Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I can understand your concern.
Based on your additional symptoms of coughing so hard that it hurts your right lung, waking you up at night, and occasionally making you vomit, your respiratory infection or underlying medical condition may have progressed or worsened. Here are some additional treatment options:
1. Respiratory infection: If your respiratory infection has progressed or worsened, your healthcare provider may recommend additional treatment options, such as:
Antibiotics: If your respiratory infection is caused by bacteria, your healthcare provider may recommend antibiotics to help fight off the infection.
Corticosteroids: In some cases, corticosteroids may be recommended to help manage inflammation associated with a respiratory infection.
Hospitalization: In severe cases of respiratory infection, hospitalization may be necessary to provide additional medical care and monitoring.
2. Asthma: If your asthma symptoms have progressed or worsened, your healthcare provider may recommend additional treatment options, such as:
Increased medication dosage: Your healthcare provider may recommend increasing the dosage of your asthma medications to help manage your symptoms.
Pulmonary function tests: Pulmonary function tests can help your healthcare provider determine the severity of your asthma and develop a personalized treatment plan.
Allergy testing: Allergy testing can help identify asthma triggers and develop a plan to avoid them.
3. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): If your COPD symptoms have progressed or worsened, your healthcare provider may recommend additional treatment options, such as:
Oxygen therapy: In severe cases of COPD, oxygen therapy may be necessary to help manage breathing difficulties.
Pulmonary rehabilitation: Pulmonary rehabilitation can help improve lung function and manage COPD symptoms.
Lung transplant: In severe cases of COPD, a lung transplant may be necessary to improve breathing and quality of life.
Remember to always follow the recommendations of your healthcare provider and communicate any concerns or questions you may have. They can provide more detailed information about your specific condition and help you develop a personalized treatment plan that meets your needs and lifestyle.
I hope this helps you.
Thank you.
Regards.
