I recently had Pneumonia & was released from the hospital one month ago. After discharge, I went to the ER several times due to symptoms as I have Asthma and was given antibiotics, neb tx, prednisone. Now I am having shortness of breath after a BM, & using my as needed ProAir inhaler several times per day. Also, I ve had green soft formed BM s for three days and I have a red rash on both my legs.
