Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am currently suffering from vaccine-induced long-haul COVID. Oximetry reads 96 to 98%, yet constantly, I feel out of breath, and I cannot breathe. I tried nebulizing 3% food-grade hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) for fifteen minutes to relieve the infection. I have not repeated the practice after that. Could this possibly cause severe or permanent damage to my lungs? Please advise.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. To help you better, I need the following answers: 1. You did this inhalation how many days back 2. What sort of lung infection did you have that time? 3. Do you have any symptoms like shortness of breath, cough, and fever? Thank you.
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Thank you for the response. I used this treatment for one day over three sessions, which cumulatively equaled 15 to 20 minutes. I am unsure because I could not seek medical treatment, but I have had shortness of breath since the vaccination date. Yes, shortness of breath and cough was there, but no fever. I had these symptoms before nebulizing itself.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com. I suppose you have a lower respiratory tract infection. It would be best if you went to the emergency room. Get a chest X-ray and blood work done. Your doctor might start you on antibiotics and inhaled steroid nebulizer. It would help recover any damage done to the lung's mucosa. Also, they would screen you for COVID-19 (coronavirus disease-2019). I hope it helps you. Thank you.
