Naphthalene balls are insecticide... If someone breathes in enough of the vapor or eats naphthalene ball, they might develop hemolytic anemia which eventually can cause organ damage.

In view of your opioid dependence, you should get admitted at a psychiatric hospital or an approved de-addiction center for the management of your illness. If even after your leg amputation, you are unable to control the substance use, that itself shows that the severity of the illness is quite high. So, contact your nearest hospital at the earliest.

Pulmonologist•Gurgaon

Chronic respiratory diseases like bronchial asthma, bronchiectasis, copd, sarcoidosis and interstitial lung disease are vulnerable to repeated infections and multiple hospital visits or admission.

The main reasons for the increased susceptibility is altered lung defence, use of steroids in various respiratory conditions and multiple comorbidities like diabetes and coronary disease.

Patients should ideally be vaccinated for pneumococcal and influenza disease routinely.
