I'm trying to understand the corona severity score which is out of 40. Could you explain what that means? Like, what's considered a normal score for someone with COVID? I'm concerned about what these numbers indicate for a patient's condition.

Question

I'm on day 28 since I first noticed my symptoms and my CT scan showed mild pneumonia with a score of 525. Sometimes it still feels hard to take a deep breath. Can I stop isolating now?

I've been dealing with a cough for 1214 days, and it's probably due to my dust allergy. I visited a doctor last week, and he prescribed Macpod 200, Montek LC, and Rapitus plus syrup. But over the last couple of days, I've developed a fever and I'm feeling really weak. What should I do? Is this something to be worried about?

Question

I've been dealing with this cough since December 31st. It started with a sore throat and then turned into a cough and later came the colds. The cold has mellowed out now, but this persistent cough is bothering me. It feels like there are tiny hairs or dust particles stuck in my throat, and it's rough and dry, but not much phlegm. I've been taking Mucobron Forte capsules and they help a bit, but the cough's not gone yet and it's been 3 days. Should I keep taking them or maybe switch to Fluimucil? What do you think?
