Primary Koch's infection, also known as primary tuberculosis, refers to the initial infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis that occurs in a previously unexposed individual. It typically affects the lungs but can also involve other organs. Symptoms may include fever, cough, weight loss, and fatigue.
Doctors who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions of the ear, nose, throat, head, and neck are called otolaryngologists or ENTs. For both adults and children, they provide a broad variety of medical and surgical therapies. The following are a few typical treatment areas:
Disorders of Hearing:
: Assessment and treatment of auditory impairment.
treatment for wax accumulation and ear infections.
assessment and fitting of hearing aids.
Sinus and Nasal Disorders:
sinus infection diagnosis and treatment.
Handling of allergies, deviated septum, and congestion of the nose.
operations such as sinus surgery.
Voice and Throat Issues:
therapy for voice problems, tonsillitis, and sore throats.
Assessment and treatment of issues related to swallowing.
Vocal cord and tonsillectomy are examples of surgical procedures.
Conditions of the Head and Neck:
tumor identification and management in the head and neck area.
treatment of thyroid conditions and lumps in the neck.
Surgical procedures for malignancies of the head and neck.
Intolerances:
The diagnosis and treatment of allergy disorders affecting the throat, nose, and ears.
treatment and testing for allergies.
Disorders of Sleep:
Evaluation and management of various sleep-related conditions, such as sleep apnea.
surgical procedures for sleep apnea that may be required.
Reconstructive and plastic surgery of the face:
Head, neck, and face surgery, both cosmetic and reconstructive.
operations such as eyelid surgery, facelifts, and rhinoplasty.
ENT care for children:
specialized treatment for kids with congenital anomalies, tonsillitis, ear infections, and speech and hearing problems.
Disorders of Balance:
diagnosis and treatment of inner ear-related balance problems.
Control of lightheadedness and dizziness.
Injuries and Trauma:
treatment for fractures and other injuries to the face, head, or neck area.
To provide complete care, ENT doctors frequently work in conjunction with other experts, including audiologists, speech therapists, and oncologists. Depending on the particular ailment, they could suggest medication, lifestyle changes, or surgery.
For a comprehensive assessment and suitable therapy, those with symptoms on the ear, nose, or throat, such as ongoing discomfort, loss of hearing, or trouble breathing, should speak with an ENT specialist.

No. If you and the dog are both having trouble, it's probably another source. Maybe mold in the house or some other irritant that is close by. Check it out.

