What To Do For Cold For A Cancer Patient?
my elderly mother has lung cancer in the past with removal of half her lung and one third of the other lung. She thought she had a cold and was treating it as such and today she started wheezing and having hallucinations. Should we take her to the emergency room at our hospital.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. She should go for emergency treatment. vshe may have severe lower respiratory tract infection like pneumonia or other. Her respiratory capacity is also not good because of surgery. So she may need external respiratory support. Consult your doctor and start treatment urgently. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
