Question 1

I'm really worried about my dad. He caught covid recently and while he's out of quarantine now, his ctscan score is 1225 and his oxygen level is only at 85. The doctor said he needs to be hospitalized and get some remdesivir treatment, but we can't find an available bed in any hospital nearby. His doctor also mentioned fabiflu tablets, vitamin C, zincovit, and hydroxychloroquine. Is it super urgent to get him into a hospital with these numbers? Or is it possible to manage his treatment at home somehow?

Accepted Answer

yes continue the same

Question 2

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?

Accepted Answer

start eating healthy and nutritious food.no need to consult s doctor

Question 3

I'm feeling kind of worried because I've been experiencing some heavy breathing on and off for a few days now. I have an allergy and I'm already taking montelukast tablets and using my inhaler with 250mg three times a day. The weird thing is, I don't have any trouble when I'm walking or jogging, and my oxygen levels are good at 98%. Could you help me understand what's going on?

Accepted Answer

continue the inhaler if symptoms exacerbated
