I'm really curious about how some patients recover from COVID-19 without using plasma from recovered patients. I read about Rohit Datta, a 45-year-old who was admitted to the isolation ward in Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital in Delhi, tested positive on March 2nd, and was discharged by March 14th after just taking paracetamol and other medicines prescribed by doctors. Can you explain how he might have recovered? I'm wondering if there's something specific about his treatment that helped or if it's something about the virus itself. Would love to understand more about it.

Question

I'm really worried about my mom who's been dealing with lymph nodes issues for two years now. We've done a bunch of tests like the histopathology and TB PCR, and luckily, they all came back negative for TB. There's no fluid in the lymph nodes, and she hasn't shown any symptoms like fever, weight loss, or tiredness. So, her doctor concluded it's not TB and put her on Clavam 650, Diclomol, and Montex LC for five days. I totally forgot to ask the doctor about how many Clavam 650 tablets she should be taking each day. Should it be one tablet or two? Could you please help me figure this out?

Question

I'm really concerned about my wife's health. She recently had an ESR test, and her result came back as 40mmhr. Could this indicate that she might have a TB infection? Also, I'm curious to know what the normal ESR range is when there's an infection involved.

Question

Ive been dealing with a cough and cold for a few days and recently had a fever that went up to around 100.5F. It only lasted for a bit and went down after taking pcm. My doctor suggested a blood test and it turns out my ESR is at 40, though my hemoglobin and platelet count are normal. I'm confused and a bit worried about why my ESR is high. The doctor told me to take azithromycin for 5 days. Is there something serious going on with this high ESR?
