Question: I was prescribed an inhaler for bronchitis and it's causing a lot of strange noises!?
So, I've had bronchitis for 8 days now and the worst part is the wheezing I hear from my middle of chest and even throat area, which makes me unable to lie flat to sleep!. My doctor prescribed an inhaler and it has slightly cleared the phlegm!. All I hear are crackly noises from my throat and chest!. Is that the inhaler working!? I've coughed some but not enough to stop the crackly noises!. I NEVER had bronchitis before and I'm worried because I'm a stem cell transplant survivor!. I contracted bronchitis by my sister who contracted it by a coworker!. I'm nervous because of the crackly noises I hear all day!. Any advice, please!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
The crakly noises your are hearing is probably the phlegm "moving"!.!.!.which is a good thing!. When you were wheezing, your lungs were so full of phlegm that little air was entering your lungs so it was like a clogged drain!. Now that you are taking an inhaler!.!.!.it is helping the phlegm "move" (and probaly also helping your lungs dialate which allows more air to enter and therefore help your breath easier) so you should be able to cough up the phlegm and breath normally!. Be faithful with your regimen that your doctor prescribed you!.!.!.!.drink lots of fluids it will also help!Www@Answer-Health@Com
