Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. When should I see a pulmonologist?

You should see a pulmonologist for breathlessness, chronic cough, wheezing, repeated chest infections, chest tightness, blood in sputum, low oxygen, sleep-related breathing issues, or cough lasting more than a few weeks.

2. What causes chronic cough?

Chronic cough may be caused by asthma, allergy, post-nasal drip, acid reflux, COPD, infection, medicines, smoking, or lung disease. A pulmonologist evaluates the pattern and associated symptoms.

3. What is tracheal dilatation?

Tracheal dilatation is a procedure used in selected patients with narrowing of the trachea or airway. It helps widen the airway and improve breathing when clinically suitable.

4. What are symptoms of tracheal stenosis?

Symptoms may include noisy breathing, breathlessness, cough, wheezing that does not respond to usual treatment, difficulty speaking, or breathing discomfort after previous airway procedures.

5. Can asthma be controlled?

Yes. Many asthma patients can control symptoms with the right inhaler, trigger avoidance, follow-up, and action plan. Correct inhaler technique is very important.

6. What is COPD?

COPD is a long-term lung condition that causes breathing difficulty, cough, phlegm, and reduced lung function. Smoking is a major risk factor, but other exposures can contribute.

7. When is breathlessness an emergency?

Breathlessness is an emergency if it is sudden, severe, associated with chest pain, blue lips, confusion, fainting, low oxygen, high fever, or inability to speak full sentences.

8. Do I need antibiotics for every cough?

No. Many coughs are viral, allergic, or asthma-related and do not need antibiotics. Treatment depends on cause, duration, fever, sputum, and examination.

9. How can I prevent breathing flare-ups?

Avoid smoking, control allergies, use inhalers correctly, take medicines as advised, treat infections early, follow vaccination advice, and attend regular follow-up for chronic lung disease.

10. Which doctor treats airway narrowing?

A pulmonologist evaluates airway narrowing and may coordinate care with ENT, anesthesia, or surgery teams. Treatment depends on the site, cause, and severity of narrowing.
