Hi,

In severe scoliosis, the rib cage may press against the lungs and heart, making it more difficult to breathe and harder for the heart to pump. For now I suggest some physiotherapy, massages with topical gels and hot fommentations and even yoga will be helpful.

Advil tablet, muscle relaxants like Thiochochicoside is highly recommended, long acting Tylenol will help till you get rid of your lung infections and follow up with your neurologist if all medical treatments fail for proper imaging and evaluation.

Hope the above information helps you. Any further clarifications feel free to ask.

Regards,
Dr. Ahmed Aly Hassan
