Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Every year around the end of April I come down with a cold/allergies. Last year I ended up in the hospital with pneumonia and adrenal failure. This year I increased my steroid dosage and was able to stay out of the hospital. I get a fever, cough with runny mucous and eventually I loose my voice. Any idea why this happens yearly?
The symptoms described by you are probably due to allergy. I suggest you to consult a pulmonologist for management of allergy. Avoiding the allergen is the best possible way to control the symptoms of allergy.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shailja Puri, Pathologist and Microbiologist
