Question 1

My mom caught COVID back on April 17, 2021, and even though its been a couple of months, her oxygen levels are still fluctuating between 92 and 95. Plus, shes been coughing when she eats. I took her to see a pulmonologist on June 1, and she was under treatment until June 25, but the doctor said we didn't need to go back. Is this normal for her recovery?

drink hot water

Question 2

I'm having a tough time with my breathingI struggle to take deep breaths sometimes, and I've been relying on breathing through my mouth for the past four months. I visited a pulmonologist who had me take a chest X-ray, but it came back normal. He prescribed Razo D Tab 20mg for three weeks. Things seemed better during the first week, but by the second week, the breathing issues returned. Other than this, I'm eating well and sleeping properly, but every now and then, when the breathing gets difficult, I feel fatigued. There's no other issue apart from this. However, due to the current lockdown, I can't visit a clinic for a follow-up. What should I do next? Any suggestions on managing this?

Accepted Answer

pamtop 40mg for 3 days , stop spicy food and drink warm water

Question 3

My 62-year-old mom has been dealing with pleural fluid buildup in her left lung for about 8 months now. We've done all sorts of tests, like bronchoscopy, pleural biopsy, ANA blot test, and checked for CEA and CA125 levels, and thankfully, both tuberculosis and malignancy have been ruled out. But now, the doctor has suggested Thoracoscopy. Can you explain what that is? Is it safe, and what should we expect from this procedure? She's a bit worried, and so am I. Any advice on how we should prepare or any questions we should ask her doctor about this?

Accepted Answer

kindly proceed with thoracoscopy to find the cause and go for the treatment

That could be due to allergy, identify the triggering factor and avoid it, maintain healthy lifestyle.
