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.

I've been dealing with a case of chickenpox from July 27th to August 12th and got back to my regular routine after that, even though I still had scars and felt a bit weak during the day. Sometimes I felt totally exhausted, but I just ignored it. Now, on August 27th, I'm feeling really weak with a 103 fever, heavy breathing, body aches, and some digestion problems. Should I be worried that these are related to chickenpox, or is this something different?

Chicken pox take 2 weeeks to heal in your case you got cured,the only thing is weakness due to infection,consume healthy diet and take adequate rest for that,and the fever that you are complaining about might not be related to chicken pox,that could be due to weakness,take dolo 650 three times in a day and atek rest,if its becoming worse,visit Physician for appropriate managemnet

I'm really concerned about my dad. He's been admitted to the hospital with dengue and typhoid, and his platelet count has dropped to 65,000. They're giving him sodium chloride fluids, ciprofloxacin injections, and Caripill three times a day. I'm just wondering, does this sound like the right treatment for his condition? Is there anything else that should be done?

-I'm sorry to hear about your dad's condition. The treatment seems to include standard care for dengue and typhoid, with fluids and antibiotics like ciprofloxacin. However, platelet count should be monitored closely, and other treatments may be necessary
