labored breathing/wheezing/slight cough/runny nose?!


Question: Labored breathing/wheezing/slight cough/runny nose?
these are my husbands symptoms he went on a trip to Morocco and claimed his symptoms arrived when he was on the "long" flight.

I can hear him breathing while just sitting or laying as if he had just finished a marathon while being extremely impaired to do so.

he is coughing but not excessively He has been home for about 3 hours and have heard him cough four times but when he does you can hear the congestion.

I got him Mucinex DM but am wondering if I should force him into the doctor...he is being very stubborn and will not go willingly

Answers:

The combination of a long flight, international travel, and difficulty breathing has me worried about things like clots in the lung (pulmonary embolism) or strange infections. He should definitely see a doctor. Both can be very serious.

I am a medical professional.



Tell him there are many diseases in other countries that our bodies are not immune to as is there's. He needs to see a doctor ASAP. He may just have a cold but it is better safe that sorry. When I was in another country my doctor gave me antibiotics to take while I was there and 30 days after I came back!
