I recently had a mantoux test done and now, 48 hours later, there's this 20mm red and swollen area where the injection was given. I'm a bit worried about what this might mean health-wise. Any insights on this?

View allI'm really concerned about my friend's oxygen saturation levels. When she's lying down, it's around 85-89, but when she sits up, it improves to 92-93. She's currently on TB medication, and with 2L of oxygen, she can maintain a saturation of 92-95. I just want to know how her saturation can get back to normal levels. Any tips or advice on what we might do differently?
Continue same treatment for 2 days.

I'm really worried about my brother who has been in the ICU for two weeks now on ventilation because of COVID. His HRCT score is really high at 25 and the doctors have mentioned he might need a lung transplant and ECMO support which started on June 1st. Thankfully, he's responding okay to it, but his pulse is normal while his Spo2 is stuck at 75. They're saying he has to wait 60 days for the transplant. Do you think he'll be okay until then? Its scary because 100% of his lungs are infected. We had him airlifted to Apollo Hyderabad from Patna and he's still testing positive for COVID. Hes just 34 and never had any health issues before this. His WBC is at 20000, CRP is at 186, and D-dimer is at 1380. What do you think are his chances?
yes if he is on oxygen, he can makeup till then
