I've been diagnosed with bronchitis after checking my x-ray, and I've taken a lot of antibiotics, but now I'm having pain on the lower right side of my chest. The weird thing is I don't have any cough at all. I've just started taking Prentiss 800. What should I do next? Any advice would really help.

it's gastritis because antibiotics will cause gastritis sometimes

I've been noticing that my SPO2 level is above 95, which I thought was supposed to be okay, but I'm still experiencing some breathlessness today. Should I be worried about this or is it normal to feel this way sometimes?

Patient is advised spirometry,Pulmonary function tests and sputum for AFB and microscopy.

Sometimes when I breathe in, I hear this weird whistling sound. It's mostly when I inhale, rather than when I exhale. Do you think that's something I should be worried about? I don't really have any other symptoms and I'm feeling pretty good overall, but the noise is kind of strange and I'm not sure if it's something that needs urgent attention. Is this normal or should I get it checked out?

Ecg and chest x-ray pa view is advised to the patient.

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?

Yes,continue same treatment.Ecg and x-ray chest pa view is advised to the patient.
