I'm really concerned about my oxygen levels since I've tested positive for COVID-19. As of May 2nd, my oxygen level is at 92. The PCR results showed I'm COVID-19 positive with an E gene Ct value of 23 and an RdRp gene Ct value of 21. What do these Ct values mean? Should I be worried about the oxygen level too? Is there anything specific I need to do or look out for?

View allI'm an asthma patient since I was 15 years old. It used to be under control, but in the past year, it's gotten worse. When I eat tomatoes, I start getting phlegm, cough, wheezing, and shortness of breath. My doctor told me to use one puff of Seroflo 100 daily. But what I'm really curious about is why I seem to have such quick mucus production. What kind of care should I be taking?
take tablet mucinac for 5 days

I'm trying to understand my mom's X-ray report better. It mentions "Prominent bronchovascular markings in bilateral lower zones" and raises concerns about pneumonitis. They suggested an RTPCR test because of the current pandemic, but her test came back negative. Her oxygen levels are good at 99, and although she had a cough and fever, she's okay now with just a slight cough every now and then. Can you help explain what this all might mean?
report indicates that there was some inflammation or infection in her lungs (possibly pneumonitis), but since her RT-PCR test is negative, it's likely not related to COVID-19. The fact that her symptoms have improved (fever gone, only occasional cough) and her oxygen saturation is normal is a good sign of recovery.

I've been dealing with this issue of constant phlegm, and it's especially bad in the summer. Today, it just keeps coming up, and when I woke up, it felt like my throat was completely covered. I had to clear it out right away. What could be causing this?
