I'm a 45-year-old guy, and I've been diagnosed with a moderate lung infection from a CT scan after having Covid. My oxygen levels have been fairly stable, ranging from 95 to 97. I've been following my doctor's advice and taking medication for the past six days, including Nintena 150 and Predmet 8. Do you think I'll ever get back to leading a normal life again?

I've just finished a round of clarithromycin but still have this chesty, wet, persistent cough. I went back and got prescribed azithromycin for 4 days, and it seemed to helpI felt much better. But now, just two days after finishing the meds, the cough is back. Could this be just my lungs clearing stuff out? I'm also feeling really congested in my nose again. What could be going on?

kk it's normal

Weve been using amoxicillin for the past 56 days, but the recent x-ray still shows no improvement. Should we consider getting a CT scan? How can we tell if its COVID pneumonia or just regular pneumonia? Are there specific tests to differentiate between the two? Is amoxicillin the only medication we should be taking for either type of pneumonia?

many antibiotics medications we can take not only one,* do CT scan

I've been on ATT for pulmonary Kochs diagnosed 3 months ago. My initial chest X-ray looked fine, but the CT scan showed the infection. The Montox test was positive with a 20mm induration. For my latest review, I had a chest X-ray, and it showed prominent bronchovascular markings. Can you tell me what this means? Also, I've been experiencing leg pain, especially in my knees and ankles. Is this something I should be worried about?

Do not panic it takes time complete the entire course of ATT and visit your Physician regularly for followup,consume balanced diet and stay hydrated.
