should be your priority, do not take creatine without your doctor’s approval because it may worsen your condition. However, for now, make sure you are resting enough, eating properly, and gradually getting back into your regular training routine.

Weldon sir/ma, I am issues with breathing and sometimes too I have chest pain, sometimes when I stand. I was told to do an x-ray to figure it out but the test results came out anf everything seemed normal, but I am still having issues.

Male | 15

You reporte­d breathing difficulties, chest discomfort whe­n standing, despite normal X-ray results. This could indicate­ asthma, anxiety, or acid reflux issues. I advise­ discussing additional testing with your doctor, such as lung function evaluation or ele­ctrocardiogram (ECG). These further e­xaminations may provide insight into the underlying cause­, allowing appropriate treatment.

My CT Scan report. Area of ground glass opacification is seen in the right lower lobe. A tiny subpleural nodule is seen in the right lung on image #4-46. What meant by it in easy and understandable words

Male | 32

Based on the CT scan report, here are a couple of findings:

Ground glass opacification in the right lower lobe: This refers to an area in the lung that appears hazy or cloudy on the CT scan. It can indicate various conditions, such as inflammation, infection, or early stages of lung disease.

Subpleural nodule in the right lung: This refers to a small abnormality or growth detected in the right lung, near the outer lining of the lung. The exact nature of the nodule would need further evaluation to determine if it is benign (non-cancerous) or potentially malignant (cancerous).
