View allI'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.

I've been dealing with this annoying dry cough ever since I recovered from a fever and cold last week. It feels like it's coming from deep in the lungs and has a lot of force behind it. I've been taking chericof for three days now, but it hasn't helped at all. I visited a doctor, got an injection, and he prescribed some meds, saying I'd feel better by the next day, but there's been zero relief. It's just this relentless dry coughno fever, body pain, fatigue, appetite issues, or high blood pressure. Do you have any idea what's going on and what I should consider doing next?
