    As a Ukrainian who also fought, good for you for leaving to take care of yourself. Others from the outside may view that as you being a coward, but anyone who has ever been in combat here would immediately come to your defense. I love defending my country, but at the same time, fighting with a torn muscle in my arm wasnt going to be fun. Keep it up civdiv.

      Yeah .awesome .How amazing .That the war could've be over since 9 month is NATO hadn't intervened isnt important .and that thousands of human life's could've been saved . No ..it's cool that they have guns and soldiers to kill more russian men and woman who don't want to fight this war for a corrupt and evil leader . But the other side looks awfully like they enjoy this . That's disgusting . I don't say the Russians are in any way better . Those can be animals like any human .

    As a nurse I have to say that both smoking and shee-sha are hugely implicated in bronchitis. If you stop both of them (not just smoking) you should have noticeable improvement in two weeks. They are also important in pneumonia, but more so in bronchitis.
    Try to vary your sleeping position. If you're always on your back then fluids will pool in one particular part of your lungs. For the bad pneumonias we would aggressively rotate patients from one side to the other every two hours. For someone like yourself, changing position a few times each night should be sufficient.
    Hydration helps this sort of thing.
    Note that changing positions and drinking will make things worse for a day or two or three. That's Ok! The lungs are actually cleaning themselves up so may feel worse at first.
    Cough suppressants should be avoided. Coughing is the body trying to clear things up so it should be allowed to run its course. Coughing also helps the lungs to open up more by briefly increasing the pressure inside them.
    Not trying to be a nag. I deal with pneumonias and bronchitis a lot so just want to give some non-pharmaceutical tips. And everyone breaks the rules a bit so no judgment if you do.

      The conditions effected everyone that was in the cold,, cold cold air overnight, no showers, cold dirt, cold blown out housing, no heat. I know he said his problems...they were problems all along the front line, many people actually died. They may have gotten shot and died, taking their last breath in the cold darkness. Farther back they have fire pits, generators and more amenities ....I guess by his saying it, it brings into reality that bombs have detonated and have chemical smoke exposures all over, the front is a deadly place.

    As one of ukrainians I would like to say thank you a lot for your help.
    It's just my opinion - please do not ignore your health state.
    One of military protocols says that soldier should look over his gear and health, once you missed those it will fail you in critical moment.
    It's not that kind of "be a crybaby and after first achooo immediately ask for antibiotics" but still try to keep yourself up and it's ok to ask for medical observation.
    I would like to wish you to be healthy, sharp and focused no matter what.

    Starting something and then stopping before it's over triggers a sense of abandoning a cause and its people. It's important to forbid yourself from viewing it that way. You did four months of good work (plus all the other time in Iraq) and made a huge contribution. All those people you trained, and even just being there and showing them they are not alone. And you were there at the most difficult time, when it really wasn't that sure that Ukraine would even last at all. Now other people are carrying the torch. Even without the lung issues, you could have stepped away feeling proud. You've got a good heart, thank you for helping people in need. Now please rest, both physically and mentally!

Fyi i have sleep apnea, have seasonal asthma, and also had bronchitis frequently after being around burn pits and in warzones. Some of the guys developed rheumatoid. Pay close attention to anything that develops. That stuff was toxic enough to create longterm issues and some issues we havent seen yet.

Just keep your back dry and you'll be good. Was diagnosed with Bronchitis during my 7th grade due to me letting my sweat dry up, Followed her advice and after a month.

    Lung issues and missions is a very good match. For the enemy. A soldier with such issues needs to focus on their health or risk becoming a liability. It is really bad they where running out of drugs for such a relatively common issue, I hope they are addressing that. Plenty of wars are lost that way.

      Doctor here. Usually, pneumonia (lung infection) has a bacterial origin. Giving an immunosuppressant as prednisolone could worsen the disease. Antibiotics need to be given. Only in cases of viral pneumonia, medication like prednisolone plays a role. In any case, seek medical care when you are seriously sick, dont just self-diagnose and take stuff that could make it actually worse.

The bad part.. you should probably go and get checkout out for possible cancer. Get a CT scan done and have radiologist look at it, then do the same thing in a few month so they can see what is happening in the lungs. If you don't have money to do it in US you could probably do it in Ukraine, might not be the same quality but they will catch the obvious stuff
