Hey, my dad tested positive back in February. He was in the hospital for about 5 days and got 6 vials of remdesivir. It's been a month since then, and we just got his HRCT scan done. The results show a CT score of 725. Should I be worried about this? Does it mean he's still dealing with pneumonia?

What are the 4 types of hypoxia?

The four types are as follows: (1) the hypoxemic type, in which the oxygen pressure in the blood going to the tissues is too low to saturate the hemoglobin. (2) the anemic type, in which the amount of functional hemoglobin is too small, and hence the capacity of the blood to carry oxygen is too low. (3) the stagnant type, in which the blood is or may be normal but the flow of blood to the tissues is reduced or unevenly distributed. (4) the histotoxic type, in which the tissue cells are poisoned and are therefore unable to make proper use of oxygen.

I've been dealing with this issue where I cough up phlegm every morning, and it's been flaring up again after I caught COVID. This was under control before I got sick, but now it's back again. Especially after I eat, it feels like it gets worse. Do you have any advice on how I can manage this?

Tab azithromycin 500mg,orally,once daily for 3 days is advised to the patient.
