Question: I am suffering from irritation at throat and dry cough since 15 to 20 years, the time I had started taking pills for BP. I have changed 3 doctors. Now a days the frequency of cough increased. I have slight pain like feeling on my left abdomen. While coughing the same place expands or bents. Recently five months back I have done AEC test which counted 1.1 thou/mm3. Also done test 5 month back IMMUNOGLOBULIN IgE,SERUM(FEIA) which counted 2743 kUA/L. In Glucose, fasting it was 130 mg/dL and pp 124. Doctor advised Setapin 500, Zentel400 and Alerfix Total. After taking the medicine for 2 months I did not go to the hospital due to the work schedule. Visited doctor (senior Doctor this time)on 12th oct who prescribed Foracort200 inhaler and Salbair- I,Cetapin XR 1 g, Alerfix M. I consulted the doctor as advised after ten days with a new test report of AEC which is 1.00 thou/mm3 and NCCT-PNS (CT PNS Axial & Coronals (Plain). He added Duonase nasal spray and advised to consult after one month after showing the NCCT-PNR test scan report to an ENT specialist.If this report is required I will provide as you advise.

My BP is controlled with medicine. I am 65 years old entrepreneur in Delhi. Daily I take 3-4 pegs of whiskey after 9 PM at home. I am a non vegitarian. Was doing excercise regularly. Because of knee pain it has been discontinued.

Hi Dr. XXXXXXX Bhatti,

Thank you very much for your valued feedback. The Doctor to whom I consulted who had prescribed for HT was confidently telling the medication was not causing cough. The medicines are Amlopress AT and Natrilix SR for morning and Covance-50 for night.
Recently the medicine has been replaced by new doctor. Covance-50 (morning & night), Amlopress-5 (morning).
As I am not able to send images of CT PNS and X-ray through mail, I am sending the Investigation/test results. The XXXXXXX c-ANA and pANCA tests will be done later on after getting further diagnosis advises.

Is the pain on knee because of allergy or arthritis? Can you please recommend for operation if it is arthritis? Occasionally the pain increases at left knee. It is controlled by Cap. Nimulid and orthopaedic heating pad. Is the left abdominal pain at one point causing any problems? Is it gas trouble? Gas problems are there. Ultrasound had done only for this pain. The doctor told not to worry.

I belong to Kerala and settled in Delhi since 42 years and am a non-smoker since 15 years. I worked in Ferrite dust area (but controlled) for 15 years. Now too my establishment is engaged in dust releasing grinding works which of course controlled with water, though I am sitting in separate room.

Thanks & Regards,
XXXXXXX
