I have a mucor infection(some say its aspergillious) in my respiratory system. I am feeling very weak ,short of breath,confusion, and body pain. Many dr.s disagree about treatment. they are doing nothing while I keep failing. I have been on high does steroids for years for asthma. What should I do?
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, If mucor is infecting you, it will produce symptoms like dyspnea (difficulty breathing), nausea, vomiting, persistent cough and coughing blood. If you are having these symptoms it should be confirmed by swabs of tissue or discharge and biopsy of the involved organ. If it is confirmed to be mucormycosis it can be treated by amphoteric B therapy. Regarding your asthma, you need to identify the triggering factor and try to avoid those triggering factors. Thank you.
