Hi I'm nineteen years old and a vegetarian. I've been having this severe cold for a long time now, I can't sleep on the floor or stay outdoors for a long time sans a cardinal. Few months ago, I was diagnosed of typhoid which I treated and low blood level and I've been taking blood supplements. Recently, I was told that I have pneumonia, I always take hot baths and whenever I bath with cold or luke warm water, I have this severe general body pain and I have constant headaches too. Do I have pneumonia and how can I treat it?
