What Causes Swollen And Smelly Feet After Pneumonia?
Had organising pneumonia in summer. Not been well since. Steroids have had some effect. Now feet are swollen and smelly ( newly) productive cough is back, dizziness and fatigue worse. Ct scan of lungs, brochoscopy clear. Very little abnormalities in blood. Any ideas? Hospital and Gp baffled.

Organizing pneumonia requires a longer course of steroidsi.e. for few months..
Swollen feet can just be a side effect of steroids.. Nothing to be worried about that.. Just reduce your salt intake
