Hello
Thank you for trusting HCM
Dear don't worry nothing will happen.
what about your reports of blood and cxray. which part of kind involved?? is it bilateral??
Dear unilateral single line pneumonia may won't cause breathlessness, until unless it is associated acute bronchitis or asthmatic component.
I think you may be suffering from acute bronchitis with pneumonia.
Continue inhaler avoid cool drinks and freeze water, Avoid smoking and cold environment.
Use water vapour inhalation thrice a day and salt water gargling thrice a day.
If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care
