Question

I'm really worried because I tested positive for COVID-19 on May 4th, but luckily I had no symptoms and stayed in home isolation without needing steroids or oxygen. I've been experiencing some mild fatigue and sometimes a bit of a cough, but nothing serious, and I had congestion for just a couple of days. I've been taking Montekulsta for 10 days now. My breathing seems fine, but whenever I do steam inhalation, I notice white phlegm with black streaks in it. There's no phlegm if I skip the steam. Ive been like this for two days and my sugar levels after meals are around 158. Should I be concerned about black fungus infection and go for any specific tests to rule it out?

Question

I'm a bit worried about getting accurate readings from my oximeter. Does it matter which finger I use to check my oxygen levels and heart rate? I've heard different things and just want to make sure I'm doing it right.

Question

I'm just wondering if it's normal to still have a dry cough at this point in my treatment. Some days it's like 20 times, and other days maybe just 10 or none at all. I was diagnosed with a mediastinal lymph node through CECT and EBUS, and the cough has definitely gotten better over time, but it hasn't gone away completely. I'm about three and a half months into an eight-month treatment plan. Is the cough variation Im experiencing typical at this stage?

Question

I've been dealing with some chest issues after a trip to Delhi about two months ago, probably because of the pollution there. Ive got this persistent chest pain that feels like its stinging in the center and a couple of spots on the left and right. Theres also this thin, transparent, frothy mucus that comes out, especially when I get irritated, but strangely, Im not coughing at all. I've been in touch with doctors at the civil hospital in Gandhinagar. Theyve done a couple of chest X-rays, sputum tests, and one CBNet, and everything came back clearno TB or anything. But the mucus and post-nasal drip wont go away, and the chest pains gotten worse over the last couple of days. What could be going on?
