I'm feeling really concerned because I had COVID over 8 months ago, and it was pretty severe with CORAD 5 and pneumonia. Since then, I just haven't felt like myself. I have this ongoing pain in my chest, mostly on the left side, and now my eyesight seems to be getting blurry too. I did an ECG and echo back in October, and they looked fine, and I had a chest X-ray in December and another ECG in January, which were also normal. I'm really at a loss about what to do next. Which type of doctor should I see, and is there a chance I'll ever feel like I did before COVID without all these issues?

I'm really worried because my parents and I have been dealing with COVID for two weeks now, and we're still coughing a lot. We've been taking ascoril ls, doxt t, and montaire LC, but it doesn't seem to help much. I've heard about getting an HR Chest CT Scan, and I'm wondering if I can get a doctor to prescribe it. Is it something we should consider?

you should consult a pulmonologist or physician and get a prescription for hrct

I was wondering about the right doses of isoniazid, ethambutol, and rifampicin for a woman who weighs 45kg. If she's taking Rcinex, which already has isoniazid in it, how should the doses be adjusted? Im a bit confused and want to make sure shes getting the right amounts.

Patient is advised isoniazide 600mg,800 mg of ethambutol and pyrazinamide 1250mg,r for 45kg weight pt.
