Subject: Post: <p>Yesterday morning started ok, I went to shower in the morning and enjoyed the hot steamy shower after the cold shower of our previous hostel. After washing my teeth I noticed blood in the sink and soon realized it was not related to teeth but coming from my lungs or throat. And there was pretty much of it coming when I coughed.. Not a nice thing to realize on another side of the world.</p><p>The blood stopped coming after a while, and we ended up thinking it would be some salt water mixed with blood left in the sinuses after diving and being released by the steamy shower. We walked around the city for a few hours without any signs of the problem anymore, until.. when coming back close to our hostel I coughed and realized my hand was covered by blood again.</p><p>In the hostel I measured my temperature and noticed a fastly raising fever. Wasn't a difficult choice to quickly look up the nearest 24h hospital recommended by my travel insurance company and take a taxi there.</p><p>The hospital turned out to be pretty nice and modern and after waiting for a while I got examined by a doctor who sent me to lung x-ray imaging. As I had thought, the x-ray images revealed some lung tissue inflammation and I got a bunch of drugs for that, including antibiotics. Kinda happy that it was nothing worse, even if still serious. Antibiotics should take care of it.</p><p>Not a nice experience, but today I'm already much better. Feeling better, not coughing blood anymore but still having slight fever. Seems like the antibiotics are working well. Later in the evening we should change country to Thailand by a night train, but we have beds on the train so that shouldn't be very stressing even if I'm still far from healthy.</p> Latitude: Longitude: Security Code:
