I have been experiencing a painful infection for several months, which my doctor initially thought might be a yeast infection. I was prescribed fluconazole to take every other day for 10 days, but I'm still experiencing pain. I have tried some creams for cuts, but they haven't helped. I have a complex medical history, including critical care for pneumonia, bronchitis, an inflamed heart, COPD, a blood clot, and high blood pressure. What could be causing this persistent infection, and what should I do next?

I've been experiencing wheezing for about 3 or 4 days, following a respiratory ailment with fever and coughing. My fever was 100.1 F and I took Ibuprofen. I have a history of shortness of breath, but heart, allergies, and lungs have been ruled out. Is the wheezing something that will probably go away on its own?
