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?

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?

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

I've been experiencing breathing problems ever since the first wave of COVID. My hemoglobin levels are normal, my oxygen level is at 98, and an X-ray indicates I have chronic bronchitis. Is there any way to cure this permanently? I've never smoked or even tried it, so I'm really confused about what's causing this. Can you help me understand what's going on and if there's a long-term solution?

Salbutamol inhaler and budesonide 200 sos is advised for breathing difficulty.
