Patient's question:
I have been taking nephrotic syndrome medication for 3 years. Recently, I caught a cold and have been feeling a bit stuffy in the upper part of my chest after taking the medicine. Is it necessary to do something to take care of my stomach? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, you have developed nephrotic syndrome, which is primarily caused by excessive urinary protein, leading to reduced blood protein, resulting in edema in the body, as well as a weakened immune system, making it easier to contract infections and other diseases? Based on your current condition, recently due to the recurrence of a cough, you have taken many medications for treatment, which has caused discomfort in the chest area. This should be a side effect of the medication. After stopping the medication, it should gradually subside. If necessary, you can take medications to protect the gastric mucosa for treatment.
