Question 1

I've recently gotten over a bout of typhoid and had to take a lot of medication during that time. Lately, I've been experiencing a sensation I can only describe as "air hunger" or a sense of shortness of breath, as if I need to take long breaths. Can you tell me what this might be?

Question 2

I'm really worried about this report. It says my loved one has Klebsiella pneumonia in their lungs and the bacteria seems resistant to most antibiotics, except for colistin and amikacin. Also, it's mentioned as carbapenemase resistantshould I be really concerned about that? And there's something about a colony count of 104 cfuml. What exactly does that mean and how serious is this situation?

Accepted Answer

it means the patient cannot be treated with the antibiotics which are resistant

Question 3

I've been feeling really worried about some symptoms I've been having and I need some advice. I saw a news report from a doctor saying that taking excessive steam can lead to pneumonia. I've been taking really hot steam three times a day with the gas on for about 45 days straight, starting since August. Since then, I've been experiencing a really itchy throat, pain in my nose, upper chest, upper back, neck, and shortness of breath. During winter, I get these severe chills. Ive done so many tests like cbp, crp, serum creatinine, serum uric acid, thyroid, vitamin b12, vitamin d3, nt pro bnp, calcium, eeg, but everything comes back normal. I've used medicines like azee, doxcyp, bilagra, salt gargle, betadine, Medrol, pregabalin, and mk flutron, but nothing is helping. If I'm lying down in bed, there's no pain, but as soon as I get up, there's severe upper back pain and I'm unable to sit or do any work. I also feel too much shortness of breath, throat itching, and nose pain. It's not COVID because I had an hrct chest to rule it out which showed corads 2 infective etiology and bilateral minimal pleural effusions. I've visited many doctors but still don't feel any better. Can you help me understand what's going on and what I can do next?
