Current condition: atelectasis, fever, and ventilator
During the broadcast of A la Barbarossa (Telefe), journalist Pía Shaw shared concerning information about Medina's clinical condition. "Both of his lungs are very delicate, he doesn't breathe without the tube," she explained live.
According to her report, the medical team has not been able to remove his respiratory support and, although the professionals expect to do so in the coming days, it is not possible at this time due to the severity of the situation.

Meanwhile, it has emerged that the young man is suffering from atelectasis—a condition that causes partial lung collapse and, in simple terms, was described as a "mucus plug". This condition is being treated with intensive respiratory physical therapy sessions.
In addition, a recent culture yielded a positive result suggesting the onset of pneumonia. This may have triggered a fever spike during Sunday night. It has not yet been confirmed whether the origin of the infection is viral or bacterial, but the doctors have already started antibiotic treatment while they wait to identify the specific drug that will effectively combat the condition.
The main concern of the medical team is to avoid a tracheotomy, an invasive procedure considered when there is no favorable response to conventional treatment. "They want to solve these conditions as soon as possible to avoid reaching that point and to be able to gradually wake him up," Shaw noted regarding the medical team's intentions.

Meanwhile, on Mediodía Noticias (El Trece), Sandra Borghi and Javier Fabracci agreed that the onset of fever has raised the family's concerns, as they closely follow the influencer's progress. "He is on antibiotics and they are still trying to precisely identify which bacteria is affecting him. The positive aspect is that the rib cage surgery was successful and he is young, which works in his favor," Fabracci summarized.
