Sharad Pawar has developed chest congestion, will need antibiotics course: Supriya Sule
New Delhi, February 9
Nationalist Congress Party president Sharad Pawar was admitted to Ruby Hall Clinic Hospital on Monday and his daughter Supriya Sule said that he has developed chest congestion and will need a five-day course of antibiotics.
Supriya Sule, MP, said in a post on X that Sharad Pawar's other vital parameters are normal.
"Baba has developed chest congestion and will need a 5-day course of antibiotics. Fortunately, all other vital parameters are normal. Thank you all for your good wishes and constant support. A heartfelt thank you to all the doctors from the bottom of my heart," she said.
Ruby Hall Clinic Hospital's Dr Abhijeet Lodha earlier told the media that Sharad Pawar's condition is stable.
His preliminary examination has been completed. Since his oxygen levels and heart rate are normal, there is no cause for concern at present. Due to continuous travel and engagements over the past few days, he has experienced fatigue. Due to chest congestion, a respiratory examination was also conducted. He has been admitted to a private room and does not require oxygen support," he said.
Rohit Pawar, grand nephew of Sharad Pawar said the senior leader has had a hectic schedule over the past few days.
"Over the past ten to twelve days, Sharad Pawar has had a very hectic schedule. Due to physical exhaustion and mild breathing discomfort, he was admitted to Ruby Hall Clinic. Doctors have conducted all necessary tests, and the results are normal. I personally spoke to the doctors. Once the remaining test reports are received, a decision will be taken on whether he should stay in Pune or be shifted to Mumbai," he said.
An appeal has been made to NCP(SP) workers not to gather in the hospital so that other patients are not inconvenienced.

It's good that his vitals are normal. Chest congestion can be scary, especially for seniors. Hope the antibiotics course works quickly. Our prayers are with him and his family.
Respect to Supriya Sule for keeping the public informed in a clear and calm manner. The appeal to workers not to crowd the hospital is very sensible. Wishing Pawar saheb good health.
This is a gentle reminder for all our senior leaders, regardless of party, to please pace themselves. The nation values your health as much as your work. Get well soon.
Fatigue from continuous travel is real, even for seasoned politicians. Hope he takes proper rest after this. The doctors at Ruby Hall are excellent, he's in good hands.
While I often disagree with his politics, one must acknowledge Sharad Pawar's immense contribution and resilience. Health comes first. Wishing him a full and quick recovery.
