Question

I'm really worried about my dad. He's tested positive for COVID, and hes been feeling unwell for about a week now. We got him tested two days ago, and he had a fever and body aches for three days, but now his symptoms aren't as bad. His CT value in the RTPCR test came back as 16. Does that mean there's a high rate of infection? Is he at greater risk for lung infection with that CT value? Should we be doing any more tests to figure out if the virus load is low or high? I'm just not sure what to do next.

Question

I've been getting a fever at night after feeling cold for the past couple of days, but it seems to go away by morning. Is this something I should be worried about? What could be causing it? Would love to get some insight into what's going on.

Question

I'm really anxious about something that's been happening to me recently. A few days ago, I suddenly came down with a fever, which was really unusual because I haven't had a fever in a long time. What really worries me is that ever since that same evening, I've been struggling with shortness of breath. Yesterday, I went to see a doctor who ran some tests. My ECG and X-ray came out normal, but the Widal test showed I have typhoid, so now I'm in the hospital. It's been a day without a fever, but I still feel like I'm struggling to breathe, especially when I try to do even light physical activities. I found some stuff online that says having shortness of breath with typhoid could be a serious complication and usually happens around the third week of the illness. Can you shed some light on this for me? I'm kind of worried about what's going on.
