How Can Pneumonia Along With Fatigue And Joint Ache Be Treated?

My husband was sprayed all over his body and breathed in a coolant from a plastics press in march 2017. Drs can t find out what is wrong with him. He developed pneumonia several weeks after the exposure. He recovered from the pneumonia after being hospitalized for 5 days. He continues to have symptoms of weakness, skin and bones hurt, joints achy. Very tired. Slight sob. Had pulmonary function test to check for lung damage. Lots of labs have been done. Lupus. Lyme disease. Several cancer tests. Nothing definite. Slight low vit d which he is taking oral vitamins for. Did test positive for epstein Barr about 3 months ago. Every day feel worse. Drs don t know where to send him.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Consume plenty of liquids to maintain hydration. Balanced nutritious diet with avoidance of excess sugar , oily , non veg , spicy , dairy fat , junk foods , artificial sweeteners. Gargle with salted lukewarm water, add peppermint oil 3 times a day. Deep breathing exercises, walking in fresh air, YOGA help to recover faster. Avoid exposure to dust, pollens; if necessary use triple layer face mask. You can take Cefadroxil twice a day for five days, you can take Paracetamol twice a day for five days. You can Rantac D twice a day for five days, give Salbutamol twice a day for five days. Avoid smoking or any form of tobacco consumption. Avoid stress , anxiety. Tessalon pearls 3 times a day. Basil leaves , turmeric powder in boiled skimmed milk, pure honey, Chamomile, tea are herbal recovering agents. Consult later your doctor if required for further evaluation with lab tests , X-ray, chest & detailed management.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
