Common Questions
Pulmonology FAQs
When should I see a chest specialist for a cough?
See a doctor if a cough lasts more than 2–3 weeks, comes with fever, weight loss or blood, or if you feel breathless. These can be signs of infection, TB, asthma or other lung problems.
What is the difference between asthma and COPD?
Asthma often starts young and symptoms come and go, usually with triggers like dust or cold air. COPD develops slowly in adults, often due to smoking or smoke exposure, and breathlessness tends to stay.
Are inhalers safe for long-term use?
Yes. Inhalers deliver medicine directly to the lungs in small doses and are the safest, most effective treatment for asthma and COPD when used as prescribed.
Is TB curable?
Yes. TB is curable with a full course of medicines, usually for at least six months. It is important not to stop the medicines early, even if you feel better.
What tests are done for breathing problems?
Tests may include a chest X-ray, CT scan, blood and sputum tests, and lung function tests (spirometry). Pluto Hospital has digital X-ray and a 128-slice CT on site; other tests are arranged as advised.
When is breathlessness an emergency?
Severe breathlessness at rest, blue lips, chest pain, confusion or inability to speak in full sentences need emergency care. Call 98985 90101 or come to emergency immediately.
