Dr. Louis Cooper answered

See MD: The shortness of breath concerns me and as a result, I recommend that you see a physician to confirm your diagnosis and then select appropriate medications for your G6PD issue. In the meantime, saline (salt water) nose spray and extra fluids will be helpful. Feel better.
