Could inhaling too much hot steam daily for 45 days have caused my ongoing throat irritation, nose and chest pain, severe upper back pain when sitting up, shortness of breath, and a small amount of fluid around both lungs, and what can I do next since medications like Azee, Doxcyp, Bilagra, Betadine, Medrol, Pregabalin, and Flutron have not helped?
Inhaling hot steam daily for 45 days can cause thermal irritation to your airways, explaining some nose, throat, and chest discomfort. However, symptoms like shortness of breath, severe back pain, and fluid around the lungs require a closer look, especially since medications like Azee, Doxcyp, Bilagra, Betadine, Medrol, Pregabalin, and Flutron haven't brought relief. Please consult a pulmonologist. They can perform a detailed evaluation, possibly including a chest CT or ultrasound, to find the exact cause of the fluid and guide your recovery.
