I'm a 35-year-old guy, and my whole family has tested positive for COVID-19, but I tested negative on June 29. Lately, I've noticed I have a minor cough, and sometimes my oxygen level drops to 88, although it usually bounces back to 97 or 98 after about a minute. I only feel a little drowsy when it happens. Everything else seems okay. What should I do now?

I'm feeling really breathless for the past 5 days, but I don't have any cough or flu symptoms. I've tried taking anti-allergic and anti-acidic nasal sprays, and Ive been using steam. I've also taken Novacef 500, Xyxal M, and Sompraz 40. I've got some relief, but it's not completely better. Could you give me some advice on what else I might try?

I'm really worried about my mom's recent X-ray results. She's diabetic and had a heart bypass back in 2012. The X-ray mentioned something about fibrosis in both upper lobes, and I've been reading up on fibrosis, especially pulmonary fibrosis. It seems so scary since it's apparently incurable and can be fatal. I really dont want to lose her. Can you tell me more about what this means and what we should do next?
I understand your concern, and it's completely natural to worry. Fibrosis in the lungs can sometimes be related to conditions like diabetes or previous heart surgery, but it doesn't always mean pulmonary fibrosis or anything fatal. It's important to follow up with the doctor who can assess her overall health and guide you on the next steps for treatment and management.
