I have a typhoid and breathing problem
A month ago, I had typhoid, and when I checked, I had a lot of difficulty in breathing and vomiting weakness. I was admitted to the hospital for 6 days and received treatment. After discharge, I still have difficulty breathing, though it's not as severe as before. Sometimes it happens, so what should I do? Will it get better on its own? I showed it to the doctor, and everything seems normal xray and ECG . The doctor prescribed an anxiety medication, but after discharge, doctor given me Faronem 200 and Laz 500 and this medicine also completed. Will it get better with these medications, but from 1-2 days I am feeling better some times feels like breathing problem and some time feels pain on right side of chest not every time
