I recently tested positive for COVID-19 but now I'm negative. I only had mild symptoms and my oxygen saturation levels are normal. Should I still go ahead with an HRCT? I'm not sure if it's necessary. Can you help clarify this for me?

For your situation, the key points to consider are:
-
Current Health Status:

-
Purpose of HRCT:
- Typically used to assess lung damage in moderate to severe COVID-19 cases.
-
Medical Advice:
- Generally, with mild symptoms and normal oxygen levels, an HRCT scan may not be necessary.
-
When to Consider HRCT:

Recommendation:
Discuss with your healthcare provider to evaluate your specific condition and decide if an HRCT scan is warranted based on your clinical picture and any risk factors.

View allI've had COVID twice, once in September 2020 and again in April 2021. Since then, I've been feeling quite breathless. I'm worried if there might be any underlying disease causing this or if this is just a common after-effect of the virus. Can you help me understand what's going on?

I've been dealing with wheezing for a few years now, and recently, my cough has gotten a lot worse. There are times when I really struggle to catch my breath. I've been using Levolin as prescribed, and my doctor told me to continue with it. But I'm just wondering if that's really enough? Should I be considering any additional treatments or precautions?

Oxygen levels are fluctuating between 90 and 94. I'm really worried because the reports came back negative, but the CT scan shows positive for COVID-19. The hospital isn't allocating a bed. What should I do?
