View allI've had nose congestion for the past three days, and last night it got a lot worse, with my chest feeling congested while I was breathing. Should I be worried about this, and what can I do to feel better?
It sounds like you're dealing with a combination of nasal and chest congestion, which could be due to a viral infection or allergies. It's important to rest, stay hydrated, and consider using a decongestant or steam inhalation. If your symptoms worsen or you experience difficulty breathing, seeking medical attention would be advisable.

My dad has been dealing with covid and it's been about 6 days now. He's running a fever, peaking at 100F every 24 hours, and his oxygen levels are fluctuating between 93 and 97. He's had a cough even before this, but it seems to have gotten a bit worse since the covid diagnosis. While he's quarantined at home and mostly okay, he does mention feeling short of breath at times. What should we be doing to make sure he's on the right track health-wise?
regular breathing exercises, drink warm water, check BP and blood sugar regularly

I'm looking over my blood CBC report and noticed that my RDW-CV is 15.2 and my MPV is 11.3. I'm not sure what these numbers mean. Plus, I've been running a fever for the last three days. Could these results be related to my fever? Should I be concerned about these levels?
Your CBC report shows a slightly elevated RDW-CV (15.2%) indicating a moderate variation in red blood cell size, which can be a sign of iron deficiency anemia, vitamin deficiency, or chronic inflammation; meanwhile, your MPV (11.3) is within the normal range; given your fever for the past three days, it's essential to consult your doctor to rule out underlying infections or conditions, such as a viral or bacterial infection, that may be causing your symptoms.
