I've been sneezing nonstop and it's hard to breathe. I was taking Medrol 4mg, and now I have chest and back pain. I had an MRI done for my chest and lungs, and it showed there's an infection. What could be causing all this? Do I need to be worried about the infection spreading or getting worse? What should my next steps be?

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?

I've been doing diaphragmatic breathing regularly and I'm wondering if it's actually beneficial. What should be considered a normal breathing pattern? Is it more common to do chest breathing, diaphragmatic breathing, or is there another method I should know about? I'm a bit confused and would love some guidance.
