Question

I'm really worried about him. He recently got over COVID but now has this lung infection. His HCRT was at 1525 back in May, but when he got out of the hospital at the end of the month, it was down to 1125. His other tests like CRP and D-dimer seem normal, but he's been having some issues. He gets constipated, and in the mornings, he starts coughing a lot which gets better after he freshens up and burps. Similar thing happens after dinner; he coughs until he belches and then it's like back to normal. He keeps feeling like there's something stuck in his neck. Plus, he's type 2 diabetic, which concerns me. Can you suggest some medication or treatment that might help him?

Question

I'm feeling really unwell with a cold, cough, and throat issues, and I'm worried about it. I already paid for the consultation, but I'm getting calls from a physician instead. Could you please connect me with a pulmonology specialist for a video consultation? I think that's what I really need right now.

Question

I've been dealing with some health issues for a while now, and I'm really concerned. So, I had a fever for nearly two weeks starting around mid-April, and the highest it got was 103.5 degrees. It seemed like COVID since I had symptoms like loss of taste and smell, shortness of breath, weakness, and a persistent headache, but my COVID tests came back negative. I ended up in the hospital for a day and a half, and after getting some treatment, my fever went away. But I still can't catch a deep breath; I get winded easily, even with minimal activity. It's been about a month since I was discharged from the hospital, and this issue hasn't improved. What kind of doctor should I see, and what steps can I take to address this? I'm really looking for some guidance on what might be going on.

Question

I was diagnosed with TB after they found a left pleural effusion and completed a 6-month treatment, using Acurit4 for 2 months and Acurit3 for the other 4 months. Now everything's good and I don't have any symptoms. I'm wondering, is it safe for me to get the COVID vaccine now? Is there a specific one I should be going for, like Covishield or Covaxin?
