A spacer is a chamber that catches the medication and allows you to inhale it slowly, delivering more of it to your lungs. You can ask your doctor for one, or get one from the pharmacist for a few dollars.

Shortness of breath is a symptom of pneumonia, and comes from increased fluid and inflammation in your lungs. If it doesn't improve gradually over a couple weeks, you do need to see the doctor again to see if it is gone.

Are you beginning to feel any better?