Yes oregano has long been hailed as helpful for bronchitis and other respiratory ailments. The ancient Greeks were amongst the first to recognise this.
=Antibiotics are normally only prescribed if a bacterium is the cause. If a virus is the problem, the infection will generally go away by itself. Over-the-counter painkillers are used to control the fever symptoms of a viral infection. Children should never take ASA* for a viral infection of the respiratory tract. It can cause Reye's syndrome, which is a rare and lethal inflammation of the brain. Cough medications used are either suppressants (which control the cough) or expectorants (which allow the cough to clear mucus from the airways). Bronchodilators are inhaled medications that help open up the airways. They are usually taken as a "puffer" (metered-dose inhaler) or as a mist used with a mask (nebuliser).=
ofcourse, yes! i can say that the tawa-tawa plants can cure the allergy because im a doctor and it test so many time and this the procedure on how to use it:
1. cut the roots.
2. and boil it in1 hour until it absord the water.
3. ready for drink give atleast 2 glasses everyday and it will cure.
Most commonly, acute bronchitis is caused by viruses. Bacterial causes are numerous, although difficult to prove because many people are colonized with bacterial pathogens in the mouth or oropharynx.
The most common suspected bacterial pathogens include Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydia pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Streptococcus pneumonia.
There are different symptoms of pneumonia and bronchitis. Some of the symptoms are a severe cough, an infection in the lungs that cause pain and fatigue.
Over the counter expectorant cough medicines can be effective. Try the ones with Guaifenesin as an ingredient, which loosens congestion, allowing secretions to be more easily cleared from your lungs and bronchial tubes. Take deep breaths to aerate your lungs. Cold air humidifiers can also be helpful. Drink plenty of fluids, consider Vitamin C supplements if you are not getting good nutrition from your diet of fruits and vegetables. Avoid dairy products.
If the cough persists or you get a fever over 101 degrees Fahrenheit, dizziness, shortness of breath or chest pain, contact a medical professional without delay for advice.
Be sure to cover your mouth when you cough, using a tissue, not your hand. If you do not have a tissue, cough into the "crook" of your elbow held closely to your body to catch the germs.
Do not smoke. Stay home from work or school and don't go into public except to seek medical advice or medications.
See below in the related question area for more information on protecting yourself and others from spreading germs.
You could be coughing up blood because you have a lung infection. Your throat could also be raw and sore. You should immediately go to the emergency room and not wait to figure this out on your own.
Cortisone suppresses the immune system, thus reducing inflammation and pain and swelling in the body.
Bronchitis is inflammation of the mucous membranes of the bronchi, the airways that carry airflow from the trachea into the lungs.
Treatment for bronchitis is mostly symptomatic.
I had bronchitis when i was 8 and it made it hard to breathe you cough alot and you miss school
Bronchitis describes inflammation of the bronchial tubes (inflammation = itis). The inflammation causes swelling of the lining of these breathing tubes, narrowing the tubes and promoting secretion of inflammatory fluid.
Acute bronchitis describes the inflammation of the bronchi usually caused by a viral infection, although bacteria and chemicals also may cause acute bronchitis. Bronchiolitis is a term that describes inflammation of the smaller bronchi referred to as bronchioles. In infants, this is usually caused by respiratory syncytial viruses (RSV), and affects the small bronchi and bronchioles more than the large. In adults, other viruses as well as some bacteria can cause bronchiolitis and often manifest as a persistent cough at times productive of small plugs of mucus.
Acute bronchitis is as mentioned above, is a cough that begins suddenly usually due to a viral infection involving the larger airways. Colds (also known as viral upper airway infections) often involve the throat (pharyngitis) and nasal passages, and at times the larynx (resulting in a diminished hoarse voice, also known aslaryngitis). Symptoms can include a runny nose, nasal stuffiness, and sore throat.Croup usually occurs in infants and young children and involves the voice box and upper large airways (the trachea and large bronchi).
Chronic bronchitis for research purposes is defined as a daily cough with sputum production for at least three months, two years in a row. Chronic bronchitis is a diagnosis usually made based on clinical findings of a long term persistent cough usually associated with tobacco abuse. From a pathologic standpoint, characteristic microscopic findings involving inflammatory cells in seen in airway tissue samples make the diagnosis. When referring to pulmonary function testing, a decrease in the ratio of the volume of airflow at 1 second when compared to total airflow is less than 70%. This confirms the presence of obstructive airways disease of which chronic bronchitis is one type. Certain findings can be seen on imaging studies (chest X-ray, and CT or MRI of the lungs) to suggest the presence of chronic bronchitis; usually this involves an appearance of thickened tubes.
What causes acute bronchitis?Bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchi, the branches in the lungs. The causes can vary, negative influences are:
- air pollution
- second hand smoking
- immune deficiency
- inhaling damaging substances
- inhaling a foreign object
- an exacerbated flu
- inhaling hot air (as in a fire)
- infection (bacterial or viral)
- asthma
Bronchitis is a cold that is in your lungs. You can get from germs. Bronchitis is not usually contagious, so you probably won't get it from other people.
Defined clinically as a daily cough with production of sputum for 3 months, two years in a row.
In chronic bronchitis, there is inflammation and swelling of the lining of the airways that lead to narrowing and obstruction of the airways. The inflammation stimulates production of mucous (sputum), which can cause further obstruction of the airways.
Obstruction of the airways, especially with mucus, increases the likelihood of bacterial lung infections.
Usually, unless you have a fever, you can get a flu vaccination. If the bronchitis is not causing fever, then it is probably okay for you to get the vaccination, just discuss it with the clinician prior to getting the vaccination.
If the bronchitis has been severe or long term and you are still taking antibiotics for it, check with the doctor who prescribed the antibiotics to be sure you do not need to wait until after you have finished your antibiotics.
Yes & No 'cause it is only a fancy name for cold or flue.But if you always have the cold or flue yes it is a very common disease.But on the other hand no if you don't get a cold or the flue offen it is not a common disease.

What is Wegener's granulomatosis?
Wegener's granulomatosis is a rare disease of uncertain cause. It is characterized by inflammation in a variety of tissues, including blood vessels (vasculitis). Inflammation damages vital organs of the body.
Wegener's granulomatosis primarily affects the upper respiratory tract [sinuses, nose, trachea (upper air tube)], lungs, and kidneys. Other organ systems that can be affected by the disease include the nervous system, ears, eyes, heart, and skin.
What are the symptoms?
The symptoms of Wegener's granulomatosis and their severity vary among patients. General signs of the disease may include:
Most patients first notice symptoms in the respiratory tract. Symptoms may include:
Other possible symptoms include:
*Although kidney inflammation is common, it is not usually associated with symptoms, such as pain.
How is it diagnosed?
Wegener's granulomatosis has symptoms similar to a number of other disorders, which may make it difficult to diagnose. However, for the most effective and successful treatment, early diagnosis is critical.
It is the combination of symptoms, results of physical examinations, laboratory tests, X-rays, and sometimes a biopsy (sample) of affected tissue (skin, nose, sinus, lung, or kidney) that together prove the diagnosis of Wegener's granulomatosis. Following treatment, these factors are also critical in judging whether the disease is active or in remission.
A positive blood test for antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) can support a suspected diagnosis of the disease. However, this blood test does not by itself prove the diagnosis of Wegener's granulomatosis or determine disease activity.
Other tests that influence a doctor's judgment of disease activity include:
Sometimes the lungs may become abnormal even though there are no symptoms such as cough or shortness of breath. Therefore, it is important to periodically have lung X-rays if you are diagnosed with Wegener's granulomatosis - even if you don't have any symptoms of lung disease.
