Question 1

My husband has been dealing with sarcoidosis for about a year and a half now, and he was on methylpred for a year. He's asymptomatic at the moment, but I'm really curious about how we can tell if the disease is still present or if it's gone into remission. Can a chest X-ray reveal if the disease is still there, or would it show enlarged lymph nodes and other markers even when he's in remission? How can I tell if he's recovering early on?

Accepted Answer

do antibody test

Question 2

I'm really concerned about my mom's health. We've been checking her spo2 levels since August using a pulse oximeter, and while the rest of my family stays above 95, hers fluctuates between 89 and 92. It's October now, and the readings haven't changed much. I'm worried about what might be causing this and if it's indicative of any particular health issue. Could this be something serious?

Question 3

I'm really worried about this dry cough and breathing trouble I've been having for about a month. It's more noticeable at night or in the morning and worsens when there's smoke, like from an agarbatti. I get some relief with Divya Swasari cough syrup, but it doesn't seem to completely go away even though I'm on antibiotics from my physician. Could you help me figure out what's going on or suggest what else I might try to finally get better?
