I'm really curious about how some patients recover from COVID-19 without using plasma from recovered patients. I read about Rohit Datta, a 45-year-old who was admitted to the isolation ward in Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital in Delhi, tested positive on March 2nd, and was discharged by March 14th after just taking paracetamol and other medicines prescribed by doctors. Can you explain how he might have recovered? I'm wondering if there's something specific about his treatment that helped or if it's something about the virus itself. Would love to understand more about it.

View allI'm really confused and worried about what's happening with me. Not too long ago, I had typhoid and after the 10-day treatment, the tests said I'm clear. But soon after getting back to my routine, I started driving for a long time, like 9 hours, and then a couple of days later, my hands and feet felt cold again, which was the initial symptom of my typhoid. Now, even though the typhoid seems to be gone, I'm experiencing this overwhelming weakness in my body and I can't seem to stand on my legs properly. What could be causing this?
The recurring coldness in hands and feet, along with weakness and inability to stand, could be due to post-typhoid complications, anemia, vitamin deficiencies, or neurological issues, so consult your doctor immediately for a thorough evaluation, including blood tests and physical examination, to determine the underlying cause and guide appropriate treatment.

How soon after recovering from dengue can I start drinking alcohol again? I've been feeling good for about a week now and my vitals are back to normal. Is it safe to have a drink, or should I wait a bit longer?
It is generally recommended to wait at least 2-3 weeks after recovering from dengue fever before consuming alcohol. This allows your body to fully recover and regain its strength. Remember to start with small amounts and listen to your body for any signs of discomfort.

I've got this sudden sharp pain in my left rib when I breathe in, and it started while I was just sitting at my desk at work. It's been half a day, and it hasn't gone away. I can't take a full deep breath. Do you think this will just go away on its own, or should I be worried?
Ecg and x-ray chest is advised to the patient.
