Question

My dad just got diagnosed with mild pneumonia after testing positive for Covid, and I'm trying to figure out if there are any treatment options we should start considering since it's only affecting his lower lungs right now. I'm a bit worried about what to do if the infection gets worseshould we be thinking about plasma therapy?

Question

I've been having chest pain since my ATT treatment back in 2016, especially when I breathe in. It gets worse with cold weather, drinking cold water, or after a cold shower, even during summer. I've told my doctor, but my reports have always shown normal results. In 2020, I saw a pulmonary doctor who found Multiple Centrilobular Nodular Opacities in the basal segment of my right lower lobe and bilateral axillary lymphadenopathy. They thought it might be TB and did a bronchoscopy, which came back negative. I've been using the inhaler Formoflo 250, but the pain is still there. This winter was rough with the pain getting worse, and I started having skin issues and hair loss. I'm worried because I'm ANA positive 4, but my CT thorax, X-ray, and ECG were normal, though I do have hypothyroid and low hemoglobin. My cough is mostly dry and orange, with a little blood occasionally. I'm currently taking Paracetamol 650 for fever due to the chest pain. What could be causing all of these symptoms, and what should I do next?

Question

I've been keeping track of my blood oxygen levels ever since I had COVID about six weeks ago. Lately, I've noticed that after climbing stairs, my oxygen levels sometimes drop to around 93-94 for a bit, and it takes about a minute to go back up to 96-97. I'm a bit concerned because I never really checked these numbers before having COVID. Should I be worried about this change in my oxygen levels, or is this just a normal recovery process? When I'm walking or doing the 6-minute test, my oxygen levels are fine at around 96-97, and theyre good when I'm sitting too, around 97-98. Does this sound alright to you?
