Vageesh, it seems like your body is still in the process of healing from the pneumonia. In Ayurveda, we consider this as a residual imbalance in the respiratory system, primarily affecting the lungs and kapha dosha. The persistent phlegm and shortness of breath could indicate that the kapha is still aggravated, leading to excess mucus production. I recommend a gentle detox to clear the respiratory passages, such as herbal teas with ginger, turmeric, and tulsi, along with steam inhalations. Strengthening the immune system through herbs like Ashwagandha and Guggulu, and following a warm, light diet to reduce excess mucus, will support your recovery. It's also important to avoid exposure to cold and damp environments, as these can aggravate the condition further. If symptoms persist, consider a detailed consultation to explore deeper imbalances.

It seems like your body is still recovering from the lingering effects of pneumonia, which can sometimes result in an imbalance in the respiratory system, particularly with an excess of kapha dosha. The phlegm, coughing, and shortness of breath may be due to this persistent kapha disturbance, which causes mucus accumulation and affects the lungs. In Ayurveda, we focus on clearing the excess mucus while strengthening the lungs and respiratory function. I recommend using herbs like Tulsi, Ginger, and Pippali to help clear the airways, reduce inflammation, and improve your breathing. Steam inhalation with Eucalyptus or turmeric can also help loosen the phlegm and ease your symptoms. Along with this, maintaining a warm, light diet that avoids cold and heavy foods will help balance kapha. Drinking warm water throughout the day and incorporating breathing exercises like Pranayama can also aid in strengthening your respiratory system. If symptoms persist, a more detailed Ayurvedic treatment plan may be needed to address any underlying imbalances.

It sounds like you're going through a tough time with these lingering symptoms! Post-pneumonia recovery can sometimes drag on, and it's important to get to the root of it. From an Ayurvedic perspective, this could mean there's an imbalance in the Kapha dosha, which is known for accumulating phlegm and mucus. First off, let's focus on strengthening your respiratory and immune functions. Breathing exercises like pranayama can be very helpful, especially anulom vilom, which calms the mind and purifies the lungs. Try to do it in the morning after waking up for at least 10 minutes. Diet is key too - you might wanna reduce foods that increase Kapha, like dairy, fried foods, or too much sweet stuff. Instead, try incorporating warm, spicy, and light foods. You could have a mixture of honey with a pinch of black pepper and ginger in the morning on an empty stomach - it could help with mucus build-up. Turmeric milk is another good remedy. Adding a pinch of turmeric powder to a cup of warm milk (or almond milk if dairy isn’t your thing) before bed might assist in clearing congestion and coughing. Sip warm water throughout the day to stay hydrated and help thin out the mucus. Also, steaming with a few drops of eucalyptus oil can aid in respiratory relief. Though Ayurvedic practices can be helpful, it's crucial to keep in touch with your healthcare provider, especially if you notice no improvement or experience worsening symptoms like severe breathlessness. Sometimes, a prolonged issue might need a more detailed examination, don't hesitate to seek conventional medical help if necessary.
