Suggest Treatment For Fever, Dry Mouth, Shortness Of Breath And Lump On Throat

I have been sick for 2 months now with ongoing fevers everyday ranging from 99.4-101.6. I have been treated with antibiotics 2x and steriods 2x as well as tussionex cough medication. I am asthmatic but take my medication regularly. I have shortness of breath so bad on exertion that i can t speak a full sentence. I sweat profusely and sometimes my legs feel weak. My heart races on these episodes of exertion. I have a dry mouth and sometimes feel like I have a lump in my throat. I have no allergies to drugs or otherwise. My chest xray was normal. My CT showed a 6mm mass on my left lung along with scar tissue and other 2mm nodules. The CT was redone recently and he said there was no change. I have made an appt with my cardiologist I did have a pericardial effusion many years ago, and trying to find a ENT doctor. I don t know what to do

Hi,

- Get a swab of the lump smear to check what is growing
- Do you have cough?
- I would like you to consult with CT films and printed report
- We can't comment on vague reports mentioned coz it is very unlikely
- You can continue with Amoxycillin twice a day, take Salbutamol nebs if excessive shortening of breath and continue with your asthma medications

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
