I was hoping to get some advice about my recovery. I had a negative antigen test on August 25th, but by the 27th, I started having fever and weakness, and then on the 29th, I experienced breathing issues. After going for a HRCT on August 30th, it showed Co Rad 4, and I got admitted the same day. I went through a week of treatment with Remedesivir, Meropenam, and Azithromycin, among other things. After being discharged 10 days ago, I took a 5-day course of Fluvir and some other medicines. Now, my pulse and oxygen levels are stable, but I'm still feeling weak. Do you think I need to take any medicine for the weakness, or should I talk to a doctor about it? Is this kind of weakness normal after such treatments?

I'm really concerned about my mother. She's been diagnosed with pneumonia, and she's having a lot of trouble breathing. She's also been struggling with diabetes for about 15 years now and has thyroid issues, which makes everything more complex. I came across some of your advice, and it really struck me how optimistic and caring you are. I'm hoping you can guide us on how to tackle this lung infection effectively. What would you recommend for her situation?

I'm currently pregnant and dealing with COPD. I've been advised to use Foracort 400 Rotacaps twice a day throughout my pregnancy, but I'm worried about whether it's safe for the baby. Could you give me some guidance on this?

I'm suddenly having breathing issues 11 days after recovering from COVID. My oximeter shows my oxygen levels are between 95 and 97. I didn't have any breathing problems during COVID itself. Is this normal, or could there still be some sort of COVID infection in my body?
