Question

I'm really concerned because for the past 15 days, it feels like I'm not getting enough oxygen when I'm breathing deeply. I've also been experiencing nausea. What could be causing this?

Question

I'm a bit concerned because about two weeks ago, I had a cough and cold, but recently, for the last 10 days or so, I've noticed a small amount of blood in my sputum in the mornings when I cough up. It's not a lot, and only happens on and off, but the blood is bright red and looks fresh. The doctor gave me some antibiotics, but the blood is still there sometimes, even though the cough itself has gone away. I sometimes just feel like I need to clear my throat. I have my X-ray report ready too, just wondering if this is something to worry about?

Question

I've just finished three months of the Anti TB treatment, and my AFB Stain and GeneXpert results have come back negative. Now I'm wondering, should I still go ahead with an AFB Culture or a TB Culture test? I'm just a bit anxious about the next steps here.

Question

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?
