Your 7-month-old baby may be at risk of contracting COVID-19 from you, as the virus can spread through close contact. It is important to take precautions such as wearing a mask, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining distance as much as possible to protect your baby. As for the severity of your condition, it is important to monitor your symptoms closely. If you experience severe symptoms such as difficulty breathing, persistent chest pain, confusion, or bluish lips or face, seek medical attention immediately. For COVID-19 treatment, you can take medications such as paracetamol for fever and body aches, and antiviral medications like Remdesivir under the supervision of a healthcare provider. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest.

Question

I'm trying to understand what it means when the widal test result says "non reactive." Could you explain this in detail? Also, I've been dealing with typhoid for about 4 months now and it just won't go away. Can you recommend any good doctors for treating typhoid? I'm really worried since it's been such a long time.

Question

I'm really worried about my brother. He's 21 and had a fever for a long time, and we found out he has TB in his neck. The doctors at the government hospital put him on a treatment with 6 rifampicin pills daily, and after 6 months the node size decreased from 43mm to 29mm. They told him to continue for another month, but after that, they didn't do any follow-up or further checkups before stopping the treatment. Is it normal to stop the treatment without checking if the infection is completely gone or if the node size has decreased more? Should we try to get more checkups to make sure everything's okay?

Question

I'm pretty worried because my covid report says I'm positive, and my CT value is 20.45. Does that make my condition serious or is it just mild? Would love to know what this means.
