I'm having some trouble with my breathing that's been going on for about 10-12 days. I'm constantly feeling the need to take deep breaths, yet exercising like jogging or using stairs doesnt seem to be a problem. It's odd because I'm yawning a lot during the day, and it seems to get worse at night. I'm really puzzled and a bit worried about what might be causing this. Could you help me understand what's going on?

I'm really concerned about something and I was hoping to get some advice. I've been inhaling steam directly from the stove for the last 45 days, about three times a day. Initially, doctors said steam wouldn't cause harm, but now my health is declining. I've even damaged my lungs, and it's been really painful. Could the steam be the reason? I feel like it's affecting me a lot and I'm worried. What should I do?

I'm dealing with a lung issue here. My right lung got injured because I was coughing a lot, and the doctor had to operate and put a tube in. Now it's healed up, but the x-ray shows my right lung is full of water. Is there a way to get rid of it with just medicine? What should I do?
