I'm really concerned because I've been coughing up blood and having trouble breathing. My oxygen level has dropped to around 93, and I'm feeling a lot of chest tightness. The cough is red and has clots in it. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

I'm really worried and confused. My husband tested positive for COVID-19 after his third RTPCR test. We consulted three different doctors, and now his HRCT chest scan shows mild involvement with a score of 625. Can he recover at home with medication? Every doctor seems to have a different opinion, and Im not sure which advice to follow. What should I do?

take tablet doxycycline for twice a day for 5 days

I've been noticing that I'm getting white and clear sputum, and I'm a bit concerned. Is this something normal, or should I be worried? I don't have any other symptoms, but I'm not sure if this is something I should get checked out. Can you help?

it is normal only, try having hot water for drinking
